8 reasons why I am a failure at making Ukrainian dumplings

1. I am currently on the wrong side of the Prime Meridian, as my brother says.
2. I tried making vareneky for the first time, and I used too much dough.
3. I am not Ukrainian.
4. When I made said vareneky, I didn't have any sour cream to help with the taste.
5. When I made plemeny, the meat became embedded in the dough.
6. The dough is really sticky.
7. I need more practice.
8. Actually, I need to watch a Ukrainian do it first.

Let's hope that when I try to make borsch (soup), it turns out well. I don't think there's much I can do to botch the soup called borsch. :)
