Hey everyone! Sorry, it's been awhile. Yesterday did not end well, but today was much better. We had a double dose of Xreshchennia- Novaky and U2. My cohort and I dressed up in kitchen armor and presented the tabir with a new type of weapon to protect from enemies, and by the time it was U2's turn we were out of ideas so we sang a 4 line song and presented them with cookies. God- I can't believe I just sang a duet in front of like 300 people!!! Thru a bullhorn, no less!!!
Deedle-dit-dit...deedle-dit-dit....TURKEY UPDATE!!!! Some of you have been wondering what happened to those 25 turkeys that went in, then out, then back in the ovens. Well, they finished cooking and became a delicious lunch accompanied by mashed potatoes (grrrrr), gravy, green beans and cranberry sauce. Dinner was the kobasy that I had to cut. That came with kapusta, (hey- did any of you out there catch some Iphone commercial with the guy's name on the address thingy- it was Ted Kapusta. I kid you not!!) and rye bread. Yum. Good Uki meal.
Fridge smell of the day today- Pickles!! Today's lunch (am I confusing you?) was Goulash!!!
And Egg noodles!!! And Pickles!!! It was very good.
Um, I do not have degrees in comedy. That was a joke that obviously fell flat. Hey- it can't all work.
So I guess this blog has taken off somewhat. People are asking me "Who's the blogger?" And I point to the 72 year old babtsia who works with me. That gets a chuckle. It wasn't my intention to be anonymous. I was just doing this for fun. Please keep reading, feel free to ask questions, and I will certainly take ideas for posts. Thank you for all your positive support!!!

  1. I think we should have a tabir for all the moms and babtsi who have cooked all their lives and could use a break from the stove.

  3. Lesiu! Loving the blog! We feel like we are there with you, but also happy that we are not. I don't remember eating anything like you are describing when we were there, besides the sticky buns. And I don't remember the pani z kukhni walking around the oselia either. Now we know why. Are you going to cater sviata from now on... It should be a breeze after these three weeks at Chatham.
    If you can, describe your co-workers some more. I want to know more about the people in the trenches with you. Keep it coming! - Anya

  4. You should make a post with a glossary of terms for non-ukes. Something like Tabir=Camp, Novaky=Cubscouts, Kobasy=cholesterol delivery system, etc... Keep up the great work!
