I'm happy you all made some good memories! That place looks like paradise—a place I could disappear into and never come back. The landscape reminds me a lot of Colorado, here in the US (only more picturesque). The cabbage rolls look similar to something my mom makes but she served them with sauerkraut. Let's hope the summit goes well this week and this war finally comes to an end and in the proper way for Ukraine.

Wonderful observation! )) We use fresh cabbage or sauerkraut for cabbage rolls, depending on the season. I hope I can recommend this place for you to stay one day. I'd love it!
Ah, so having cabbage rolls with sauerkraut is typical in Ukraine? I always wondered why our family had them that way. So many of our ancestral traditions were lost when our family members came to America. I know the Germans serve them with tomato sauce, some Russians eat them that way too.
We eat cabbage rolls with cracklings or sour cream, or mix of sour cream and tomato. I am amazed how our traditions still alive in memories (and not only) of descendants of Ukrainians. Our roots are strong! )))
Thank you so much for your comments. They are always a light for my blog ❤️
I imagine they're very good with cracklings and sour cream! We had no idea this was even a Ukrainian culinary combination until this post you wrote. The roots are strong! Another detail of our family mysteries have been uncovered. : ) You're welcome @zirochka. I'm always happy when I see you've posted (and I always send a link to your blogs to my Mom in Ohio). Have a good week.
