Ukrainian Club delivers promise of cabbage rolls
Many dances, weddings and holiday events have been held in the hall. I have a glorious picture of my grandmother decked out in an eerie Santa-like formal gown.
Up until very recently, Ukrainian children and youth have been paraded onto the stage to recite traditional poems and dances at various holidays (whether they wanted to or not). I speak from embarrassing personal experience. I remember one particular case that involved a bout of nerve inspired tunnel vision.
If you find it strange that I would be involved in the promotion of a place that held so much dread for me as a child - you're not the only one. The thing is, this place is fun. It's chill and comfortable like a 70's basement bar. Membership is $10 a year and the club is open every Thursday and Friday night (kitchen open Fridays only). No DNA tests for Ukrainian-ness required.
Join me this Friday evening as I purge my demons through dance courtesy of DJ Mr. Bad Brakes. Further catharsis available via hot steaming cabbage rolls and pierogies made by Pani Hanypsiak and her kitchen helpers. The kitchen opens at 6pm and closes around 10 pm, with music and bar festivities going on well past midnight.

Our Friend the Onion and Suburban Life
Almost nothing incites a turf war on Buffalo Rising like The City vs. The Burbs talk (unless, of course, the topic happens to be Classic Art vs. Modern, or Casino vs. No Casino, or anything to do with the Peace Bridge and trolls).
Therefore, we enjoyed this little parody from the Onion that pokes fun at the 'burbs, but at the same time takes a look at what might be a haughty attitude held by city dwellers in respect to the suburbs.

Grab Some Pine and Enjoy the City
Pity the bench. Home to pigeon feeders, transit riders, vagrants and failing athletes, the bench gets a bad rap. But as street furniture, it serves a useful purpose. The Toronto Star’s Christopher Hume recently gave city street benches some overdue love. - Today, 12:00am

Not many Ukrainians here in Vegas - but there was a thriving community in Honolulu, would you believe it!
Say HI to my home parish - St. John The Baptist on Elmlwood in Kenmore for me...the Perioghi Ladies make them for sale every week usually. Altho my aunt says they're getting older and fewer...best to call up and reserve some by phone I hear...I just got some by mail a few months ago - have a few left in the freezer...
I know how to make the Holubitsi (cabbage rolls) - both the meat and meatless (rice only) variety...but haven't in YEARS...
now if I could only get the courage to make my gramma's cheeze cakes and walnut cookies...but I get discouraged when I look at the recipie card, and flip it over and read "day two" in the instructions...
