Ukrainian Christmas Eve

Last, but not least of the holiday festivities - Ukrainian Christmas! For the eve of this occasion, Larissa made an awesome meal full of Slavic delights! We has 15 at the table(s).


Here is Steven, lounging along our kitchen counter / eating area. He looks like he is ready to eat. Randall, Mariecke, Jeff and Jenn (oh, and Steve too, in the second shot!). You can see the couch that was moved into the old dining area of the kitchen, in order to accomodate the tables in the living room of the house. Well, that is my new Kitchen Couch in Larissa's Bistro. I love it there, and we are most pleased to have the dining room set all together again in our old living room - where we eat together every night. Yay! Jeff and Jenn, and of course, the big spread of food with everyone ready to eat! Well, everyone except Alex and me (Larissa) - Alex had a fever, and ended up tucked in bed just after the start of dinner. Don't worry - he had perogies and borscht the next day, when he was feeling better! Here is the gang, getting started on borscht and braided bread. MMM... it was a yummy night... I think I made about 10 different dishes in all.
