Hi everyone. I know I haven't been writing anything recently. My mom is visiting!!!! So I haven't really been doing anything new or anything Russian. Instead I was trying to impress her with the new things that I have learned to cook over the past few years. I've made her a few of my favourite soups and she seams to like my shrimp over white beans, and quiches and my spinach burek (I should actually try posting the last one since it is very Turkish). I am waiting for her to start spoiling me in return once I am in Russia which is going to be in 2 weeks from now! Ain't I lucky!!! 
Today though my dear neighbor was over and we have had a nice lunch together. Thank you mom for making these most delicious blini with tvorog ( farmer cheese). They were soo good! And thank you Deanna for my beautiful peonies!
