  • Traditional dumplings - mantee. (Ulan-Ude, Buryatia)
  • Table set for brunch at a restaurant in Heihe, China where you boil your own food in the pot provided.
  • A classic Russian dish - Pozharski cutlet with grilled potatoes & red pepper. The Pozharsi cutlet dates from the mid-1800's & consists of ground chicken covered in bread cubes & fried. Not exactly low cal, but delicious.
  • Dinner near Lake Baikal in Buryatia. The fish known as "Omul" is endemic to Baikal, the world's oldest & deepest lake.
  • Antipasto salad.
  • Beef isn't very good here, so if you want something chewable, pot roast it is. I'm not a pot roast lover, but Rustem likes it - says it reminds him of kindergarten food - exactly why I dislike it. I'm a carnivore, however, so do make the occasional pot roast. Here's one about to go into the oven. Back to the States next month where my diet will consist of steak, steak & more steak.
  • Happy Thanksgiving! (Moscow, 1992)<br /> <br /> I'd just spent my 1st year here & was determined to do a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. The truth is, there was little food in Moscow in those days, but I'd forewarned an Irish supermarket client about the forthcoming holiday & he special ordered some turkeys - it was even a Butterball. This one may look big because it's on a small plate. In fact, it weighed less than 5 kilos (about 11 lbs) & cost $100!<br /> <br /> I've since done Thanksgiving a couple of times here, but it's not quite the same. We always have to move it to Saturday because of work, it's difficult to get the ingredients for all the fixins', & somehow the concept of thankfulness is sorely lacking.
