me....I have to really plan ahead....I never could get the cabbage leaves trimmed just right so they rolled up nice...
made pierogis for Christmas with my mothers picture on the refrigerator and I know she was staring down with near horror from heaven at my "technique"....:)
Your technique is perfect, no doubt. It is your hands, lovingly creating a form of nourishment for your family. I know my mother (thankfully still with me, especially after a nasty bout of breast cancer) loves watching me make them when I am lucky enough to get a visit from her (a LOT of miles between us, but no distance at all :).
