I can vouch for this… But upon biting into it, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was hot, flavorful, and more fresh-tasting than a typical Big Mac. At McDonald’s locations in the US, I enjoy the fries, but I usually find the burgers to be a bit tasteless. The Russian Big Mac seemed […]
I mowed completely Nikolai’s home and rebuilt the old screw on shutters into more or less permanent swinging shutters for the front two windows.

Remember that winters are long and hard and the ground is frozen, so digging holes is limited to a short time period… Svetochka and I are going to sit back […]
