This was in the winter in Siberia. I had been longing for a steak! I told her I will cook for her...no worries just let me cook! We went to the market and bought some descent looking beef. All was good until the cooking started. She had never seen anyone use the broil selection on an oven. Well, she started worrying about everything else...brocoli...which she had never eaten, and the potatoes I was cooking on the stove. Well I'm sure you understand when you are broiling meat it is very time sensitive. I couldn't get her out of my way...well the steaks didn't catch fire but they were close enough to smoke up the apartment real good! No ventilation but opening the windows and it was at least -20. Yeap! She were PO'd! Took a long time before she let me cook again and now it;s a good laugh since she has learned what a broiler does!!!!

I said it looked good...It were edible but so well done it was like leather! There was a very large market near our apartment. I can understand why they tell us to cook meat well done....was basically a flea market with hundreds of venders(I am sure individual farmers,etc.). When we were in Moscow it was a different story. We did most of our grocery shopping at Ramstore....a chain. They had fairly descent beef. My cooking had to change from broiling to the frying pan while we were in Russia though! I guess it was a few months after she arrived her before I got to show her the proper use of a broiler(This was only because we ran out of gas for the grill!). Yeah that vent hood do make a difference! My wife does like and appreciate that grill. It cooks better and does not mess up the kitchen!

We buy peas in a can for a salad she makes. When we eat peas for dinner we usually eat the frozen kind...IE they are cooked and warm. Well we were out of frozen and had a can. She just opened em up and served em. OH Well!

I will have to turn off my cable, disconnect my internet, and throw out my TV... HE HE HE or just do this or maybe this |

They would all take their turn going round the table to make a speech , and after every speech, there would be a toast and a shot of vodka!! It becomes a bit of a session when theres 22 of you sat around the table!! And the amount of food put out, there was enough to fedd 50 , let alone 22 of us! Thats russian hospitality for you! Yes, I was a bit worse for wear the next day! Regards JC |

I was raised with those values and cherish them. The ex's I've had didn't see those as being right. It was always what can you buy for me and what can you do for me... I wanted to share and it seems that it was very 1 sided with AW. I married a wonderful woman from Ukraine and honestly have never been happier! |

Its the love God wants everyone to have!Fairy tale love is real if you open your eyes.....Its not impossible folks..Thank God I was trying to learn about Ukraine one day and met my love!!!
