basically, its kind of like a dumpling that is filled with anything from potatoes to fruit. all you do is boil it in water for about 5 minutes and serve it with sour cream. it's a marvelous dish.
see all the pretty ones? those are mine.
our first batch was filled with mashed potatoes with sauteed onions.
the dough is egg, water and flour. pretty easy. although the kneading is definitely a learned skill.
any kind of berry or fresh fruit is delicious inside. especially with sugar on top.
we had mushrooms on top of the potato ones.
the experts made the blueberry ones, they're more difficult.
although, i must say, i was kiiiiind of really good. maybe vereniki making is the hidden talent i've been searching for my whole life? also, this is not me. this was alyonna. she's a real expert.
put a lil sour cream on top. deeeeelicious.
yes, please.
look out, everyone. ukrainian cuisine is headed your way. i'm going to force feed this food to everyone i know.
well, we have one and a half more days here.
weird.

oh my.
hopefully i'll be able to find some wifi in italy or germany or kiev and give an update on the post-trip debrief thing. aka, a sweet vaca.
alright. that's all for now.
byeeeeee.
Lauren, those look delicious. I can't wait for a Ukrainian dinner prepared by our very own pupsik! Maybe you could do a slide show for us too! :) See you in a little more than a week. Love you!
