A traditional Easter treat at

Mahon of E. Ridge Street,
Chase Manor, is Pagach, A
Ukrainian dish known also as
~ Paponki. Comprised of a flaky

rare dishes which—according to
Anna Mahon—has not been
improved by the introduction of
- modern gas and electric ovens.
Nostalif¥cally recalling the
slightly singed Pagach her
grandmother customarily
served to friends and family in
Plymouth, Anna claims that
Pagach tasted even better then
when it was cooked in a coal
stove!
The mother of four young
children—Jimmy is 10;-Paul, 7;
Mark, 5, and Erin, 7% months—
Anna finds her time is too
limited to prepare the tasty
Paponki as often as she or her
family would like. (A social
studies teacher and coach at
Wyoming Valley West High
School, Jim Mahon is an Irish-
man who nevertheless enjoys
the traditional Ukrainian dishes
Anna learned to make from her
mother). No matter how busy
she is, though, Anna always
finds time to make Pagach at

cream, Paponki is a welcome
addition to any holiday menu at
the Mahon’s home.
The Mahons have an abun-
dance of holidays on which to
enjoy Paponki, too. Because
they observe both the Gregorian
and Julian calendars, the
Mahons celebrate Easter,
for example, on two separate
Sundays. In keeping with family
tradition, the Mahon children
will give exquisitely decorated
Easter eggs to relatives and
friends, a gift symbolic of the
eternal life promised at Easter.
