(1,805 posts)Having a Russian step-grandpa who fled Georgia in 1917 I was introduced (and loved) Russian food and my god, I was too young to participate, but the parties and singing were amazing. There was (and maybe still is) a large Russian contingent in L.A.
I remember going with him to LA (from OC - gag) to pick up handmade piroshkis from a tiny sweet lady and my god, the borscht was to die for. My dad continued making it long after Papa George's death. I don't eat meat now, but I would def make an exception if I could have a bowl of it tonight.
I have no idea what kind of vodka they drank, but it worked. And they all seemed to favor Camel cigs. The singing was so melancholy. He had a friend who tried to teach me Russian. That didn't work out too well, I'm afraid. I miss him dearly.
Hopefully, Mr. Snowden got some good times on his bday. Not that I give a shit about him. 30? I'd love to be there in ten years when he realizes what an asshole he was (is). No sympathy from me.
