The Stomach of My Heart

It all started this morning with flour, yeast, water, and, possibly, a few other ingredients. It wasn't until this afternoon that I was told what would become of the large rising mass of wet dough. Pirozhki! Say it with me. Pih-rhoz-kee!

It's amazing how much food can be made with such simple and inexpensive ingredients. Most authentic Russian cuisine, from my limited experience, is made following this standard. I think I'm going to gain a few pounds this weekend. There are multiple plates stacked high of Pirozhki and my ability to exercise self control is limited with smell of fresh baked pastry permeating the air.

One thing is certain, if there's a Russian woman cooking in the kitchen, you will never go hungry. Thankfully, I'm married to one and feel like the luckiest man alive.

Ahhh...reminds me of the Lithuanian cooking my Grandma made when I was growing up. I am on land for this Christmas and I can't wait for all the dishes! 8)

Does Olga have any single friends? ;)

Oh, man, and don't they go awesome with the salsa you made next day and that knocked my socks off? I know, salsa is for chips - and for the game watching...but c'mon, a little Tex-Mex and a little Russian is a perfect combo in life! :)
