I like Indian food, so I can make a mental connection to that instead of cringing.<BR/><BR/>Blessed be!CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12799282.post-1119712522494381802005-06-25T11:15:00.000-04:002005-06-25T11:15:00.000-04:00We sure do, though hers is not nearly as diluted a...We sure do, though hers is not nearly as diluted as mine. (A native Siberian grandmother sneaked in, though, to give her slightly almond-shaped eyes and hair that would look Asian if she let it grow.) My Russian blood may just be the reason we're together, because when we first met, she was impressed that I could read Cyrillic at all.<BR/><BR/>L'Ailee does make borscht when she's feeling domestic, which isn't often. She makes it in winter or when she has a craving. She approaches it the way I do chili--there are a few basic ingredients it always needs, but virtually anything you've got in the house can be thrown in. Cream does not belong in it, according to her. But there are no arguments because her version of borscht is a lot like the one I grew up with and neither of us particularly like creamy soups. Sour cream belongs on top of it. She thinks sour cream belongs on top of virtually everything, including *cringes* Thai or Chinese takeout if it's too spicy.<BR/><BR/>Blessed be!CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.com
