Translation help

I got an email in Russian from a lady in Minsk. I understood most of it except for the sign off. What does this mean....Âîò òàêèå ïèðîãè.

"that's what is going on"
or
"that's how things are"
or
"that's the deal"

that is as close in meaning as you can get.

There's the piroghies! (the piroghies are done)

She musta been cooking.

And now I will wait for a native speaker to
say what it really is and I will feel like a fool :-).

Well , I won't let you be a fool alone ; that's pretty much what I came up with , but my Russian is rudimentary at best .

"...Here is / there is the cake / pie ....."

Literal translation....There's the pie.

My Interpretation....that's the story.

Probably a slang. I don't know.

"there's the piroghies"
meaning "and that's that"
the letter is finished.

Kinda like the answer to "is it soup, yet?"
