Varenyky is a type of Ukrainian dumpling and their national dish, which is made in much the same way as Seris's ordinary dumplings, with a somewhat similar shape, except that cheese is added to the dough and of course the filling inside.

Jack tried several different fillings, potatoes, minced meat, sautéed cabbage, and swapped cabbage and potatoes for mushrooms and olives, which were eaten with yogurt, which seemed a bit cult but tasted good when he got used to it.

The more outrageous is the sour cherry filling, in order to balance the sourness, you have to add a lot of extra sugar, which is considered a standard sweet dumpling, which can make any dumpling lover in the country cut himself on the spot.

The method of meat skin jelly is much simpler, a whole pork leg is stewed for a whole day, the bones are removed, only the remaining part is torn up, and then put in the refrigerator to wait for curdling, Jack's Jiangnan hometown in his previous life also has a similar practice, the difference is that the pork is replaced with mutton, called mutton cake.

Kiev fried chicken is a little more complicated, it is a vegetable filling that is mashed with chicken breast, stirred with butter, and fried with flour and breadcrumbs, although the origin of this dish is somewhat controversial in Eastern European countries, but it is a very famous delicacy in both these former Soviet countries and other European countries.

The same is true of beetroot soup, which can be found in Russian-speaking countries, and even in the East, a variant of this dish can be seen - borscht.

Beetroot is the main ingredient with carrots, cabbage and chunks of soft and sticky beef stew, while in Ukraine, an extra spoonful of rich sour cream is a local flavor.

In addition, there is a cabbage cake, which is made with cabbage leaves and mixed with other vegetables, and then poured into tomato and red pepper sauce and stewed.

It was the third night after the case was over, and the first big dinner since Jack arrived in New York, where Hannah took the entire small Chongqing noodle restaurant and entertained all the analysts at the operations center, as well as Danny Reagan of the NYPD, and several of his colleagues.

Of course, there are also the rescued girls, who are the real protagonists, and under the arrangement of the federal bailiffs, these girls will soon have to go their separate ways after recovering physically.

Most of them don't even speak English, lack skills, and are suffering physically and mentally, and their lives are expected to be very difficult in the future.

It's not that no one chooses to return to their hometowns and relatives, but most of the girls still choose to stay in the United States and stay in this sad place.

The silver-haired Brooke pushes Hayley, who is still in a wheelchair, to appear in the restaurant, and the sisters solemnly express their gratitude to Jack and Hannah, but fortunately this girl is not a red pupil, otherwise the sense of sight is too strong.

"You're a good culinary master, I never knew there were so many delicacies in Ukraine." Dana Moger walked up to Jack with a glass of wine in her hand and said with a smile.

The reason why Laomei has become a food desert is largely due to the pot of food industrialization, and the further south the country is, the slower the pace of life, the richer the variety of food.

In a traditional agricultural region like Ukraine, the variety of cuisines is not as rich as that of Italy, but it is not much different.

"So, are you doing this to implicitly advise them to go back to their hometowns and relatives?"

Jack smiled dumbly, Dana Moge was obviously a little over-interpreted, what are you doing to persuade these girls to go back, although the world line has changed a lot, but the general direction has not changed much, and the ghost knows if Da Mao and Er Mao will really pinch up next year.

"It's just because they're the ones at the heart of the feast, and of course they choose their hometown cuisine, just like I do in Los Angeles where I often cook Italian food.

These girls are still young, the oldest is just 20 years old, and hopefully that previous experience, after healing into a scar, will also make them stronger, at least Hailey is such a fighter, she has never given up hope, has not given up, has not been? ”

Dana Monod nodded in agreement, adding, "We should also be glad that Stepan Teshako's gang didn't use drugs to control them, otherwise even so."

Jack sighed, and could only comfort himself in this way, the country's own statistics show that one in five women have been sexually assaulted to varying degrees, and compared to being forced to become an addict, these unbearable experiences can eventually fade away with the passage of time.

After all, being awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night is really nothing compared to enduring the torture of drugs.

After the case was over, Jack and Hannah got a small vacation, counting the total of five days on the weekend, and the two discussed it, feeling that New York was not fun, so it was better to look around.

The two were more interested in natural landscapes than bars and nights, and eventually settled on Niagara Falls, on the U.S.-Canada border.

Niagara Falls is a transnational waterfall, half of which belongs to the United States, on the border between the state of New York and the Canadian province of Ontario.

It's not too far to drive from New York, 400 miles takes about six or seven hours, but Jack didn't plan to go all at once, but chose to take a detour to camp at Finger Lake for two days.

Finger Lake is not a single lake, but a collective name for fourteen narrow lakes of different sizes, which are arranged vertically from north to south, resembling fingers, which is the origin of its name.

In Native American lore, these lakes were the mark left by the god when he blessed the land with his hands, but the god seemed to have a little more fingers.

Fourteen lakes eventually flow into Lake Ontario through various rivers, which is the birthplace of the water system, a pure land in the Great Lakes basin, and the most famous fruit wine and wine producing area, bringing together some of the best wineries in the United States.

That's right, that's where Jack came to eat, and after some research, he found a freshwater fish region in New York State that he could eat with confidence.

Seneca Lake is the largest and deepest cold-water lake in the Finger Lakes, with excellent water quality and the largest surviving trout population in the United States.

Although it also faces the invasion of Asian carp, for Jack, he is also reluctant to come to these prickly fellows, and he has been hungry for chopped pepper fish heads and crucian carp soup for a long time.

Nearby Seneca Lake State Park is a great place for hiking and biking, especially as the temperature rises and you don't need much clothing to protect you even at night, before the annoying mosquitoes appear and there aren't too many tourists.

After making sure that there weren't any small lakes called Crystal Lagoon nearby, and that there weren't any strange legends of masked weirdos, Jack set up his tent in a secluded glade.

He's out on a trip, not to fight monsters, and while Hannah often expresses regret that she hasn't gone through life and death crises like ogres with him, Jack suspects that the chick is simply jealous of Jiejie.

After setting up the tent, Jack built a bonfire with stones, and the surroundings immediately warmed up, and set up an alcohol stove around the campfire.

Although rainbow trout can be eaten raw like salmon, and he doesn't have to worry about parasites because of his healing skills, he prefers paper-grilled fish to sashimi.

Hannah's level of tenting is good, but in the cooking area, except for the barbecue that everyone seems to be good at, the Texans seem to be good at it, it is basically at the level of rice to open the mouth.

But she loved watching Jack cook, and when she was at home, she liked nothing more than to stand quietly (more often on Jack's back) and watch this handsome man busy in the kitchen.

In her opinion, Jack is the most attractive when he's busy in the kitchen, and of course it would be better if he only wore an apron
