  • Aside from the political issues and technical issues, have you looked at what parts of Russia and the us would be joined? What would you do on either side?

  • No, but fascinating. I’d taste that, but damn the amount of time that went into that.

    No in this case it’s simpler. I never had opportunity to see how it was made as an adult.

    From a child’s perspective …… think like scrambled eggs, but hung in cheese cloth to drain. When put on the table, it’s the size and shape of a small loaf of bread. You cut in slices to serve and it’s the consistency of a soft cheese, maybe Monterrey jack.

Some involved attention to many tiny pieces, like nut rolls. Some involved scale, like so many small loaves of bread. And there were always pecan rolls. Then there were so many different treats, all home made, all by one person. And she would not only be ready on time but early enough to pack a sampling into a basket to take to church and be blessed

    It must have been weeks of effort by one person, gone in an hour
