BEEROCKS AND VERENIK~ COOKING WITH FAMILY

My cousin Karen chopping up the meet for the beerock filling.


My momma shredding the roast for the beerock stuffing. We do hamburger meat and my cousins do shredded beef. I love beerocks....

Karen is making mashed potato mixture for the Verenik recipe..... yummm

Big bowl of filling for the beerocks. Shredded beef, cabbage, onions and seasonings...

And they are stuffed and ready to rise..........I'm hungry now...

My momma rolling more dough for the next batch of beerocks.....

My cousin Lanette, it was her house we were making the huge mess in.

Now she is a pro! I'd like to see her make a pizza!

And this runs in the family. We didn't know it until this day but we BOTH do this. I've done it since childhood. Instantly have to PEE and I drop down until I can compose myself. Laughing makes it MUCH worse. Lets just say A LOT of this went on...... We can't all get together without a lot of laughter....

And let the laughing begin........

And she's down again. I LOVE YOU COUS'! And look at those yummy beerocks on the left........ mmmmmmmmmm

Ya, she's not getting up for awhile......

She is looking for a recipe and thought it would be BEST to sit down while doing it......good call cous'....

Verenik........yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is the Verenik boiling.......so many yummy things were made.....

Karen, stuffing and sealing the Verenik.....

Look at those folding and pinching abilities.......A 50's housewife has nothing on her!

Food everywhere.......this is how we roll........And yes that is a cube of butter getting ready to be melted........butter, butter, butter.......why do you like my butt so much?

Verenik with yummy butter poured over it.......my butt just grew.....

And she's down again...........LOL LOL

We really ARE this funny.......;)

Thought she was getting up but then someone had to crack another joke....

Another batch of Verenik and more butter being poured......sigh......

And she's up and getting ready to sample some of this hard work......

OH YEAH BABY!!!.........

My momma gets her fork going.........She's never had Verenik before.....poor thing....

She shoves it in here mouth with a "TADA" motion........

Then it hits her taste buds...... OMIGOSH.....I believe it was..... "MMMM.....MMMMMMMMM.......dis is gooooood....mmmmmmm"

And these are the popcorn balls we made with the rugrats......

I love my family. I love my cousins. I'm so blessed to have them all in my life.....

I'm looking forward to another cooking day! Are you ready cous's?
