  1. OMG! You are making pizza?!! You know I am thinking of my Mom making her pizza- is this a coincidence or common in the Ukraine???

    Also, I love the onion-dome pictures.

    Is Igor the youngest boy in the family- looks like he's assisting you? He's a cutie!

    I will show these to my Mom tomorrow on my regular Saturday visit.

    love,
    S
