Sometimes Sveta does things that makes no sense to me and yet they do make sense. Does that make sense?

Yesterday, Svetochka brought home four packs of Gingerbread Cookies….now understand that gingerbread cookies are the base for the pie crust of the pumpkin pies I make. But….a pack of gingerbread cookies will make three pies…

So since we do not eat the cookies for any reason other than pumpkin pies and the cookies are available everywhere. I have to shake my head and come to the conclusion that Sveta wants me to make twelve pumpkin pies in the future. Actually eleven, for one will be made very soon as in the present for New Years… 😉

The recipe that I use is this one below…

Simple – A Pumpkin Pie Recipe…

Yes, Svetochka has given me a big hint, that Pumpkin pies are on the New Year list of foods to make…

Love that girl, she is my sweetie!

Just some images of our life in Russia…

Svetochka has her camera back and is taking images constantly. She is now back to sneaking around and catching Boza and I and Moscow at doing their thing. She is a happy girl when her camera works and I would say that the best Christmas gift was to rebuild her Samsung Galaxy 4 Zoom…

No one is safe again from her camera… 😉

Boza knows when daddy cooks, good stuff too munch on is coming. For the holidays, I have rotisserie a Pheasant and a Cornish Game Hen. Boza and Svetochka gave their approval of these delicacies and Svetochka even got her Bear style Pumpkin Pie…

The big computer died…

Honey I blew up the computer, so lets have coffee…

We ran on our laptop for a week or so and then after I gathered up parts. Motherboard, CPU, RAM and other tidbits. I rebuilt the computer. Svetochka had to help me for the last several connections, I needed a navigator on the PDF manual for the last tiny front panel connections on the motherboard and we got it done, thanks to Sveta…

Yesterday, I finished the final check list on what I did and fired it up. I had my flash drive with Windows 7, 64bit and in a few minutes she came to life and in a few hours, ready for Svetochka to get back online with. Therefore, here I am today irritating the world with Russian stuff…

Better than new, the lifeline to the outside world….good or bad, however you want to see it…

Gotta walk the doggy…

I have just finished my twelfth Christmas in Russia…
I had Twelve Halloweens…
Twelve Thanksgivings…
Soon…
Twelve New Years…
Twelve Birthdays right after that…
Twelve Easters and so on and so on…

No not twelve days in Russia, not twelve weeks in Russia, not twelve months in Russia…

Going on twelve years in Russia….not quite twelve years officially, but I go by holidays, Svetochka tells me that I am wrong to look at it that way. I see her point from her world; Russians do not hardly acknowledge life events until they happen. But since I am American and getting old and grouchy…

I dance a jig as soon as I think of such things as time passages. Gotta dance while I still can… 😉

Looks like I will stay!

Fluorescent Bulbs Hit a Wall of Grouchy People in Russia…

With the exception of western based companies like Globus and such, the florescent light bulb that is so horrendous, both for finances and health is dying in Russia. Even Moscow has accepted incandescent bulbs as a necessity. I am very happy to see that happen…. Russian made incandescent light bulbs, just 10 to 20 rubles each, compared to 200 or so rubles for a florescent light bulb to screw into your lamp socket…

That is Russia for you and I love that part of Russia…

“One belt – one Road” is a terrible turbulent nightmare for Washington DC in the US. The ongoing successful enactment of the “One Belt – One Road” will not only lead to strengthening the unitary accomplishment of Eurasia, but also will batten down a secure access route for the European, Russian and Chinese markets. Simply leaving the outside looking in at the massive Eurasian (5.2 + billion people) stand alone market. This “One Belt – One Road” market will have around 65% of the worlds population and have access to around 75% of the worlds energy sources; all alone all by themselves. This is a very good reason for insurgence in Afghanistan (again) by the USA, with Syria as a lost cause, bigger fish have surfaced and fear of loss of world power by the west is looming…. This situation is an important point in the world right now, controlling what is “jump starting” the economic and assimilation of the logistical integration of Eurasia into viability, or as the Western Empire would desire, simply kill it and sleep better at night…

I have talked about many times the wind changing direction and power flowing to the east…

Starting with the Georgian war that ousted Sassy…

Russia: As The Winds Do Change! (Part 1)

http://windowstorussia.com/?s=wind+of+change

Search link above for many articles on this subject…. it started years ago and is now climbing rapidly to the apogee…

This issue is above and part of all that is happening. Power is shifting, hate is flowing and the supremacy of the dollar is at stake. Europe is part of this change and underneath all that is happening, Europe wants to be part of that change. It is necessary for Europe’s survival and you need to be watching what is happening in the Eastern world…

I am thankful that Russia has finally decided that east is the direction to go…
