Polish Perogies, Coleslaw, and Salted Cabbage

Home Cooked Perogies
My wife and I was invited for dinner at a friend's place yesterday. This is a Polish Canadian friend with his lovely family that we have known for quite a while now. We started becoming friends way back in 2010, right before we landed in Canada. Ever since then, we have been inviting each other to our homes for dinners and lunch occasionally. Both husband and wife are great cooks and we have the privilege to share some of their fine cooking.

Preserved Cabbage
Especially, Polish and Eastern European cuisines. Not only are they wonderful host but we get to bring home some of their pickled and preserved vegetables. There were once when they gave us some home made bread and home made pork liver sausages. Yesterday, we had the chance to dine with them again and they have graciously prepared the best home made perogies for dinner. It was really flavourful and authentic. The wife took four hours to make approximately five hundred pieces of perogies.

Coleslaw
The perogies stuffings was simply potatoes and home made white cheese. Other than perogies, we had coleslaw and preserved cabbage which were also home made. After dinner we chat a bit, have a glass of wine, and a cup of tea with some home made blueberry topped cake. My wife asked for the cake recipe and the recipe for the perogies too. And before we left for home, I was given a large bottle of preserved cabbage.
