[RynSmith]

Well, after a late afternoon trip to the transfer station and a subsequent jeans-soaking dog walk in the pitch black I decided that Halupkies sounded like a great weekend meal  :

I'm thinking the kitchen will be smelling pretty good tomorrow afternoon

Call them what you want my mother who is russian calls them one thing and my polish dad calls them something else.  The truth is there is nothing better.

For the meat part  I use have ground beef and half ground pork and mix that with the rice.

Yum Yum Yum!

This recipe reminded me of something my late Mom would make, they were similar but not wrapped in cabbage. Half ground pork and half ground beef with cooked rice made into meatballs.

She called them tongue in cheek... porcupine balls.  :D

Norm, I thought that was what you got when you mixed sawdust, fryer grease, and molasses to feed the bears. :D  ;)

Seen lots of bear sign today to in the beech, it was a good beech nut year. All kinds of limbs broken in the tops where the bears where reaching the nuts. The only branches left with dead leaves on them. Never seen no tracks so maybe they are denning. I was working in bear den country on hardwood ridge, but never saw any dens. I'm sure one is up there someplace. I did see some deer tracks though, the first I seen all fall. They were traveling along the streams down below the hardwood, in the softwood stand.

Well that's your update for today. :D

Oh, sorry about messing with the cabbage rolls. ;)
