May GOD comfort their hearts and souls at all times. Brazil cheers a lot for you. I've been to Ireland and the wife of a friend there is Ukrainian and makes wonderful recipes too. Gratitude.

As a child, I lived in the village and ate millet porridge cooked in a wood-burning oven. It was fantastically delicious. And such porridge in a pumpkin is probably the food of the gods! Katya and her baby, I hope, are fine.
