<t>How cool.. I think that was it! Almost 20 years wondering about that.. Thanks Anne. I think at 6 years old I was too young for wodka. :wah: I remember when my friend (real dutch: eat potatoes, veg and meat every day) said she was going to eat foreign food one night.. <b...

I think she did make that one day..

She also made something that almost looked like gnocchi in a stew (?)

<t>Now.. I blame AnneBoleyn for this! (no worries, in a good way!) In another thread speaking of Russia.. It reminded me of foods my russian babysitter gave me. I don't know what her name was.. but she was Ruslan's mum (a boy in my class), so we called her Mama Ruslan. I have n...

<t>Ohh a bit off topic... but after G & J were aloud to stay in Holland and moved, I stayed at Mama Ruslan's place. She was from Russia too. OMG the things she cooked! I had no idea (still don't) what it was, but it was the best food ever! Mum wasn't very happy.. Mama Rusla...
