Happy Birthday Elise!

Yesterday, we celebrated the 15th birthday of my sister Elise. Our day started by playing games on the PlayStation. It was a decent way to start the morning, slow and enjoyable. Next, we got around for the day, as usual. I, then, drove everyone to the grocery store to get last minute supplies for the birthday meal. It went pretty well, with us only being there for about twenty minutes or so. We came back with donuts for breakfast, and potatoes for pierogies. For lunch, we had a cabbage casserole and some ginger ale. It was amazing! My mom made a wonderful meal. After several loads of dishes throughout the day, we soon began to see another meal take shape. Yet, to my surprise we needed to go to the store, again. Though, our route did extend to a trip to the post office. When we got back, Mom and Elise started the pierogies. The dough was made first, then the potato-cheese mixture. Soon, the little pierogi-like figures could be seen, being submerged under boiling water and thrown into the frying pan. Finally, delicious pierogies were made as well as Elise's birthday dessert. We usually have a birthday cake, yet this time we had something more original. We made some cake, yes, but we covered it in berries and Devonshire cream. It was exquisite! I totally recommend this treat over the usual frosted cakes.

Thanks for reading!
