Woo-hoo, I caught up in time to say
Happy Birthday vw, most magnificent of bugs!
OK, Bitches, what's a good introduction to a Russian restaurant?
Things I like: ketleti, pelmeni, piroshki. I don't like cold thin borscht, and hot hearty borscht would not be pleasant in the summertime, but ymmv. Latkes are always good, and blinis with caviar would probably be a good summery thing. Um, there's a fish marinated in tomato dish that is quite nice but I don't know the name of.
Honestly, it's a heavy cuisine and might be a bit tough to take in the heat. A little caviar, some ice cold vodka, Strawberries Romanov sound nice for July.
Russian black bread can be very good. There was a Russian place in Chicago - near the Palmer House - that had a yummy version.
DH and I were driving somewhere this morning and we saw a car with the license plate that said, "ELF"--DH said, "Boyfriend of yours?" I said, "No, Silly. The elves are gay."
This particular Russian restaurant is of the weird, never-open,possibly a front for the Russian mafia variety. So though I've gone out for it twice this month, I still haven't had Russian food.
There are a few more places in town we could go, but for today we ended up with hummus. And, yes, if Tony Soprano hadn't taught me never to fuck with the Russians, I'd have attacked the place with it, too.
Birthday Happies, vw!

Every straight woman should have at least one gay boyfriend: Who else can we go to Barbara Streisand movies with? And it's not like we have to stop seeing our straight boyfriends or give up DHs for them.
"Closer" is playing right now and I'm getting a little hot.
"Closer" = Sex Music. I have a playlist if you're interested Aimee.
signed, has sadly never gotten to use the Sex Music for its divine purpose....

We had one of those that my restaurant-reviewer friend kept trying to take a group to. It seems to be gone for good now but sounded like it would have been a fun, if odd and a little dangerous, time.
Oh. My. God. Bless Vornado. My fans are here. I assembled one and am blissed in a wash of vaguely temperate air. Sigh.... Happy.

Bless the vidders, for they add smut to our lives.

And the elves, for they are just very pretty.
