My MiL makes about six kinds of borscht, most of them tied to a season or holiday. Only *one* kind gets vooshka. There's no way to spell that right--her pronunciation has a sort of ghost "r" in there, "vrooshka". In any pronunciation, NOM.
Patron: That girl is a witch. Mal: Yeah, but she's our witch.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, you should make Little Ear Dumplings (I think that's what they're called. Starts with a V in Russian).
Oooh, those sound good! But possibly like more than I'm going to be willing to do after work tonight.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I want somebody to make me dumplings. All I've had today is a chai and a cheese quesadilla. I do think it's pancakes for supper night, though, because the game didn't get thawed in time.

Right as I was wondering if I could find some frozen dumpling that would do, I saw this on a recipe page: "There is no substitute for them." Hmph!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
a chai and a cheese quesadilla
I misread this as "a chai and cheese quesadilla" and thought wow, that is an odd flavor combination.

Okay, now I might have to swing by the Polish deli this afternoon.

Now I really really want all kinds of pastries and doughnuts.
You should tell them that! Well, think it really loudly, maybe.
Oh trust, I am thinking VERY loudly how much I dislike them.
Put up a tent outside in front of the book fountain! Although you may be peed on by a homeless person.
Seems that's a danger even inside the library, no?

Ha, it was weird enough just drinking the tea latte together with the quesadilla. I'm pretty sure I don't want the flavors any closer together than that.

I suspect the authenticity of paczki recipe has to do with where your grandmother grew up in Poland.

Because books.
I had delicious chicken quesadillas left over the other day, and my children ate them. Savages.
I could totally go for some steamed pork dumplings, too. Or the shrimp ones. Now I'm hungry.
