I grew up in the Ukrainian part of Alberta, Canada. I miss the closeness of that community. Especially the Ukrainian dancing (my older brother did this) and the food! Mmmm! Except at some of the meals when the Baba's would pile pyrogy (they called it "pedaheh" sometimes) onto our plates until we were physically ill! It was always (said with heavy accent) "Eat! Eat! You are too skinny! Eat!!" Ugh LOL Good job we were all so into sports! But I still miss it! Much more caring and loving folks than I have had as neighbours since.

And I just googled some and see that pedaheh and kubasa are Canadian perversions of the proper words in Ukrainian. Gah! I wonder what other Ukrainian words my family knows are perversions! I was little, so I only got the words for my favorite foods haha

Yes! Pierogi and pelmeni and kolbasa ) Oh, and I am sure you know borsch and vareniki and salo?


Long time ago my family hosted a few Peace Corps volunteers. When girls arrived they could not eat much - all they wanted was a sandwich and a cup of juice or coffee. But my mom being real ukrainian hostess "taught" them to eat soup and borsch and kasha and all this food we eat here. And before they left they could afford to finish a plate with probably 1 - 1.5kg food on it.

And ukrainian wedding is something.. I wish you could participate in one of the traditional weddings that people make in their home villages/countries. It is unbelievably fun! A lot of folk music and dancing and zabavy (entertainment).

It is so strange how soap can make people closer. Get to know each other. I am so glad to be here with you ladies and guys!

I'm half Polish (don't ask which half) and grew up with homemade pierogi and kielbasa. I still make my own pierogi, but wish I could find someone that makes real kielbasa - not that stuff in the stores.

Mmmmm borsch.... although this time of year my husband prefers green. I like it but not as much.
