Month: November 2016

It has got me worried a little bit. Do not want to get snowed in, in Moscow and not see the Tiny Russian Village for awhile. Last year I got back at the first of December, but as I have said before, “This year winter is going to be rough!”

This winter issue is what makes Russia so formidable against countries in the past, trying to invade! I have said many times that in Russia winter rules and the rest of the seasons are just fleeting thoughts. It has snowed three days straight and once again is -5 this morning…

Boza had to walk at 4 a.m. and I had 3.5 mmol/l blood sugar, so I ate a mandarin as I walked him. It was good and Boza did his doggy duties and I got some fresh air to boot…

Now I am writing a post on this blog and worrying about the time frames that are available to us to get back to the security, peace, quiet and healthiness of the Tiny Russian Village…

* * * * * * * * * *

“4 is the Floor!” That is the rule I live by being diabetic and when I get restless in bed as I am sleeping, I get up no matter what. I check my blood sugar when I get up, even if still asleep almost 😉 and check it no matter what. I have to know what I am dealing with to start the day off correctly…

Therefore, I sit and write this post and am drinking a cup of coffee and eating a wonderful bowl of tvorog and or cottage cheese in the western world. I salt and pepper it and enjoy the distinct flavors of the best cottage cheese I have ever eating in my life and I grew up on a farm in America. We had fresh raw cottage cheese, but there is something about Russian cottage cheese that is just so good…

I think it is mainly the fact that almost all cottage cheese is still in the raw state and has not been ruined by processing. You can buy stuff from the stores, but nothing beats cottage cheese (tvorog) off the back of a truck. Or from a vending machine, such as this….Many machines sell cottage cheese also! (Besides just look around and that milk truck will be sitting there!)

This is how to buy milk and such in the big city of Moscow…

* * * * * * * * * *

Therefore, back to my original thoughts…

We need to get to the huge market, buy winter stock of food. We have plenty of beets, potatoes, apples, carrots and many other vegetables in the village already. Thanks to a wonderful garden…

It is time to finish up in Moscow and get back to the Tiny Russian Village. The window of opportunity to get there is getting smaller and I do not want to miss that Window to Russia…

It was a simple thing…

Yesterday I watched some mothers and fathers in the playground area, they were swinging their kids with one hand and in the other hand was a smartphone and I could see the Russian equivalent to Facebook on the screens, VKontakte…

Then I noticed kids doing the same and that made me focus on the issue at hand. Facebook and Facebook like sites are simply bad. Thus, it is time to leave them and look at life as it really is…

Two weeks ago I watched a guy walk straight into a rose bush. Yes, he was staring at his smartphone and never saw the bush as he walked off the sidewalk and right smack into it. It was funny and he was not hurt, but he could have been and that would not have been funny…

Last time Facebook deleted my account! This time after messing with it and watching the stupidity being played out, by the Sock Monkey Brigade. I decided that I would leave it forever and never look back…

Oh Well!

I looked and studied Trump (Republican,) Clinton (Democrat,) Johnson (Libertarian,) Stein (Green) and McMullin (Independent.)

What a mess and no one worth voting for, then I looked at it; at who just might either send the country into a tissy and either possibly cure what ails it or rip the country apart…

Hillary has trust issues and simply lies and lies and lies!
Stein has no chance…
McMullin has no chance…
Johnson I know and would not vote for him…
Trump is going to be really bad or really good…

Therefore, I voted for Trump and really hope that he does change things for the better. If not then I expect it might be time for me to get ready for civil war in America. That is the way it is headed and the only one who will have a chance to change that is Trump. Then in the same token, he also can send the country to hell in a hand basket if everything he has said is a lie!

I almost voted for Stein….Yes I did! If it had been just between Clinton and Stein….Stein would have my vote in a heartbeat. I think she is a smart lady and has good intentions, but would never shake the country up and get it back on track…

Clinton should not even be in the running, but since she is and there seem to be a whole bunch of people voting for her, then that tells me why the country needs a serious shake down and or up if you prefer. If you vote for Hillary, you either are dead, deaf – dumb and blind, voting for a cause (as in she is a woman) and or have something that you want really bad to continue, as in handouts, politicker, graft, bribes, corrupted businesses and or you got a penny in that horse, which are given to many in America…

You vote for Hillary, you get Obama on steroids…

Johnson and McMullin not even considered…

This is the first time I voted for someone that I think is going to send us to hell, but when he does, it is the best way to get there. Trump will either be a dream come true and he says he will do it, or he will turncoat and further the agendas at play already and we might as well have elected Hillary…

I have no faith, for Obama promised and failed on all accounts in my book! This left me with either not voting, or voting for the last hope for change. The last time hope and change was used, we became a continuation of a warmongers and debtors wet dream…

So I voted for Trump and I know of many other expats in the world who have done the same…

* * * * * * * * * *

This below is what I think and if you don’t like what I think?

“Sorry Charlie! But we love you long time….Got a candy bar?”

The issue is; Too many people in America have their hand out and they do not want to upset their apple cart. I am sorry, but I do want your apple cart to be upset and I want most of you to get off your asses and become a productive citizen. That will not happen unless your apples are taken away. You will simply vote to keep that handout and you will also want to riot if that handout stops coming…

It will happen one of two ways…

The ones supporting the handouts will finally say, “Enough is enough!” or the ones getting the freebies, “cry and riot for their entitlements!” and or maybe both groups will simply come to the streets and the best ones win…

If Trump wins and he is truthful, then it will be a one sided affair, but if the freebies attack the givers? All bets are off! The givers are armed, I know, I was armed to the teeth in America…

Good or bad; something has to change. For this game of flirting with China and Russia in a arm wrestling match is stupid. We are doing it to distract and maybe just maybe, we need to face reality and quit trying to piss the Dragon and Bear off…

I put my hope this time on change. I never saw it with Obama and never voted for him. But this time, I sent my vote for Trump with a prayer on a wing of a dove…

We need that hope, for a better country and most of all a better safer world….I won’t get my hope up though…

The system is rigged to favor Hillary and we will see proof of that in the next few days, well, more proof, because it has already been proven…

I still say, “Hillary will win!” For our vote does not count…

Prove me wrong! (Please!)

It is 2 a.m. and Boza needed to go outside. He was having a few doggy issues and it is my job to deal with such issues. Therefore, I also had to take him out at 4 a.m. also and that cup of coffee is really spot on this morning…

It is snowing like crazy, -5 degrees and Moscow at 2 a.m. is the most wonderful world to behold. It is safe, quiet and beautiful…

Boza and I walk down the street and we have a bar that has lights of all colors around it. The trees are full of lights and the building is outlined with lights. This morning these lights stood out as the first real snow swirled around and got deeper by the second. Talk about looking like Christmas!

The wind is blowing and the snow is drifting and Boza and I left fast disappearing prints in the snow. It was so cool and wonderful…

* * * * * * * * * *

Sometime next week Boza and I will be back in the Tiny Russian Village. Last year we did not get back until the 1st of December. This year will be earlier and better to get more done at the Tiny Russian Village…

As last year… (http://windowstorussia.com/russian-village-for-winter.html)

Svetochka is getting that look on her face. She really does not want us to go, but she is also seeing how Boza and I are struggling in Moscow. Therefore, it is time to chin up and go back. We want our sweet-pea with us in the Tiny Russian Village though…

They are (Everyone young and old!) calling for a rough winter. Boza and I are looking forward to such a winter, though his eyesight issues will make winter more interesting…

When we get back to the village, I will finish a last stack of wood and start another one and keep adding to that one until the snow is too deep to do it anymore. Wood gathering is never ending in the Tiny Russian Village and is a simple fact, the difference between life and death…

* * * * * * * * * *

Well Svetochka gets up soon and I need to fix breakfast for her. I also have to see if Boza is doing okay and then maybe that second cup of coffee will appear and make the day even better…

Say what you want! Russia is self sufficient and becoming more so daily. Something as simple as salt is worth its weight in gold and silver…

ASTRAKHAN, November 1. /TASS/. The decree of the Russian government on banning salt (including table and denatured salt) from being imported to Russia from countries that have imposed sanctions against the country has come into force.

The decree affects 26 countries with salt imports of 424,300 tonnes as of August 2016, or 40.2% from the total volume of deliveries. At the same time, Russian producers promise to increase salt production….

I thank the Western Empire daily for the sanctions that they illegally imposed. It has given me an opportunity to watch a country develop as I watched America did when I was young…

It has been very interesting to watch and see the agriculture development first hand and I would say that in less than five years Russia will be supplying the world with food of all types, just as the USA has done in the past…

Except one issue, that the Western Empire did not count on!

Russia has a whole bunch more land and resources than the US has and as Russia goes back to her roots. She is growing everyday…

Hillary Clinton email and it explains in cold hard facts what we did to Libya and Syria. I am not happy about this…

Proof to much for you and you will still vote for her? Still think our government is wonderful? Time for a change and show the world we are number one and we care for the world and not just ourselves…

Everything is a lie and all the lies were used to destroy other countries…

You can find tons of proof and facts right here… https://wikileaks.org/

Veal Orloff:

Veal Prince Orloff, veal Prince Orlov, veal Orloff, or veal Orlov is a 19th-century dish of Russian cuisine, which was created by the French chef Urbain Dubois in the employ of Prince Orloff, former Russian ambassador to France. Wikipedia

So while French made, Russian loved…

This is a easy recipe of the French classic; a roasted veal; it is a rich and a delicious dish. Serve with plain vegetables such as boiled rice or potatoes and or even noodles…

Ingredients:

1 1/2 kilo (3 lb) piece boneless veal
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt and black pepper
2 onions, peeled
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
175 g (6 oz) canned mushrooms

For the cheese sauce:
25 g (1 oz) butter
40 g (1 1/2 oz) flour
150 ml (1/4 pint) hot milk
75 g (3 oz) Cheddar cheese

1. Tie the veal with string to ensure that it keeps its shape during cooking…

2. Heat 2 spoons of oil in a skillet, extra hot temp to sear with. Add the veal and brown quickly on all sides over high heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and pull from the heat…

3. Put meat into a casserole oven dish, cut one onion into quarters and add to the casserole and add the carrots, and enough water to cover the bottom of the pot. Cover with a lid and transfer to a fairly hot oven (200°C/400°F)…

4. Cook for 25 minutes, then lower heat to a moderate (180°C/350°F) and continue braising for 1 1/2 hours or until the juices of the meat run clear when the meat is pierced with a skewer…

5. Take the meat from the casserole dish and keep hot…

6. Meanwhile, melt some butter in a small pan. Chop the remaining onion very finely and add to the pan. Fry for 5 minutes or until golden. Add the mushrooms (if canned drain well first) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Season to taste, set aside and keep warm…

7. To prepare cheese sauce, melt the butter in a pan. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly…

8. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually add the milk, stirring vigorously. When all the milk is incorporated, return the pan to the heat and bring slowly to the boil, stirring constantly…

9. Lower the heat. Season to taste and add 3 oz of the grated cheese. Cook for a further 2 minutes or until the cheese melts into the sauce…

10. Cut the veal into four pieces, remove the string if used, as necessary. Divide the mushroom mixture equally between the plates and reshape the veal on each plate. Pour over the hot cheese sauce over everything on the plates and sprinkle with the remaining 25 g (1 oz) grated cheese…

11. Eat before it gets too cool… Yummy!
