Fauci Urges Americans to Use COVID as Excuse to Skip Thanksgiving with Horrible Relatives

21. My aunt learned how to make them, my mother never did.

And my aunt learned to make them from her Russian mother-in-law and then taught her 3 kids. I was told that the Russian variety traditionally contains potatoes while the Polish variety is usually sauerkraut. I can remember my grandmother making them, rinsing and draining the sauerkraut (and we kids liked them!). They were boiled, then fried in butter with bits of salt pork. She also made a kind of sweet bread that contained what she called "pot cheese," but that wasn't available here, either, so she used collage cheese which she drained overnight using cheese cloth. I wish I'd been able to learn how to cook from her, she made everything from scratch and never used any recipes. *sigh*
