Thanks to everybody that turned out to Ukranian Xmas. Extra thanks to Evan and miniMik for putting up with the evening. $315 was pledged to the Food Bank (some people gave on their own) and $95 was pledged to the SPCA. (As all of you probably know, Jake Cat was an SPCA orphan and probably the best investment of our lives. Except, perhaps, for the mechanical troubles that he had a few years back…)

In review, it was a full-on twelve something course meal featuring lots of traditional Ukranian dishes which I can’t spell. (The dishes are from Blondie’s side of the family, and she can’t spell ‘em either.) There’s a big focus on grains (thats the tradition part, methinks), followed by butter, cream, onions, garlic… Good healthy food. Didn’t think to take pictures though.

It was great having everybody huddled upstairs, eating, drinking, talking and watching the game against Calgary (what a thriller)!

Thanks again to everybody that came!
