Nonna Makes Borscht


The stew like soup, Borscht can be found all over the world. Originating in Ukraine It's regularly found it's way to my table having either being cooked by my Ukrainian Grandfather and now after he has passed away, his wife, my Italian Grandmother.

I call her Nonna.

The dish has many different variations. I enjoy all the ones she makes. If you have a chunk of black bread to hand.. even better.

Paving The Way

Did you know Polystyrene was discovered in 1839?

I quite fancy egg chips and beans with a cup of tea but at what price..?

At the risk of sounding like a hippy (after all I was brought up by them) Polystyrene does not biodegrade.. I have known this a while but every day I watch my kid grow I wonder what I have done to pave his way.. What kind of world will he grow into.

Sad as it seems I do look at the packaging provided before I order food to go and this does dictate to me whether I'll eat at one place over another. Maybe my Son will get to see these foibles and understand early on that although the choice is limited, I try to make the right one and am not just plodding along automatically without a care in the world. Without a care for the world.
