French Cooking Ukrainian Style By Our Own Ukrainian Chef


We had a great youth activity this past month. One of our young men is a chef/cook at a local restaraunt. We bought the ingredients, he had everyone helping with some part of the meal and it turned outfantastic. The menu, Warm Salad with eggplant, peppers, and mushrooms, and tomatoes fried in a tomatoe sauce and mixed with cream cheese, Fried Turkey Livers fried in pineapple/sugar sauce, Chicken Curry, Baked Potatoes saturated in oil and sprinkles with bazil, Spinach Crepes with sweat and condensed milk. Definately not a Low Calory meal but it was very tasty.

Elder Bailey and Babooshka Cart


This is what we use to carry our groceries home from the market. The first month we were here we carried the heavy bags. This saves alot of wear and tear on the old bodies. It's still quite the ordeal to load up the cart and pull it home.

Ukrainian Feast

This is our authentic Ukrainian Christmas Dinner. In the pot is a dumpling filled with meat and served with mushrooms. The rolls have a fruit filling and sometimes a meat filling. There is also a a rice pudding dish, a cabbage salad type dish and a home made juice made with fruit. It was all very tasty, well most of it.
