It's a grass roots thing...

But my roots are in Ukraine and Russia and Romania. I have ignored that for so long, that my ancestry is half from eastern Europe. Well, it's hard to say I'm Irish and know all about eastern Europe I suppose. But I think I'm going to try and learn something new, not just have polish food. Meatballs and beats are fine and dandy, and in my fridge... but I need substance. And I feel bad being ignorant as fuck. That's my fault, not anyone else's. So yeah... This is a challenge I'm setting for myself.
Heritage, history, tradition...
I know my family left because of prejudice but... I need more to know and hold onto.
