Hands In The "Cookie" Jar!

Americans have an ongoing love affair with sugar. Our Ukrainian children have a similar affinity for salt. Two days ago, I caught one kid salting another's hand so they could lick it later. Salty snacks regularly disappear from our pantry.

And this morning, I pulled the gallon jug of dill pickles out of the frig, and unbeknownst to me, someone had neglected to tighten the lid. Pickles and vinegar juice spilled all over the kitchen floor. Luckily, most of it landed on the rubber mat that we use with our portable dishwasher to protect the wood floor.

Someone has been sneaking pickles!
