The foods they made you try.....and you liked!

bump- our new church held their first annual russian festival yesterday. busloads of russians came from philly, atlantic city, and who knows where else- not to mention the bazillion russians who live in my city. they had local vendors, russian dancers, a balalaika concert, and traditional russian foods that i've never tried (since i didn't marry a lady who can cook this stuff for me). nothing really impressed me, but i did like the blueberry veriniki. i had blini with some mystery meat in it. i also tried beef stroganoff (which i've had before) and fried dough stuffed with mashed potatoes. dima called it pierogi, but it's not what i know as pierogi. overall, the food was blander than i'm accustomed to; however, it was really fun to try.

p.s. i completely understood 2 full conversations in russian.

Whew! And we added Belarus just in time!

p.s. i completely understood 2 full conversations in russian.

"Menya zavut Dima. Oochin priyatna."

"Da, ona maya zhena - Amburger." (followed by sheepish "privet" with 1/2 curtsey, big smile and little wave from Amburger.)

And the other "conversation" was -

"blahaaaamamaaaaaahlam?"

(amburger wipes mayo and sour cream fusion from aviator lenses) "Da, oochin f'kusna!"

Not to disagree with your lovely dima, but being that I am polish and make pierogi on a fairly regular basis,(yes slim my apron is not camo unless you are in a flower garden hehehe), pierogi are traditionally boiled then fried slightly server with sour cream of course. Unless they are for dessert then you sprinkle them with confectioners sugar or cinnamon.

I'm not afraid to sport the beer gut whilst BBQ'n it up.

If you get a camo apron, you can stand around naked!
