Ready to fly? not so much

Here we are three days before take-off and I have seven days of work to do!  Typical of my life (and procrastination).  So, I am going to Ukraine for 2 months on Tuesday.  My friend there has yet to find an apartment.  He's confident that he will find something suitable by my arrival on Wednesday.  I'm not worried there will be someplace to stay. 

Are you wondering about the title of my blog?  It's the first one of my travel blogs where I haven't incorporated the name of the country in the title.  I've been wracking my brain for weeks to come up with a good title.  This one came about in a conversation with my friend, Anna, who will be my language teacher while I am in Ukraine.  She wanted me to bring her a box of brownie mix.  I said "that's silly."  I'll show you how to make brownies from scratch.  She said, "OK, then I will teach you how to make borsch.".  It's as simple as that!
