Project RuSu 365
Not always so successful or interesting, & not always daily, though certainly a reflection of our daily lives - more like pick of the day. Our goal - to share our world and improve our skills. Thanks to all the members of the SmugMug Daily Community for your support and input. Feel free to leave feedback by clicking on 'Add Comment' below. We look forward to hearing your thoughts. The photo of the day will always be in first position. Thank you for looking. - Rustem Safronov & Susan Gilman a.k.a. RuSu. This gallery was started on October 26, 2010.

Red Lupine from our garden. (05.2012)
![At the supermarket. (6.1.2012)<br />
<br />
I don't know why, but a lot of supermarkets here are on two levels or on a basement level, hence the moving ramps. The carts have special wheels so they don't slide backwards [usually].](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Project-RuSu-365/i-PwWzzRd/0/72f6be31/Ti/P1090315F_edited-1%28New%20Frame%29-Ti.jpg)
![Making pelmeni. (5.25.2012)<br />
<br />
Originally from Siberia, pelmeni's the Russian equivalent of ravioli - a little meat-filled dumpling that's boiled & served with butter & sour cream. It's widely eaten throughout the country & sold frozen in the supermarkets. Some, like this woman, still make it from scratch.<br />
<br />
This shot somewhat epitomizes [to me] how our perceptions are deeply influenced by our cultural reference points. Rustem sees this as a typical village woman making a tasty Russian delicacy. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of pelmeni - something about the meat & spices combination doesn't appeal to me. That aside, when I look at this, all I can think of is yuck, as my eyes are drawn to those short, dirty fingernails engaged in food prep and, to a lesser extent, their disparity with the imitation pearls.<br />
