Today we were invited by our Ukrainian friends, Svitlana, Andrei and Masha to celebrate Maslenitsa.
Maslenitsa, also known as Butter Week or Pancake week, is a slavic version of Fat Tuesday in the US. You basically have to stuff yourself up before you begin to fast during the Great Lent. In Slavic mythology, Maslenitsa is also a celebration of the winter end and the arrival of spring.
Everything was so delicious, the crepes in particular!
I struggled a little bit with Andrei's push for me to shoot vodkas at 11 o'clock in the morning, but did all right in the end.
