It's a Ukrainian philosophy to do yourself and others good to balance out all the shit that happens that you can't control. It's deliberate.

Johnny, I agree with you 💯%! I just don't know how or when Russia will stop unless they run out of ammo or Ukraine hits them so badly that the Russian people revolt against Putin. I know Ukraine will prevail. I just hope it doesn't take much longer. Slava Ukraïni!

[@davidsf101]

I know these streets as I have been there myself. That restaurant in the Andrieovski (sorry about the spelling) area has amazing food and the prices are shockingly low for the quality. Man, I wish there was never a war there or that the war is over soon. Kyiv is such a beautiful city and it is so sad what is going on there. I am sure people that live there are exhausted, but they have no choice, either stay or become a refugee in other countries. I can't wait until this cruel and unjust war is over one day. We send love to Ukraine from California. Thank you for making this video and please stay safe, Johnny!

Churchill was told he should live where the bombs dropped. There was anger etc. Churchill did not live even in his country house (open to visitors now). Chartwell was kept going by staff. Kiev residents with children will have to move. My father was evacuated twice. I am visiting him now. He is 87. He said a few days ago there was no need as his area was relatively safe. I showed him SE6 and SE26 were hit. 87 bombs, not 1, in Bellingham. The Blitz spirit is romanticised rhetoric. No one in their right mind can survive nightly stress Johnny. I am listening to the waves. I pray for peace. Unfortunately land will have to be given up. Macron is right. But, of course, millions will be lost before that happens.

You're totally right when you say that the attempts of the russians to bomb and terrorize us will only make us hate them more and more.

That meat in jelly dish, Kholodets, is a fairly common dish around the world apparently. In Swedish it's called 'Aladåb' which comes from the french 'A la daube' meaning 'cooked in jelly'. It seems it's most common in Europe and Asia. It's called Aspic in English.

[@Clientchuk]

Yep, that kind of dish is a killer that is cooked in many different ways, sometimes addes with carrot and garlic. I prefer rabbit meat there, and mustard as an addition apart.

[@miric6224]

Hole-eh-detz is jellied meat. I’ve made it with pigs’ feet, boiled slowly to extract the jello. Skim during cooking. When cooking is finished, remove any meat,add it and add celery and allow to set. It’s like a kind of lunch meat. Eaten with vinegar. Scrape off any fat-lard that surfaced during cooling. It’s an acquired taste. And has strange feel in the mouth. If made properly it will becomes jellied. While cooking, it’s not fragrant. Baba Ma-roux-sha. Good for you for trying it. The dish served to you looked very fancy!

And I love it. I used to have it as a child.

[@shirleynelson1073]

It's easy to make gelatin chicken or gelatin pork. You just need some packets of unflavored gelatin powder, some hot water to dissolved the gelatin and cooked chicken or pork that's been chopped up and a mold to form the gelatin with a cost of just maybe $2 for the gelatin and $8 for the chicken or pork and this minced meat gelatin would last about 5 days so having a slice with a salad each day would maybe cost $3 to $4 per day where the salad is mixed baby greens topped with a couple fresh raspberries, blueberries and blackberries with no dressing or a tablespoon of dressing. I had lunch special at the Irish pub which was only $6.99 for the meal which for me was clam chowder with a garden salad topped with blue cheese dressing and for the daughter a hamburger meal with coleslaw and potato wedges. There are definitely inexpensive meals at eateries in Miami which has millions of people living within the Miami-Dade County area. You can buy eggs with bacon at Burger King by having them make a platter from scratch with just egg and bacon added for about $2. If you add 3 French toast sticks that would be a little more than $1 extra making the breakfast under $4 for eggs, bacon and French toast.
