Russian Mardi Gras

...is the pre-Lenten celebration that apparently lasts a full week (those party animals...our stamina is only a day *wink*)

Anyways, this weekend we partook in some of the celebration, by consuming Russian pancakes filled with sour cream and caviar. I confirmed that my little girl is an eccentric, at the ripe old age of 4: she wouldn't have any of the pancakes, but took many helpings of caviar. For me, the pancakes were the only way to consume those popping, salty sacs....it was much safer when they were hidden by pancake.

On a completely different note, my lady has learned how to fix my (running) toilet. :D

I'm sorry, but I have to side with Princess Anastasia on this one. Caviar and sour cream filled pancakes? Only the people who brought you the KGB could concoct such a sinister entree. I mean... what a waste of caviar. What a waste of a pancake. Fuck, what waste of sour cream!

This is just further evidence that there exists nothing which can rightly be called "cuisine" between the Danube River and the Caspian Sea. The only exceptions to that statement being: pierogis, vodka, caviar, and sometimes goulash (if they do it right).

You're right, sweetheart, swap blueberries for fish eggs and you've got a winner! My stepfather insists on Beluga caviar and smoked salmon hors d'oeuvres at Christmas, but we DO have tons of Champagne... you can come and get your salty intake with me next Christmas aye? ;)

Tell Noe she's a nutbar, OK? Good for fixing the bog on her own but mad as a box of frogs for eating the fish eggs LOL

Groucho:
Yeah, I was sorta surprised by the concoction myself. Generally my friend makes fabulous dishes....including some excellent borscht. ANd pierogis....oooo, don't get me started. That there's good food...so I've still maintained a positive view on Russian cooking...

My Lever:
mmmm...you sound good...er...I mean your ideas. ;)
And i've heard that cavier is enriched in protein, so I'm just glad Noel digs healthy food...(not that I'm about to stock up on cavier, mind you. ;) )

Kat E said...

things that jumped out to me in lever and BBFK's comment exchange, because I am dirty:
1. "come and get your salty intake"
2. "enriched in protein"

and on a non-sicko note, I love the expression "mad as a box of frogs"!!

rebekah said...

yeah i agree with lever :S
geez
caviar? what are you doing to that child?

rebekah said...

and hahahahahahaahhaha to kat

i caught it too ;)

Groucho Castaneda said...

Just be glad that, when it comes to caviar, your child has stuck to eating fish eggs and not the eggs of certain other creatures.

Lever said...

tsk

*shakes head*

Some people are just SO dirty...

*secretly sniggers whilst trying to reprimand those of gutter mind*

And that ChrissyCaviar is supposed to be art?? LOL

BeckyBumbleFuck said...

Big Ed:
Yeah, I'm impressed that she ate the caviar, too...it didn't sit well with my palate. In fact, Noel and I are the perfect combination, 'cause I was happy as a fish egg...er...clam with just the pancake and sour cream. ;)

Kat E:
*tsk* ONLY you would find "enriched in protein" remotely suggestive. LMAO

And yes, I dig that expression too...it gives me Harry Potter movie flashbacks...

Rebekah:
Well, she was FULLY informed. She was told that they were baby fish...she still asked for more anyways. *shrugs*

Thanks, babe, for trying to keep us in line...we can be admittedly bad....well mostly Lever... *wink*

Groucho:
That may be one of the sickest things I've ever seen. I am completely grossed out.

Nice one ;)

My Lever:
I love it when you play coy. ;)

I always have a hard time dealing with the fact that mardi gras is the same thing as the somber day we used to have at catholic school. We certainly never had caviar pancakes, or beads, or anything of this nature.

BeckyBumbleFuck said...

Miss Jay:
Yeah, my Catholic church/school managed to fast forward past the fun part, too and just jump right into the sombre doldrums of lent...

Ellen!!
Hey Lady, it's been ages!!! :D
Yeah, and you're spot on with your assessment...although I quit being a Catholic BEFORE I got to do a big sinning-style Mardi Gras. Bugger.

Ellen:
Well, I can't wait to her all your stories darlin'. Write away...

DG:

Rebekah:
Are you serious?
That is so uncool and so very, very odd. It's not like Lever is a satanist or something....far from it. I do not understand how he would be censored...anyways, I'm sorry to hear that, Babe. *hugs and kisses*
