I got a recipe from Lina and will be making it for supper tomorrow night. Borscht (a soup) and will take the leftovers with me to the class (Downton Abbey).
My grandma made the best borscht soup!! My mom makes it now (my sweet gram passed away in '06). My grandparents were Germans from Russia. This is near and dear to my heart-I remember how my grandma used to add different things to the soup sometimes (meat, etc.). I was told later in life that this was commonplace in their youth-to utilize whatever ingredients were readily available. Nothing was wasted. These things are important to value, remember, and pass on to future generations.
LOVE borscht! Make sure you tell us how you like it
This is our dinner of borscht. I loved it. Thanks Lina,awesome recipe and I must say we will be having this more often. These are the pics,I will be submitting to the library .
Looks great, KFF! (Were those Stephen salt n pepper shakers?)
Very cool!
Got the 1st season of Downton Abbey.Started watching it tonight.
Sounds like a great reading challenge. Brilliant, enjoy. I've not read a lot of Russian stuff, well none really.
It does not have to be Russian stuff for the reads. It is a lot of Olympic type things. Thats how russia fits in. They have a list of different things and you pick the ones you want to do. Must do 10 out of the 15 to reach the gold level.
Silver linings
I know theres a book, too. I have seen the movie last year.

Went to ther Downton Abbey tea party today. Wow they out did themselves. A butler in a tux poored our tea and waited on us. The had the three tiers set up like British times do. Several dressed up in those times. Had a trivia quiz. I felt pretty good they did a trivia quiz with 15 questions from 4 seasons. I only saw the 1st season and got 6 right.It was fun.
Found out today,I have completed all three levels of the program. Bronze,silver and Gold. So now just trying to complete the rest of the challenges just for fun. I am waiting for the next things and strings class as we will be making oylmpics bracelets.

Nice KFF! - It sounds like you really get a lot out of that library program!
Really enjoy it . Something different to do with my time and I meet new people. Also learn new things.
You're blessed--it sounds like a lot of fun!

Blue, yellow, black, green, red - I had to Google the Olympic rings to see the colours - it looks like Hubby is technically the correct bracelet maker! (although son could have his on upside down) and @king family fan - you were just being artistic!Here are our bracelets we made.
