Yummy and for the tummy!

Soup is a mainstay in Russia and therefore, there is every kind of soup possible made by Russians. If the ingredients are safe to eat, as in fresh, they can be made into a soup and in Russia soup is the main course of a meal in most cases. It does not matter if you make a soup from salt cucumbers or fish, soup is the best and most delightful Russian food available…

This is a soup that is easy to make

Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter or margarine…
2 whole carrots, diced and or sliced and or whatever…
6 cups chicken broth either real or powdered mix…
2 teaspoons fresh dill weed… (I like to cook fresh parsley also into the soup.)
2 teaspoons salt only if the broth is not salty enough… (Some instant cube broth is very salty!)
Pinch of ground black pepper and or your taste…
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced…
1 pound fresh and or canned mushrooms, sliced and diced and whatever…
1 cup real cream from milk…
1/4 cup all-purpose sifted flour…

Directions:
1. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Mix in carrots, and cook 5 minutes. Pour in broth. Season with fresh dill, salt?, pepper?, and mix in the potatoes, cover with a lid, and cook 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but firm still…

2. Melt the remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the mushrooms a few minutes, until piping hot. Stir into the soup (butter and mushrooms,) that is on very low heat… (Do not burn!)

3. In a small bowl, mix the cream and flour until smooth. Stir into the soup to thicken. Keep the saucepan on low heat and stir constantly for about 2 to 5 minutes. If it thickens quickly, then you heat less time. I also use an instant potato mix to thicken with and you can still add the cream to increase the richness…

This is the perfect soup for the whole family and if you desire you may add onion, garlic and even cheese to this soup, to make the perfect all around dinner at your household…

While issuing scary revelations about the alleged ‘Kremlin Troll Army’ operating online, ‘perpetuating a pro-Kremlin dialogue’, the US government’s international broadcaster RFE/RL somehow forgot to disclose it is prepared to spend as much as $15.4 million of taxpayers’ money on its own digital media forces to battle phantom Russia in the media – Read more: http://sputniknews.com/

Excuse me folks! You are reading this article on a blog of 5000 posts and mostly all about the U.S. and Russia and I do not get paid one damn cent to write good or bad about either side. So why the hell does anyone need to pay trolls to do anything?

I will tell you one thing, I need money just like the next guy, but no one will or would ever tell me what to write about and that includes Google. You do not see any ad-sense on the site do you. I have dealt in the past with Google trying to control what I post about; they say, remove that political content or lose the ads and your income…

So now Google wishes that I had ads and I am glad I do not. I will write about what I feel like and that is that…

Paid Trolls; now that just plain sucks, stupid governments…

It looks like the media has picked their two next candidates for U.S. president; a Clinton and a Bush…

I will say just one thing, “That is the stupidest thing I have heard or seen!” and seriously, the U.S. does stupid things daily now. A Bush or a Clinton, now that is progress for you… (~Sarc~)

It was interesting to watch America and the EU bled themselves to try and hurt Russia. I bet they don’t try that stupidity against China? Russia has deep pockets and extra non debt spending money. The western world has shallow pockets and nothing but debt spending money…

When you borrow from dad to go to McDonald’s, dad owns you and you are at his mercy. Hard to sanction dad, he makes the money…

“Where we get concerned with China is where it is not necessarily abiding by international norms and rules and is using its sheer size and muscle to force countries into subordinate positions, “Obama told town-hall event in Jamaica ahead of a Caribbean summit in Panama, where he hopes to reassert U.S. leadership in Latin America.

My reaction to such an ignorant statement was my mouth hanging open in shock. Seriously does Obama think that the world is stupid. I know Americans are dumb as a rock, but the rest of the world has much more intelligence than a rock and as a result, what he said has made him a laughing stock all over the world. Well except in America and you all think he is so cool…

Better stay a rock and sleep…

Gee it was so nice of America to thank Russia for helping some American citizens get out of Yemen, because America sure did not care. Russia has flown at least 6 times now pulling people of all countries out of Yemen…

Ending this mess; Poland is letting Ukraine have 100 million dollars to build its wall against Russia. Now this makes it a wall for the whole of the west against Russia. The west is paying for this new cold-war wall being built. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, huh?

and

Sweden with out an apology, has said that Russia did not have a sub sneaking around in the Baltic Sea (after they screamed bloody murder that Russia was sneaking around in the Baltic Sea;) it was a normal technical work type boat, that belonged to them evidently…

Yup, Warm and Fuzzy all Over…

Obama the Narcissist will fume over this, again…

NEW YORK, April 14. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been named the winner of US magazine Time 100 readers’ poll for this year’s most influential people.

The Russian leader garnered 6.95% of the votes. The Dalai Lama earned 1.7% of the votes, followed by Pope Francis (1.5%) and US President Barack Obama (1.4%).

Chinese President Xi Jinping, Syrian President Bashar Assad and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have not entered the top 20, getting just 0.9% of the votes.

US former First Lady and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who announced her presidential bid on Sunday, received 0.8% of the votes. Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko won 0.7% of the votes.

The South Korean girl-group 2NE1known as CL comes second in the ranking with 6.9% of the votes. Pop star Lady Gaga is number three with 2.6% of the votes.

The Time editors’ choice for the 100 most influential people in the world, spanning politics, entertainment, business, technology, science, religion and other fields will be unveiled on April 16. It may differ from the readers’ opinion.

According to Time magazine, more than 57% of the votes were cast in the United States, 5.54% in Canada and another 4.55% in the United Kingdom.

Time magazine began publishing its weekly issues in 1923. The ranking of the 100 Most Influential People in the World has been published since 1999.

In November 2014, the Russian leader for the second time in a row topped the annual ranking of the most influential people in the world published by another US magazine, Forbes.

 

I had a fit when Russia went along with sanctions against Iran and stopped the delivery of the S-300 missile defense systems. I had a fit when Russia never changed their stance on these systems and it was obvious that the west was full of crap and lies about everything…

Well Russia just made me proud…

The Russian president has repealed the ban prohibiting the delivery of S-300 missile air defense systems to Iran, according to the Kremlin’s press service. “[The presidential] decree lifts the ban on transit through Russian territory, including airlift, and the export from the Russian Federation to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and also the transfer to the Islamic Republic of Iran outside the territory of the Russian Federation, both by sea and by air, of air defense missile systems S-300,” says the information note accompanying the document, RIA Novosti reported.

Add this good news with the good news last week about Russia selling S-400 systems to China and the S-500 systems being installed all over Russia and we have a much safer Eastern world…

Russia is producing these systems at a furious pace and soon there will be an umbrella effect to stop air born danger…

I seriously think that Russia just may get ahead of the west on this game and play checkmate sooner than you think…

This morning I was sipping a good hot cup of coffee and doing some thinking. Simple thoughts about simple things, for thinking about complicated things, just makes life too hard at times…

Therefore, I am going to sip a coffee and think about life…

Sveta and I went to Leroy Merlin this weekend and picked up some vital tools for the yard in the village. Things that I have needed to get the place in better shape, such as a brush cutter and a chainsaw. I also picked up a all steel handled spade shovel, to allow me to turn the garden soil over, to plant a big garden this year. It seems that the yard in the village is the main priority for me this time…

We also found wooden windows that will fit the village home and I think that we need to make a trip this next weekend to pick up three of them. I will also replace the windows in the village home this summer…

I have a new camera (60X optical zoom) and the tripod is in the village, I have huge plans on staking out the Eagles that live near by and trying to get some seriously good images of their newborns and raising habits…

I think that this weekend has finally proved to me that I no longer can eat processed foods. I spent so much of my life eating a certain way and once in Russia, I have been changing that food style. I have quit sodas (diet or otherwise) completely, I do not eat frozen prepackaged food anymore, I stay away from fast food in general and I stay away from sugar as much as possible. This has been doing my body better, but this weekend we ate at the cafe in the mall and I am paying for it. I have broken the preservatives in food issue and when I eat food now laced with preservatives, I get sick. Just like my students that worked for me from other countries in my past experiences. I have discovered how bad additives in food are…

Sveta is staying in Moscow to spend more time with her mother and it looks like they will try to take a long trip to the Black Sea or Sochi and stay at a sanatorium. Russians just love their sanatoriums and the luxury entailed in them for a good life. My sanatorium is the village… 🙂

Sammy the Volga is also getting some work done this summer and I am going to do it. I have a fantastic parts store in the big village and they will order anything they do not have in stock for me and one big thing I will do, is to install a new exhaust system this summer. I also will do what I did not do last summer and fix some body parts. I have the putty and sandpaper. Just got to get another can of paint…

This year I am going to build a lean to and stack firewood. My plan is to live year around at the village and or at least I hope to. Most likely it will be about 9 months a year at the village. Sveta has many irons in the fire and sometimes I get in the way. I can stay at the village and if need be in half a day, be home to Moscow. She loves to visit the village, but living there is hard on her…

I have said many times, “I am a country Boy!” I can live with nothing and survive. It is the way it should be in life…

Where are the singers of truth? Are they all lost and buried? Did they all become GaGa’s and Bieber’s?

Oh, I marched to the battle of New Orleans
At the end of the early British war
The young land started growing
The young blood started flowing
But I ain’t marching anymore

For I’ve killed my share of Indians
In a thousand different fights
I was there at the Little Big Horn
I heard many men lying, I saw many more dying
But I ain’t marching anymore

It’s always the old to lead us to the war
It’s always the young to fall
Now look at all we’ve won with the saber and the gun
Tell me is it worth it all

For I stole California from the Mexican land
Fought in the bloody Civil War
Yes, I even killed my brothers
And so many others
But I ain’t marching anymore

For I marched to the battles of the German trench
In a war that was bound to end all wars
Oh, I must have killed a million men
And now they want me back again
But I ain’t marching anymore

It’s always the old to lead us to the war
It’s always the young to fall
Now look at all we’ve won with the saber and the gun
Tell me is it worth it all

For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky
Set off the mighty mushroom roar
When I saw the cities burning I knew that I was learning
That I ain’t marching anymore

Now the labor leader’s screamin’
When they close the missile plants
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore
Call it, Peace, or call it, Treason
Call it, Love, or call it, Reason
But I ain’t marching anymore
No, I ain’t marching anymore

(CNN)The Obama administration said on Wednesday it had opened a gender-neutral bathroom within the White House complex, a symbolic step for the President in order to protect the rights of members of the LGBT community in the workplace.

And this interesting tidbit of truth below…

A coalition of advocacy organizations are pushing the United States government to evacuate its citizens from Yemen as violence there claims more and more lives. The governments of several countries including Russia, India, Indonesia, and Algeria are among countries that have already evacuated their citizens among concerns that the conflict there will spin into a prolonged civil war. Even countries like Somalia and Pakistan which are grappling with prolonged violence at home have sent ships to rescue their citizens from Yemen.

“Unfortunately, the United States government and embassies abandoned Yemeni Americans,” the website, StuckinYemen.com reads. “The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC) are collecting information from this intake form in an attempt to help Yemeni Americans currently in Yemen.”

It says it all and if you are all warm and fuzzy about the links and news articles above. Then you are the problem and the issues will get only worse, not better…

The U.S. is nothing but one screaming cluster, running in a different direction every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, of every week, of every month, and of ever year; non stop!

The implosion will be huge…

Wow. The summary alone blew me away. I already thought this bloodless “take-over” was something for the history books, to be retold forever but this is one hell of a heroic deed. No wonder the west is pissed. It was caught with it’s pants down and rebuffed in a way (blood(y)less) that has not occurred, ever, in history by popular revolt. LOL. Crimea will not EVER go back to Ukraine. If there was doubt about this, now you know…

The European Parliament’s president, Martin Schulz, has warned Athens against deviating from the EU’s common policy towards Russia.

The Greek government, Schulz has said, is calling upon its European partners for solidarity.

“For our part we can demand solidarity and guarantees that solidarity should not be discontinued as a result of unilateral deviation from common action,”  Schulz said.

And again said, “This is what he (Tsipras) should be guided by in Moscow. The European Union expects this of him as the head of government of one of the EU member-countries.”

Fear is running rampant in the EU today as Greece meets with Russia at the Kremlin. A meeting that is shuddering the world, as it waits for the outcome. Is this the beginning of the end of the EU? For no matter what, the EU will have lost its unity of common policy…

For that to happen is naught but a simple thing, as simple and easy as Russia buying fruits again from Greece…

Oh my, how powerful the Russian sanctions against the EU have become!

Food is money and the EU found that out the hard way…

Now let me see… the US has worked overtime to ignite up into a war; Europe against Russia, Saudi Arabia against Yemen, Japan against China and today I read about North Korea against South Korea. It seems all of a sudden that North Korea has the actual ability to attack the U.S. with a Nuke (? no proof just U.S. says so!) and that means South Korea, who has been trying to get a better life with the North, needs tons more nukes to protect itself and they all come from the USA… War and fuzzy time for all…

Therefore while you watch, “Dancing with an Ass” on TV, the rest of the world, excluding a few wannabe US clones, is getting pissed at the shenanigans of the western lead U.S. destruction…

Now let me see; This is all because the U.S. is a dying Super Power and they do not want to go away quietly as they cease to exist…
