    This time of year is great for me. I frequent the bake sales at the Ukrainian Churches fundraisers. I spend hundreds of dollars on delicious food. Borsch, lentil soups, apple strudels, pergies, (p'yerohi) and so much more. They help me learn Ukrainian and welcome me into their lives. Nicest people I have ever met, and 100% of all funds go to medical aid and housing Ukrainian refugees in the area. When I watch this video I will have warm tea or soup.

    Thank you Anna. Everything looks delicious. I think I'd just ask a local for recommendations and maybe ask the server what they like most. I know nothing about Ukrainian food, but I'd love to try some. I wish you and your mom well on Christmas and the holiday season. My prayer for Ukraine is for peace with freedom.

    Ukrainian food is one of my favorite topics! Thank you for this video, Anna. Ever since my visit to Ukraine in 2019, I have really enjoyed trying many new dishes. Some aren't specifically Ukrainian but seem to be popular there. I have had varenyky, borsch, draniki (deruny), okroshka, Olivye salad, salo, shashlik, pelmeni, kapusnyak, kapusta, kutya, chenahy, chebureki, Poltava dumplings, dried fish, Ukrainian beer, chicken Kyiv, Paska bread, vinaigrette salad, plov, kvas, kefir, ryazhenka, kompot, chechil cheese, Odesskaya brinza cheese, buckwheat honey, and every kind of pickled cucumber, tomato, mushroom, pepper, or watermelon I can find. I may be missing a few items or not know the names of other items. I am such a huge fan of Ukrainian pickles (Polish, too) that I really don't even like most American pickles anymore.

    You're suffering in your war - yet you've better food on your table than I do.
    I met a Ukrainian model (living in Thailand 5 years now) and found her to be most impressive, her Grandmother is at home in Odessa and she has a big knife ready in case the Ruskies come knocking.
    Zelensky's visit to Congress was awesome - I pray it will stop USA from backing down on financial aid packages. He is by far the best public figure you could imagine!

    I started making Borscht using my grandma's recipe that she often made when I was a kid. They were from the Donetsk area before coming to Canada after Stalin started killing them all. It's really good. I like lots of dill and pepper and even hot sauce which goes great with the sour cream. Merry Christmas to you all!

    That Stew Pot looks particularly mouth watering to an Englishman, we take our various Meat Pies very seriously. The Pancakes as a finisher, absolute Heaven. All gorgeous and warming Dishes. When the Orcs are down the Drain, and Ukraine is blended into the European Family, and hopefully soon the EU, I can see a very lucrative export Market for products like these. And that Hearth/ Fireplace behind you is exquisite. Beautiful in a Cottage.
    Wishing you and all Ukranians as peaceful a Christmas as possible, we all pray for a swift return to a normal World in 2023.

    🎄Merry Christmas, Anna and Sasha! 🎄Щасливого Різдва, Курінь restaurant! 🎄
    Ahhh! Thank you, Anna. So, that's what they're called... деруни !! My Dad was always cooking those when I was very young. We used to wait patiently while he kept a whole batch of them piled up, and kept warm in the oven; after he'd fried them... (he added grated onion and plenty of salt and pepper to the recipe). He *always* made sure we grew potatoes at home in the vegetable garden.
    It's lovely to discover the things in Ukraine, that connect the dots and make sense of pieces of my Dad's past... Щиро дякую, Анна!
    Now we have lots of other recipes to try out too. I hope you and Sasha enjoyed your tasty meal, Sasha's huge smile tells me you probably both did!
    A festive hug for you 🎄🫂🫂🎄with the gift of love from the UK 💝

    Firstly, Anna's vest is _absolutely beautiful!_ - A work of art in dress. - The setting very-much evokes America's Thanksgiving Holiday in my mind.
    That clay-potted stew, covered with bread topping, had me almost salivating! - _That_ I certainly would love to try.
    I've seen a few videos of Ukrainian village-food from another You-Tuber (Taya Ukraine), and most of the dishes appear vary appetizing! (Except pickled water melon! ~ If I recall.)
    Among other things, now I would love to visit Ukraine (which before the WAR, on countries to visit, it would have not even been on my long-list, of places to travel would-have wished.
    Now surely, I would love opportunity to try some of its traditional dishes! But above all, the _Ukrainian-people to visit._
    Best Regards to Teacher Anna, and her production-producer associate, Sasha! 🔵❄🟡

    The Lyrics to the Hymn, Titled; It Is Well With My Soul are:
    When peace like a river attendeth my way
    When sorrows like sea billows roll
    Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
    It is well, it is well with my soul
    It is well (it is well)
    With my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul
    Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come
    Let this blest assurance control
    That Christ (yes, He has) has regarded my helpless estate
    And has shed His own blood for my soul
    It is well (it is well)
    With my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul
    My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought (a thought)
    My sin, not in part, but the whole (every bit, every bit, all of it)
    Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more (yes!)
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
    It is well (it is well)
    With my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul
    Sing it as well
    It is well (it is well)
    With my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul
    And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight
    The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
    The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend
    Even so, it is well with my soul!
    It is well (it is well)
    With my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul
    Sing up to Jesus, it is well!
    It is well (it is well)
    With my soul (with my soul)
    It is well, it is well with my soul
    Anna, we, the International Community...Admire you...we Honor you...we Love you...and Respect you...for Baring your Soul and Sharing of your Divine Gifts of Linguistics and your PROFOUND LOVE for Teaching and for your "Elegant and Eloquent Messages"...that Continue to "Light The World"!

    It is said that the Light we see from the Polar Star...The North Star...has taken 680-Years for us to see it...tonight!
    When the Light of the North Star that we see...tonight...left the North Star 680-Years ago, the Beautiful Country of Ukraine...was, already, MANY Centuries Old!
    The Light that leaves the North Star...this Christmas Day in 2022...will Arrive on Earth...680-years from today...and it will Illuminate the World and TESTIFY to the HORRIBLE Conflict and War that is RAGING on the Sacred Soil of the Beautiful Country of Ukraine...that UKRAINE PREVAILED...against the Russian-Invasion in the early 21st Century...and 680-Years from TODAY, Christmas 2022...will be Christmas Day, 2702 (2022 + 680) and The Beautiful Country of Ukraine will be Preserved and "Shine in ALL her Glory" and be filled with Sacred Temples of the Most-High God that will "Dot the Land" and ALL Nations will Flow-Unto Ukraine to Fulfill the Sacred Destiny which God has In-Store for the Beautiful Country of Ukraine!
    Anna, you, too, have been "Preserved for a Purpose" and your Sacred Work shall unfold before you in the Hours, Days, Months and Years that lie-ahead and you shall Perform a MOST-Sacred Work on the Earth and you will be Preserved and Protected from the Powers of Evil and from Harm...until you have Finished your Work on the Earth!
    I sent, via E-Mail...(2) Digital Images...
    The "Sunset" was the Evening of 2022-12-23 as I was Driving...Listening to your VLOG (Video Log) - VLOG 252 - War In Ukraine - Walk In The Snow, Ukrainian Drinking Habits And Didukh with an Evening Temperature of 78°F (25.5C)...thinking of the Valiant Defenders of Freedom and Independence in the Trenches in the Beautiful Country of Ukraine...thinking of the Diligent and Stalwart Personnel Working SO Quickly...in SUCH COLD Temperatures to Restore Electricity, Heat, Gas Utility Services to your Beautiful People...thinking of your MOST-Profound Work, your Divine Role as the "Elegant and Lovely Ambassador of Culture and History of the Beautiful Country of Ukraine" and the Endearing Messages that you have Shared and Continue to Share with the International Community as a MOST-Precious Daughter of God and a Woman of Faith!
    Anna, it is a "Sunset" that I will "remember...for Time and ALL Eternity" and I "Wished" ALL the Beautiful and Precious Ukrainian People could have been there to Experience the Calm, the Peacefulness, the Stillness, the Warmth and the Beautiful Sunset!
    The 2nd Digital Image is of Christmas Day...the "View" from my "Backyard"...Yes, "Christmas in Southern California"...the Grass is Green and the Snow is 1-Mile (1.6 km) from my Home!
    2022-12-21 was the "Winter Solstice" (the Beginning of Winter and the Shortest-Daylight Day of the Year)...and 86-Days from, today, will be the "Spring Solstice" and, though, the Cold and Dark Days of Winter lie-ahead...the "Promise" of Spring...will SOON be here, the Warmth of Spring Soil and Sun will bring the Buds and Blooms of the Flowers, the Sunflowers, the Wheat and the Trees of the Parks and the Forests and the Beautiful Blue Ukrainian Sky SHALL Reign over the Golden Fields of Freedom and Independence of the Blessed and Sacred Country of Ukraine!
    May the Blessings of our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ...
    ...and May the Blessings of Health, Peace, Love, Protection be upon you, your Beautiful Mother, your Community, your Students (both International and Ukrainian) and your Beautiful People and Sacred Country in this MOST-Sacred Season of Christmas...!
    Anna, Again, THANK YOU…for your “Leadership”...for your “Vision”...for your “Diligent-Efforts” to “Communicate to the World” that, though, “War-Rages” on a “Portion of the Sacred Soil of the Beautiful Country of Ukraine”...the “Nation of Ukraine is THRIVING AND PROSPERING”!
    May each “Blessing” you may stand in need-of…be Granted…and may you “Continue to Bless the Lives of Others in the International Community” through your “ABUNDANT GIFTS”...
    May the Blessings of the LOVE-Filled…Spirit of the Holidays…be upon you, your Beautiful Family, the Beautiful Country of Ukraine and upon the ENTIRE International Community…
    May the Spirit of our Father in Heaven…be upon each of us…his Children…and may we EACH Strive to Show Kindness…in ALL that we do…!
    …as each of us live…under the 'Watchful Eye of the Mysterious Hawk...Perched...High, Upon the Castle Tower"!
    "Anna From Ukraine"..."Merry Christmas"!
    With GREAT Confidence in You!

    We have had Christmas in Australia, beautiful warm sunny day, hot enough to go swimming, that is what our family did. The potatoes dish you showed is exactly the same as what my wife makes on a regular basis.
    Happy Christmas.

    Thank you for this video Anna!! I already like Borscht, but I would really like to try that traditional Ukrainian stew with the bread on top! Deruny and the dumplings with bacon also look great! Well, now I'm hungry. Time for more food!
    Peace, Freedom, Full Reparations, and all of Ukraine's Land for Ukraine! 💙💛 CA

    That was lovely Anna...and Sacha! I enjoyed the small interlude from all the terror and sadness the war has brought. I do make borscht but not so well as Ukrainians, I think! I also like gherkins and sauerkraut...but that's about my full capacity! I will try harder to embrace the flavour of Ukraine in 2023. Still praying! Slava Ukraine.

    Such a yummy video 🤤 I wish you a safe Christmas, I don't dare say "merry" at first, with the war still going on, but life should still prevail so I hope your Christmas, and for all Ukrainians, that it can still be as merry as possible. 💙💛 I'd love to eat that Borsch, it has a beautiful red colour and it looks sooo delicious. I absolutely love the idea of the piece of bread to cover the pot with the stew ! And those pickled vegetables yum yum 🤤 I looove that haha
    But honestly it all looks delicious and tasty!
    Good job Kurin restaurant! I have to remember this name :)
    I enjoy to discover a country, its people and its culture through its food and gastronomy. Food bring people together 🤗
