I've got some time to kill before I head out, and I'd been meaning to put this up here since last semester -- a photo project on podoyskis that I did for a folklore class. I feel like I'm gaining weight just looking at these things.

Wow! Very interesting! Thanks so much for posting; I intend to try this sometime.

I hate Ragu, though. D: It is too sweet, but otherwise flavourless. What's wrong with homemade pasta sauce? XD

[dorkage]

You're welcome! (: Lemme know how they turn out!

My grandmother and great grandmother got very offended when people suggested to put pasta sauce on them, probably because they were referred to as ravioli (my family is both Lithuanian and Sicilian-Italian). xD; They are very much like ravioli, but they're very different, too.

I think their mindsets were, ravioli is a lot easier to make than podoyskis, so why would you treat a podoyski like a ravioli? The Ragu sauce was added as a compromise.

Personally, it's kind of a relief for me to just dump the spaghetti sauce on and be done with it. I use Emeril's kicked up tomato or marinara sauces instead of Ragu, though x)

You know what? We don't use red sauce on our ravioli, either; we usually do a cream sauce flavoured with garlic and other herbs, or olive oil with crispy garlic slices. I'd be more inclined to do something with oil than the bacon grease thing.... That sounds very salty. @_@

That actually sounds really good. x) And yeah, the traditional sauce is really a hit and miss with people. I personally love it, but I've been served it for years, so.

Also, if you want to give the cottage cheese podoyskis a shot, you might try mixing the cottage cheese with a tiny splash of milk, and drizzling melted butter over the finished podoyskis. They cottage cheese ones are a whole lot harder to twist in my opinion though, because the filling isn't as firm as the meat filling.

holy shoot, awesome pictures AND directions!

Since your journal is locked, it's safe for me to say I enjoy attempting to cook new things. I say attempting because things never turn out right the first time for me.

But then, it wouldn't be any fun if it was easy.

Thank you!

Also this entry is public. :P But keep trying!
