Vacation is over - want new vacation

We came back from Italy. Sounds usual so far? Yes, but this was not the usual place to go - it never is. I was waiting to see this wonderful country all my life, always pushing it till the time I retire. But no - no need to wait so long: we have seen it!


16 days, 2000 km of driving, endless navigation mistakes (because and/or despite having GPS), heat (33-36 C) - all this should have lead to the appreciation of being home. While I do love our home (may I call it Casa di Borisov ?), I do want to return to Toscana or see the Alps or both. There are so many places we did not see yet - hope we see it again one day.

So ciao Italy - I wanna see you again!

А он и отвечает: "А кто в трубке?" Бедняга никак потом не мог понять, почему мы смеёмся.

Wilie was really impressed with the variety and taste. We thought that praises were over when they left, but just before this Christmas came a request to send a recipe for one of Inna's favorites - backed mushroom casserole. As they usually say in marketing - "following popular demand", Inna wrote the text in Russian and I quickly translated to English. Now even in faraway Australia her dishes make waves. Backed mushroom casserole Ingredients:  - dough: 6 eggs, 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, one 15% sour cream, 5 tablespoons of flour without backing powder, half pack of backing powder, salt and pepper and a bit of sugar  per your own tasting preferences - stuffing: 2 big onions fried to golden color, 1 bottle of canned champignon mushrooms or 300 gr of fresh mushrooms, fry these mus...
