 Vareniki by Dialing
Vareniki - one of the most specific Ukrainian dishes. Their preparation, apparently, is simple: a dough, with the diversified stuffings. However rather tasty vareniki it is possible to prepare, only carefully observing all details of technology. Very few people knows, that gluing properties of the test at a moulding varenikov directly depend on temperature of water, and the flour should be especially thin grinding.
So, would like to bring to your attention:
It better than tartalini,
lingvini and ravioli,
(scuzi mia :)))
it is - VARENIKI
with a water-melon, small cherries, raspberry, grapes, apples, bananas, black currant, mulberry, red currant - so tasty!!! :)

 Kids can teach us to be
open to others by Bobek
I am grateful for the purity of friendship I was offered by children and the lessons in truth, acceptance and simple wisdom they taught me again. I owe them my love; and I certainly owe them much more than this: I owe them to practise what they taught me. Will we understand their lessons...? Leave a Comment

* If you bring flowers, make sure it is an odd number of flowers.
* Never put an empty bottle on the table.(only alcoholic drinks bottles, when you are partying) Put the bottle on the floor.
* As a rule, you cannot "change hands" when pouring drinks. A person, who started to pour drinks, will be a bartender for the evening.
* Do not shake hands accross the threshold of a door. It is considered bad luck.
* Never whistle inside the house. It means that there will not be any money in the house.
* At the entrance of upscale restaurants, expect that your coat, briefcase or baggage will be checked.
* In Orthodox Churches women wear scarves or hats, and men take off their hats.
* Be prepared to take off your shoes upon entering a house. Most hosts will provide you with a pair of slippers.
* We wear a marriage ring on the right hand here in Ukraine. Leave a Comment

The Kievites and the city visitors celebrate the City Day on the last weekend in May.
This holiday has become very popular of late and attracts thousands of people at the improvised stages all over the city, in each of its ten districts.
A big part of the festival is the tradesmen exhibition in St.Andrew's Descent where you can see and buy lots of souveniers of folk handicrafts, pictures of local painters and lots of other trivia.
The city looks expecially festive on those days when the chestnuts are in blossom! Leave a Comment
