Windows to Russia

A Russian Dressing You will find that while Russians are not big spicy eaters. They seem to have an affection for horseradish in sauces. Thirteen years ago I tried a Russian mustard and just about fried my mouth. It was pure horseradish, but I have grown use to it now. It can be found very […]

I stopped and scratched my head when I saw the sign… I took a picture and then came home to see if my brain had messed up the name of the Taco place? No, I was right, it is called Taco Tico in America and was born in Kentucky during the 70’s….I have eaten several […]

I grew up with cellars. In fact without a cellar, food such as fresh raw milk, vegetables, fruit and meats would never have been usable for more than one day many times. In the Midwest the heat during summer was terrible. Weeks and weeks of 100 F. + degree days made food spoil fast… The […]

Julian Assange isolated since May 2010… Do you care? One day maybe you can have the same treatment… Snowden? He has been in Russia officially since June 23, 2013… Manning? Well he is a girl now. That was his way out… At least Snowden has a good life in Russia. Does not have to become […]

I found it interesting to have a chart to teach English and call it Funny English and next door to the book store, is an art place for kids to learn to draw and paint. I love to look at the new items every month and am so thankful that places like this exist to […]

Like Victoria Nuland handing out cookies in Ukraine, now we have flags being handed out in Hong Kong… The cookies are at least food… This should answer who is behind the uprising! Maybe Nuddles is somewhere in Hong Kong handing out flags? WtR PS: Sorry that is Julie Eadeh…

As I walked 10,000 steps this morning. I found numerous election sites setting up. So I snapped an image of one as I set on a park bench… Sveta has gone to her mothers home across Moscow, for she is registered at her first flat she owned and still owns and in Russia you must […]

You do not want to hear this. I do not like saying it. I wish that we were going a different path for life in the world….that beautiful planet we live on. A planet that is very special and is a miracle among so many planets of rock and dust… China and Russia are getting […]
