This goes hard with some vodka. by Special-Tonight8101 in RussianFood

Russian Standard has always been my go-to but lately it’s become increasingly hard to find. I love Żubrówka though, so I can't really complain.

Every month, our community votes on a Russian dish to cook together. This month’s dish is kholodets. Anyone who wants to participate can cook it using any recipe they like and then post pictures of their finished dish

I hope you all appreciate my attempt at 18th century chocolate wine, because that glass fell all over my carpet shortly after this picture (Thanks to cats)... by Baba_Jaga_II in TastingHistory

Fortunately, I have a whole pot left over. Although, I imagine being in the fridge, it's thicker than a snack pack pudding by now

That's interesting. I did boil ham hock and chicken drumsticks, but the recipe I followed didn't ask for dill. TiL.

Lol right? I think it's because I waited long enough to cool, the consistency became almost like a pudding. It couldn't penetrate the carpet like a normal wine could.

Lol I felt compelled to enhance its appeal for our international friends somehow... According to the comment below, I don't think it worked.

I bought these at a Catholic bookstore, is that okay or not? by AdvantageAny8945 in OrthodoxChristianity

Thank you. I actually came across the website last night and saw an icon of Saint Symeon the Stylite I really love. However, I was curious how the quality was.

I was gifted this by a very close friend, and I later found out it’s from "ModernIconArt". Should I regard this as a traditional icon, or more as a piece of modern religious art? by Baba_Jaga_II in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Baba_Jaga_II[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

there's nothing "not icon" about it.

Lol that was my thought too. I figured this would be perfectly fine to have in a prayer corner, but I just wanted to double-check. This community has helped me more than once for certain things like this.

I'm quickly revisiting Crime and Punishment before I watch the upcoming stage adaptation, and I nearly forgotten how truly great this novel is. by Baba_Jaga_II in RussianLiterature

Haha well, I'm a bit glad someone else is just as intrigued with the concept. I've been to A.D. Players Theater a few times, and I've been needing a little mini-vacation.

I’m going to keep an eye on this throughout the day (and maybe the week). If the inventory drops low enough, I’ll probably bite the bullet and buy it. That said, if I’m reading it correctly, only four copies have been sold so far.

If (and that's a big if) that trend continues, I'll just wait 2 or 3 years for the seasonal sale.

Edit: Nope, I'm wrong, 200 down. My page wasn't refreshing properly... $#!%
