I received this nice note about a month ago (before my site was converted to a forum). The note included a recipe, so I will post in under salads. This one is quite different from
Zina's recipe for olivye. Thanks for sending it and thanks for including the link to your blog. I visited it and you have some nice articles on Russia which are well written. I'll check your blog out again soon.
