Well I survived Ukrainian Christmas. I convinced myself before going that I would try every dish that was made. There was nothing that I really didn’t like except the sour kraut perogies. It was a good thing I didn’t eat all day as there was so much food. My favorite dish was some appetizer thing that was dough filled with mushrooms and onions or something. It had some Ukrainian name that I can’t remember.

After supper we played some card games. I was mentioning my previous victories in Hearts so we played that again first. I was a little worried my ego would get the best of me but I pulled out another win and even got power (or shoot the moon whatever you call it) once. I think I’m unstoppable at Hearts. After that we played 2 games of 31 which some how Devin won both. And for our last game we played a quick game of texas holdem poker. I was really lucky at this and won almost every hand. I lucked out on the last hand with an ace and 2 in the pocket and on the flop I had a full house with aces over 2′s. All in baby.

Dev and I made some pizza today and shared it with Hemant. We usually think it’s pretty hot but I don’t think he was phased by it at all. After pizza I finally got to see the new bond movie, Casino Royale. I’ve been hounding Brent to go but finally gave up on it. I figured I should check out the new Galaxy theaters at least once while I was back. Casino Royale was pretty awesome. I agree that it’s one of the best Bond movies in a long time.
