4. "When I first lived by myself, I was really craving pierogies, and the shitty grocery store that was walking distance from my house didn't have Mrs. T's. I decided I would make them from scratch instead (with zero knowledge of how to make any type of dough OR assemble anything resembling a dumpling)..."
"I spent hours making those little lumps of sadness, only to watch them all promptly fall apart in the water. I tried to eat the super-thick dough and weird boiled filling anyway, but it was unfathomably bad.
Luckily, now I am pretty good at baking, making various doughs, and I even make my own pasta and dumplings regularly...so it was a nice teaching moment. Still haven't tried pierogies since, so maybe I will have to give it a go now that I actually know what the fuck I'm doing."
