Boo!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Halloween is upon us!  There is nothing I love more than the chilly fall weather, cozy sweaters, and children in costumes.  Any other time of year I could do without children.  They're loud and smelly and gross.  Children in Halloween costumes, though, are really freaking cute.

I remember as a kid having some of the greatest costumes.  My mom is the coolest and always made me amazing ones, even taking into account that I would have to wear a big puffy winter coat or snow suit over/under it.  My favourite costume was a big, fun-fur black cat.

Gobble Gobble (Let's make perogies!)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope you are all using this day off to do useful things like watch Lost on Netflix, lie around, and drink tea.  Oh, and cram your face full of left over homemade perogies and cabbage rolls!

This year, instead of making a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, we went for something a bit different and a bit more Ukrainian.  My grandfather on my mom's side was Ukrainian and while we don't partake in a whole lot of Ukrainian culture, we do like to eat perogies and cabbage rolls.  I'm pretty sure these are the two most delicious foods in the world.

I encourage everyone to make their own perogies.  I know it is easy to just go to the grocery store and buy a bag of 99 cent no name perogies, but, guys, don't.  Seriously.  I'm not going to lie, these take for-freaking-ever to make.  They do.  But they are SO DELICIOUS.  And really easy!  It's a bit intimidating at first, but to help to get over that, I am going to help!
