Pea pods and math problems

How I wish I had paid more attention in math class!

Fresh peas are in the market now and I bought roughly 210 grams. 140 grams were pods and 70 grams were peas. I paid 20 uah per kilo which I think means the actual peas cost 33 uah per kilo. I can buy frozen peas (usually) in bulk for 24 uah a kilo - which, if my math is correct - means my time and money are better spent in the frozen food section of the grocery store (not to mention the temperature there is nicer now too!!)

Anyone want to proof the math?
Strawberries are about to reach their peak - twice the price over last year but cherries are actually CHEAPER than strawberries - though still more than last year. Don't know what i'll attempt to make or can this year - It is so hot and the days are very, very short with Saphira waking up so early. (I know the sentence doesn't sound logical - but the reality of my days prove it - I think the coffee factor - I don't start waking up until my second cup of coffee has something to do with it.)

A Return to the Blog

This blog first started after we arrived in Ukraine and set up house on the 14th storey of an apartment on the outskirts of Kiev. Since then...
