I'm really confused. Are you updating the spreadsheet Krikit? When I check on the link, there is no Nabob on there. I don't know if it's not been added, or something with my computer when I open the spreadsheet?

What is Nabob? There's a road named Nabob out in the country near me and I thought it was a person's last name that the road was named after. This is a food?

here is the perogie recipe if anyone is interested...

Dough: mix 1 cup of flour, 1/2 small egg and about 1/4 cup of margarine together with a pastry blender. then add about 1/2 tablespoon sour cream and about 1/4 cup water. Knead until blended. Let dough rest about 30 minutes.

Filling: Boil and mash 5 medium-large potatoes and mix with about 1/4 cup of cheese whiz or shredded cheddar cheese, 1 onion, chopped fine and salt and pepper to taste... Let cool...

Roll out dough on a floured surface, very thin. Cut out round shapes and fill with about a tablespoon of filling, fold in half and pinch closed. Drop perogies 4 or 5 at a time into a pot of boiling salted and oiled water. Stir carefully. when the water boils again and they rise to the top (3 to 5 minutes) they are done. Remove and drain. Drop them into melted 1/4 cup of margarine, flip throughly to coat. Keep them warm in the oven. Serve with sour cream...

Same as on the other thread incase you don't see it. What in hell is a pastry blender? Can I just use a regular bowl or something instead?

I have yet to find a good substitute for the Kraft pizza dough/sauce in a box mix

chef boyardee (sp.?) makes one. i've been in canada for 5 years, though, so who knows if they still make it anymore. last time i bought it, i bought it at save a lot/more for less, whatever it's called now. they had it in stock all the time.

I am not sure if this is a missing in TN thing, but they have never heard of butter tarts down here.

When I made them from scratch my husband was like "WOW, what are these!!"

No, they haven't heard of them in NC or FL either. Can't even get the premade mini tart shells for them. Just the pie size. weird
