Welcome to TABLE, a dinner club of sorts.
"Seattle Humane is a managed-intake shelter that cares for pets with treatable medical or behavioral issues. There are no limits placed on the pets in our care for space or time. Pets receive the medical care and behavior support they need to thrive in new homes.
Our Lifesaver Rescue Program saves pets from other shelters that lack space or resources to care for them. Because of this, these pets get a second chance. Each year, the Lifesaver Rescue Program goes on hundreds of rescue trips and saves the lives of thousands of pets at other shelters by transferring them to Seattle Humane.
Partnerships with other shelters are vital to the work we do. In order to make the most of the resources of humane organizations, we joined forces with the Pet Alliance of Washington (PAW). Compassionate representatives from communities all over the state serve on the PAW board. Together, we’re working to ensure that 90% of the pets who enter Washington shelters come out of them alive — and go into loving homes.
By working with partner shelters, we have steadily increased the number of lives saved in our region year after year. Creative problem solving led by our animal care team, and the support of volunteer foster families, have paved the way for success."
Vegetarian Borshch - Borshch is a Ukrainian beet broth, of which there are hundreds of varieties. Traditionally made with meat & bone broth, often including salo (cured pork belly). On Christmas Eve, Ukrainians eat a version of borshch that is pisnij (lean) and is completely vegan. This borshch is vegetarian. Sip with bread and top with dill and sour cream!
Varenyky - Ukrainian stuffed pasta - they can be stuffed with pretty much anything! Potatoes, cheese, meat, or fruit for a sweet desert. Most often, they're made with a mix of potato, cheese & onion - which is how they'll be prepared for you. The word varenyky comes from the word vary, meaning to boil - which is how they are cooked. They can be reheated this way, or fry them up with a little butter for a little crunch!
Mizeria - Every Ukrainian family I know has a version of mizeria (misery) - a simple salad you might make in a less fortunate time. Cucumbers, onions, sour cream, dill - were often on hand and the blend is delicious!
Kvashena Kapusta - Fermented (sour) cabbage - often made in the fall when the right (firmer) cabbage became available. Normally served with thinly sliced red onions and a slick of sunflower oil.
Fruit Varenyk - Not-too-sweet fruit dumpling—serve with sour cream and brown sugar. Delicious!
Paska - a Ukrainian bread that is traditionally made for Easter, the centerpiece of the Easter basket. Recipes will vary all over Ukraine - from savory to sweet.
Kholodets - aspic, a meat dish served in gelatin.
Nalysnyky - Ukrainian crepes, served both savory and sweet. I have fond memories of making them with my grandmother, we'd eat them with strawberries!
Verhuny - Ukrainian fried pastries with black cardamom, shaped as "angel wings."
Medivnychky - honey cookies. Med means honey in Ukrainian, and is often featured in baking and cooking. Where there are sunflowers, there are honey bees - and we're here for it!
