My MiL makes about six kinds of borscht, most of them tied to a season or holiday. Only *one* kind gets vooshka. There's no way to spell that right--her pronunciation has a sort of ghost "r" in there, "vrooshka". In any pronunciation, NOM.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, you should make Little Ear Dumplings (I think that's what they're called. Starts with a V in Russian).
Oooh, those sound good! But possibly like more than I'm going to be willing to do after work tonight.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I want somebody to make me dumplings. All I've had today is a chai and a cheese quesadilla. I do think it's pancakes for supper night, though, because the game didn't get thawed in time.

Right as I was wondering if I could find some frozen dumpling that would do, I saw this on a recipe page: "There is no substitute for them." Hmph!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
a chai and a cheese quesadilla
I misread this as "a chai and cheese quesadilla" and thought wow, that is an odd flavor combination.

Okay, now I might have to swing by the Polish deli this afternoon.

Now I really really want all kinds of pastries and doughnuts.
You should tell them that! Well, think it really loudly, maybe.
Oh trust, I am thinking VERY loudly how much I dislike them.
Put up a tent outside in front of the book fountain! Although you may be peed on by a homeless person.
Seems that's a danger even inside the library, no?

Ha, it was weird enough just drinking the tea latte together with the quesadilla. I'm pretty sure I don't want the flavors any closer together than that.

I suspect the authenticity of paczki recipe has to do with where your grandmother grew up in Poland.

Because books.
I had delicious chicken quesadillas left over the other day, and my children ate them. Savages.
I could totally go for some steamed pork dumplings, too. Or the shrimp ones. Now I'm hungry.
