You are a good influence. Whenever I read your thankful entries I stop and think about things I'm thankful for.

Deepfreeze byzantine festival? What is that? Sounds fascinating.
What have you been making in your Instant Pot?

it's a street festival with 'freezer races' snow sculptures, ice sculptures, performers, some food trucks, I've posted photos from past years, it's just a lot fun and a good reason to go out in the cold, lol

But why 'byzantine'?

I have no clue really, lol, I am guessing from the large Ukrainian community here maybe? I dunno, lol,

Interesting! I googled a bit but could find nothing that mentioned why it's called 'Byzantine'. The reason I ask is because one of Istanbul's first names as a city was Byzantium. :) Also, Byzantine is connected with the Eastern Orthodox church so yes, I think you're right, it's the connection to the Eastern European community. It looks fun!!
