Regular pan doesn't work well for big family...

For at least 2 years now, I been using griddle. Pan, even the biggest pan just doesn't work for frying something for this many people. I do make gravy, or other things that needs to be cooked, not fried.


Here is what you would see in our kitchen almost everyday.

Homemade pancakes, Ukrainian style :)


 Fried fish for lunch! 



I really like my griddle, and it saves me a lot of time!

Life doesn't stop, when I don't blog

Our life is busy, house is noisy and I am never bored or have nothing to do :)

I am trying to get back to blogging, and just post few words and pictures  sometimes.
Like I already mentioned before, we have many relatives and friends who live in different countries, and they like to see pictures.

Here is few pictures from January.

Sergey, attending college, he is taking classes and trying to get degree in HVAC, he is gone from 5 am till 10 pm on most days. I feel like a single mom, and trying to getting use to this, because I know that it will take Sergey to finish his college at least 3 years. We can survive :)
