![Some people have Mardi Gras, others have Carnavale. Russia has Maslenitsa, also known as Pancake Week. Originally a pagan festival celebrating the end of winter, today's Maslenitsa is a time of [over] indulgence before the start of Lent, and a celebration of the end of winter. The pancakes (blini in Russian), which are more like crêpes, symbolize the sun. Let's hope they'll be an early end to winter this year. <br />

The samovar with the teapot on top is done in traditional Russian style known as Khokhlama.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Food/i-gfD3HHR/0/0b648b4a/Ti/IMG_4724%28New%29-6%20%28Frame%20-2%29-Ti.jpg)
![Salads as many of us know them are relatively new in Russia. Caesar & Greek salads are now on every menu though they're often overflowing with peppers & stale-prepackaged croutons. Some, such as this, go beyond the usual. This baked feta with greens, sun dried tomatoes, sprouts [hope they weren't from Germany], & pomegranate seeds in a pomegranate dressing was spot-on and delicious.
