Hello Dear Giulia

I was very glad, when I’ve know that your internet connection work in right way. Your pictures from Torino was terrific. I really did not know all that stuff about your political system.
In Russia we can vote straight after 18. Here is nor senate nor House of Commons have a place.
Our State Duma is a sort of senate, above State Duma is President (Mr. Putin). He is very popular in Russia. I can’t really imagine that president of Italy can say- “We’ll be kill terrorist anywhere even in WC”. Probably you know that Russia have some problem in Chechnya. There is much terrorist whose evil mind full of destructive thinks. Some time ago they blew up block house, where did lived 200 people, had captured theatre and captivated spectators and so on.
Very hard to be a Russian. Never mind it is a just joke. But Russian have a saying- «Every joke has part of true».
And I want to congratulate you with Easter.
By the way did paint the eggs in Italy? Сhocolate eggs is untraditional, that is way I want to present to you Village Recipe of colored eggs:
Take 200 gram onion’s peelings put them in saucepan and left it on the fire till boil then add eggs and wait till eggs is ready. After this procedure eggs acquire beautiful, lustrous, brown color. When I was young I wake up early in the morning take some eggs from a fridge in my pocket and take a stroll. Wherever and whoever I met I give the eggs and receive the same. Moreover we saying each other-“Christ is back to life” and take in answer “he is risen indeed”. (May be in English it sounds silly.) This is old Christian tradition. After this all family is gathered in the kitchen for festive supper. And only after 12 p.m. I use to go to church with all my friend. But Easter it is not such a celebrate that Russians commemorate “with gusto”.
But anyway HAPPY EASTER and “Christ is back to life”…


Really, you had built casa sull’albero?
In my childhood I had built so many homes on a tree that failed the count.
In Russian language it sounds like a “shtab”. And I even had a game, sort of spy one.
We used to hide our “shtab” far away in forest cause’ our opponent can find and broke it.
And we do the same. It was great!!! And also we have a sort of weapon – long pipe, which for shooting use small berry of rowan-tree. And when you blow into pipe, berry pop out with good speed. It can hurt body even for a blood. (Cruel game )
House of your Grandma is great, I can’t imagine that it was better some time ago…

Dear Giulia,

I was very glad to find out that your internet connection worked correctly. Your pictures from Torino were terrific. I really did not know all that stuff about your political system.
In Russia, we can vote right after we are 18. We have neither Senate nor House of Commons here. Our State Duma is a sort of senate; the President (Mr. Putin) is above the State Duma. He is very popular in Russia. I can’t really imagine that the president of Italy could say, “We’ll be killing terrorist anywhere, even in WCs”. Probably you know that Russia has some problem in Chechnya. There is a lot of terrorists whose evil minds are full of destructive thoughts. Some time ago, they blew up a block house where 200 people lived, took over a theatre and held the spectators as hostages, and so on.
It is very hard to be a Russian. Never mind, it is a just joke. But, as a Russian saying goes, "Every joke has some truth in it."
I want to wish you a happy Easter.
By the way, do you dye eggs in Italy? Сhocolate eggs are not traditional, so I want to tell you a village recipe for making colored eggs:
Take 200 grams of onion peels, put them in a saucepan and keep it on fire until the water boils, then put eggs in the water and wait till eggs are cooked. After this, the eggs acquire a beautiful, lustrous, brown color.

When I was young, I would wake up early in the morning, get some eggs from the fridge, put them in my pocket and take a stroll. Wherever and whoever I met, I exchanged eggs with them. Moreover, we woud say to each other, “Christ has resurrected”, and hear “Indeed he has” in reply. (Perhaps it sounds silly in English). This is an old Christian tradition. After this, the entire family would gather in the kitchen for a holiday supper. And only after 12 p.m. I would go to the church with all my friends. But Easter is not the kind of a holiday that Russians would celebrate “with gusto”. But anyway, HAPPY EASTER and “Christ has resurrected”…


Did you really build a casa sull’albero?
In my childhood, I built so many tree houses that I lost the count.
The Russian word for it sounds as “shtab”. And I even had a game, a sort of a spy game. We used to hide our “shtab” far away in forest, because our opponents could find and break it.
And we did the same. It was great!!! We had a weapon of sorts—a long pipe for shooting small rowan tree berries. When you blow into the pipe, the berry pops out with a great velocity. It can hurt one's body hard enough even to make it bleed. (A cruel game).
The house of your Grandma is great, I can’t imagine that it could be better some time ago…

Спасибо большое ты реальный чувак!!! :D

When you say onion peels it sounds like you are talking about the very light thin shin on the outside of the onion, which I doubt is the case since it would take dozens of onions to get 200 grams of these peelings. I would just say sliced onion or chopped onion.

"Every joke has some truth in it." -- We have a similar saying in America, "Many a truth is said in jest" or something like that.

Я даже не думал что на мое сообщение кто то откликнется, очень приятно что есть люди готовые помочь!!!
Спасибо большое

Depending on context, you might need "works correctly."

And that is exactly what we are talking about. The thin, dry "wrappings" are the only part of the onion that contain the pigment.

Challaner, I am not quite sure what the OP meant in that sentence about the grandma's house either, but I guess that his penpal had wrote to him that it looked better in the past. So grek replied that he could't imagine how that was possible.

Oh, well, in that case it should be something like this: "...I can’t imagine that it could have been in better condition in the past."

Ummm...OK.... Was I wrong to think that maybe not all sayings and such like are the same in the UK and other english speaking places as they are here?



And never mind about the onion peels then. It just seemed like it would take too many to get that many peels. They weigh almost nothing.
