Set story:
As we awake on this first day of the New Year, there is a great big pot in the refrigerator waiting to be transferred back to the stove. For your tummy it promises simple hamburger dumplings in a hamhock broth. For your heart it holds tradition, memory, family, heritage, and love.

After years of remembering and missing it with each New Year’s Day, I finally made my own first pot of Grandma Protacio’s pelemeni in 2007, thanks to nagging my mom about finding the recipe. Becca had done an internet search and found a recipe for me a coupla years ago (and we learned we had never spelled it right), but I’d never made it then: It sounded way different (ours was always eaten as a soup). Plus I knew mom had the “real deal” stored away somewhere, and I chose instead to trust in the day she’d surely find it.

This year Zach was home to help me (his hands are in these photos) and entertain me… it became an all of New Year’s Eve production, with flour everywhere when we were done with the dumpling making.

Not going to tell you it’s absolutely delicious, for truthfully it needs a lot of shoyu as you see in this last photo (that part is definitely not Russian). But taste is not the point. It’s tradition, and the only one I remember as the quarter-blooded Russian I am.
