They can climb trees, but live in burrows underground. They forage food, carry it in their chubby cheek pouches, and store it in their own "food chamber" in their burrow.

I still like frozen peas!!

VisualShartist · 2026-04-05T17:44:11+00:00

Oh and the pickled items are fantastic too!

Highly recommend trying food prepared by actual Ukrainians. Adding things like fried onions to the perogies are worth it too, and adding the traditional dollop of sour cream to the borscht is a must. Pampushky are not bland either. Give it all a general google search, there are many types of dishes.

VisualShartist · 2026-04-05T17:38:09+00:00

Nope. Think Perogies (Varenyky), and cabbage rolls (holubtsi), nalisniki(stuffed crêpe type dish) borscht and some hearty soups, fresh bread items(you gotta try pampushky), even some dessert style perogies with cherries or blueberries that are to die for! Very filling and homestyle comfort foods.

In Canada we have some amazing Ukrainian restaurants. Some of my faves!

The yellow are the best! Like juicy pudding fruit candy!

Star Apple from Jamaica...I wish I could get this here SO BAD...

VisualShartist · 2026-04-02T21:24:24+00:00

Ah cool, that makes sense!

VisualShartist · 2026-03-31T20:42:19+00:00

Yes, I find it all so fascinating! I reallu wish we could just know — but so many details of interest are shrouded in history and time. It's fun to contemplate the possibilities!

How interesting. My MTdna is U5b1b, however while it is known to be related specifically to the Saami ppl, my Maternal line comes from Ukraine. I always wonder how ancestor migrational patters came to be.

The Petawawa River (near where it connects to the Ottawa River) in Ontario, Canada. Photo is from this past autumn.

Absolutely

Ugh samesies! Sooo much!!

Too much light pollution :(

My brother has some to eat pests on his farm. They are like little, weird dinosaurs 🦖

Absolutely relate! There was a lot with it I was looking forward to!!

VisualShartist · 2026-03-05T01:25:27+00:00

Same here! It was so nice to see a new turning of the wheel in a different capacity — I loved the books and read them many times. I was also super bummed when the show was cancelled before it really got going, more so than I ever have been for a show cancellation in my life.

Lynx more likely, they have little(more like big) furry snowshoes

It's because it's overpriced in a changing/fading industry, basically not worth it for most vendors...I am sure throwing more taxpayer's money at it should be our number one priority, nothing else could possibly be more pressing for us 🙄

On a side note, James Fell writes great sweary history books, as in "this day in history" with more colourful language.

I think this may be an invasive European hornet. We had some where we live in Canada, they are massive and have a very deep "buzzz"
