I give it a couple of hours of solid attention and then it&#8217;s time to break for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>I remember my father saying that when traveling it&#8217;s often best to simply eat in the restaurant of the hotel where you&#8217;re staying. In this case that&#8217;s perfect (a) to save time and (b) because it&#8217;s one of the best restaurants in town.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, along with the refined European menu and fine wine list there is also a selection of typical Ukrainian dishes. (Traditional food, but impeccably refined in the execution.) From the menu of traditional dishes I choose:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lviv.treffle.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/chisnau_borshch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-36 alignleft\" title=\"but more refined than you see here\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lviv.treffle.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/chisnau_borshch-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>varenyky (think mushroom gnocchi ravioli)<\/li>\n<li>borshch &#8212; absolutely delicious with Garlic, pickled lard (no really: thinly sliced and with the soup it&#8217;s excellent) and puffy bread<\/li>\n<li>a rustic cottage cheese dessert (think crustless cheesecake but less sweet, with drizzle of jam)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If I&#8217;d had a meat course I&#8217;d have been really overstuffed. It was all delicious. Sadly, no local beer so I order a Czech pilsener with that. I may be mistaken but somehow it doesn&#8217;t seem like this food calls for wine.<\/p>\n<p>Yum! And then it&#8217;s back to work putting out fires. I also email Shockolad to see if they want the recordings for anything, and get a nice answer back that yes they do&#8230; So I send them a URL to the uploaded files as well as the MP3s. So, with some tactical planning done and some key questions assigned to others for overnight answer, I set the alarm, get into the soft soft bed, and drift off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I left it as long as I could, but work time had to come.
