The point of giving such treatment is to get him to fix the piano in the way so that it won't need any repairing in the future.

If i want to buy tasty chocolate i buy swiss (Lindt) or russian (Россия Золотая марка).

I must have tried the wrong Russian chocolate- or it was just too old.

Yeah that^^^ And he's fixing the piano for less than he should be charging. At any rate, I like making good food when I'm in the mood.

He might want to make sure that your piano breaks down again so as to get more of that supairb gastronomical treatment of yours.

Hanna... we had an entire thread devoted to Russian chocolate!! Something REALLY important - Russian Chocolate! It really is VERY good!!!

We ended up having dinner due to changes, but it was delicious. Dmitry told me all about real pelmeni and how delicious they are. He liked mine enough for seconds and was happy to just put smetana on them. Torte was delicious as well. Dmitry knocked $10 off his service fee for dinner. He also played some Russian children's songs. During regulation we discussed Russian literature, skazki, adn Napolean. It was great.

Pilmeni with chocolate? You must be barmy.

Not instrumental. первый блин - ком. My pancakes are always like that. Первый pancake - ком.

This brand belongs to Nestlé company so it's sorta Swiss too .

I made pelmeni once. ONCE.
They came out OK but the kitchen looked like a bomb went off.
I have since stopped making pasta at home. I have learned my lesson.

Here, or maybe more in Canada, a different name is used. Pierogi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a Polish word. In Russian they are called вареники (any other stuff than meat). Пироги in Russian means different thing.

So is this Russian or Polish?



This is what I think of when I hear the word pirog (classic school lunch food if you add some vegetables!)
I noticed that in Belarus they sometimes use this word when they speak about cakes.
