A nudge is as good as a wink to a blind bat, say no more, say no more.As long as they have a stand that sells perogies!(Consults Monty Python scripts, finds nothing)
Eh?Perogies are a Central European dumpling. Brought by the immigrants who worked in the coal mines and steel mills. Seasoned mashed potatoes wrapped in dough the either boiled or as a fair favorite, deep fried. When I was growing up, we would travel and camp around the Pocono Mountains and a lot of other places throughout Pennsylvania. Whenever there was a festival of some type you could always count on at least one stand selling perogies. Not something often seen in the beach towns of Southern California.Ohhh pierogies! I was confused by ‘perogies’.
Closest to me is “Solidarity” in Santa Monica. But the reviews say the frozen ones some stores carry are better.The “i “ disappears with the Philadelphia accent. “Yo! Adriane!”
Going off into the weeds:
Pierogi:
The "i" spelling is a Polish variant of the word, using "ie" instead of "y" in the first syllable. The Americanized accent also places the accentuation on the second syllable where the "RO" sound is prominent and assures that there's a "gee" sounded in the third syllable: purr-RO gee.
Pyrohy:
Other Slavic languages may spell it "pyrohy" (PIER-o hee), where the accent is strongly on the first syllable and there is no "i" sound and no "g" sound.
I can see why Huss was confused . I learned it the second way and always thought that everyone else was talking about something else when they said it the Philly way, which changes the sound of the vowels and in the first syllable and the consonants in the third syllable, and moves the accentuation from the first syllable to the second. It's a typical Americanization of a foreign word, where we make it easier to pronounce in our language.

Is it ok to drink a Peroni while eating a Pierogi?

Peroni: bad. Pierogi: good. Panache: not as tasty as ganache.

Wassa matta wid u? U don-ta like Italian Budweiser?
(I feel the same way about Stella Artois. A country notorious for incredible beers makes that? While I'm at it, throw in Heineken - yeah not Belgium but still sux)
The light leak is still work in progress. It is in a very hard-to-get-to location, and only certain camera orientations will ruin the negative. I just got lucky with these ones.
Who out there likes the Voigtlander 40mm f/2? 35mm is my favorite focal length. I'd always dreamed that Nikon or Zeiss would make a slightly more modern 35mm f/1.4 and not make it a ridiculous size...N never made one and Z made it gargantuan...
The 40/2 is as close as we'll likely get (unless one of the Chinese companies does something interesting). It's a really nice lens - sharp enough, smooth enough draw (without being boring), nice colors, pretty flares. Makes me wish they'd try for a slightly more modern 50 (rather than their 58/55 that don't seem to offer too much advantage on a film camera over Nikon's similar offerings).
