Post #31 - January 13th, 2014, 9:39 amThanks to Cathy for all the delicious Russian appetizers! What a treat!
The desserts didn't last long once they arrived home, and the "youngsters" hit upon them.
Most delicious and a nice variety."If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home."

Post #32 - January 13th, 2014, 10:49 amThanks to Cathy and her peeps for hosting! I was happy to have seconds of almost everything. That mushroom dish and the pate and blintzes were really something, but that whole meal was fantastic.

Post #35 - January 14th, 2014, 10:40 amMeal:
- Chopped chicken livers
- Mushrooms in sour cream sauce
- Roasted beets grated with some garlic, chopped walnuts and mayonnaise to combine
- Cream puff shells filled with finely grated Swiss cheese, garlic and sour cream to combine
- Blinchiki* - blini filled with beef and caramelized onions, then pan fried. Americans would call them blintzes, Russians call them blinchiki.
- Pickled herring I made from salted herring bought at Shop & Save just before Christmas
- Bulgarian Shopska salad with finely grated feta cheese on top
*If it had been colder, it would have been pelmeni instead of blinchiki.
irisarbor brought carrots and dip.
My dessert contribution was a galette de rois or French variant of a King Cake. I should have made my own puff pastry and didn't. Filling leaked out of the one made from frozen puff pastry that may have been past its prime.
If I forgot something, someone send me a PM.
Regards,Cathy2

OK, I finally figured it out. Many of my photos were over 2 MB, too big. I'm sorry I'm not technically up to resizing photos. However, I have faithfully posted every photo under 2 MB!
