Here are a few long lost pictures, illustrating the glory of my daily life in Ukraine. Enjoy.
What I Do When I Could Be Blogging (Or Lesson-planning, Since That Is Part of My Job)
Make vareniki from scratch.
A small showcase of my untapped cooking potential.
Cut off my hair.
One of these days, I will be bald accidentally.
Run on 6 in. thick ice, through ankle-deep slush. Thank you Yaktrax for keeping me from not eating shit every time I exercise.
When I wear theses, I imagine stomping peoples' faces.
Valentine’s Day Goodies
I wasn’t kidding when I said that Ukrainians took Valentine’s Day seriously.
Raking in the loot from my students.
Packages #2, 3, and 4
Speaking of loot, please admire the contents of the packages that my dad, mom, and Courtney sent me. I have the best family, really. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My father doubled my wardrobe!
I am 22 and my father dresses me. I am not ashamed.
My momma sent Valentines, candy, books and game for my kiddies! (And me!)
York Peppermint Patties make me weep with happiness.
Courtney and her creative talents created a spectacular masterpiece of a calendar!
Hopefully this suffices as an entry. Stay tuned, in the next few days I’ll be filling in the past three weeks – at least, the interesting parts, anyway.
Your dishes are very pretty.
Love,
Momma
I agree, where did you find the nice dish, I need one? Nother package on the way – you should have a total of 3 enroute to you.
Love you
Pops
I would just like to say, as someone who has made vareniky and failed horribly, multiple times, I am incredibly impressed with what you’ve got in that picture. Beautifully done, ma’am.
