Grandma, where are you when I need you?!! :) Yesterday we got a card and letter from Grandma Krystik. It was so nice to read her writing and hear about her days. All of sudden I started to realize that Christmas really isn’t going to be the same without her cooking, so Ben and I ventured out into the rain to find some cheese, cabbage and tomato sauce. Yes, you guessed it! Ukranian food was about to come to Taiwan. All day long on Christmas Eve I slaved away, searching the internet for a recipe, steaming cabbage, frying meat, mashing potatoes, rolling dough- you name it I did it! Ben even helped too along the way. By 6:00pm everything was done and we were off to a potluck dinner at a friends house where we introduced everyone to the ‘perogy’ and ‘holopchi.’ Only one person with a polish background had ever heard of them…but I must brag a little- everyone loved them! They didn’t taste as good as Grandma’s, that’s for sure, but it was a little taste of home that made Christmas a little better this year :)
