It's Official!!!

I can actually let the cat out of the bag now!! I have known since last Thursday that I GOT the teaching job at DAL!!! I wanted to wait until I got the letter in my hands before announcing it to the world and I got the letter today. I have already written my acceptance letter and will hand deliver it tomorrow! I will start my new job on Tuesday August 4th (the 3rd is a Holiday in Halifax). So to celebrate I decided to make one of my fav. super calorie loaded dinners! Not good for the waistline but good for the soul! It is really easy and dates back to the days when I barely knew how to cook (at least 6 years now!).

Potato and Onion Perogies with Fried Maple Bacon and Onions (oh yeah gotta love maple bacon!)

Ingredients:

1 package of frozen potato and onion perogies (around 30 perogies - here I use no name brand but you can use whatever brand/flavour you want)
1 medium onion coarsely chopped
300 - 500 g of maple bacon (or regular bacon but be sure to drizle a little real maple syrup on it, the sweetness is wonderful)

Coarsely chop bacon and onion and fry together until golden brown. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add frozen perogies.
Once they are floating in the water they are ready to be added to your golden bacon mix. I definitely fry the whole lot at once in the bacon grease (not for the faint of heart!).
Once the perogies have been browned they are ready for your plate. Garnish with grated extra old white cheddar and sour cream and enjoy!!!
I used to eat this at least once every two weeks (how did I stay thin?) because it is easy and delicious but now it is relegated to once a year! I guess it could be a side dish if you only eat a couple...this lot will actually make dinner for us tonight and lunch for tomorrow. I cannot see myself eating 15 in one sitting...or can I! :)

I hope you are all having a great day!!!! I definitely am!
