Russian Gourmet: Borscht
"Borscht is delicious and good for you, but most importantly it’s cheap and easy to make. A word of caution: you can’t make a small amount of borscht, there will always be more than you expected."My wife is Mrs. Vegetable, and loves this type of meal. With my Deutsch extraction, I prefer the more singular and sour kraut made from cabbage. Our friend, Tatyana, grew up in St. Petersburg, and brought her delicious borscht with her to the USA. It's a prized delicacy at our regular church potluck luncheons.
Some Tangential Russiagate
"A lawyer whose firm hired Fusion GPS to produce opposition research on Donald Trump leading to the phony “Russia dossier” has written to the State of Nevada pressuring it to bow to Democrat demands to allow “ballot harvesting.”"To paraphrase Obama's former WH chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, "Never let a crisis go to waste - in the cause of vote fraud."
One thing COVID19 has assured me of is that government remains terrible
"When my wife passed, we were out of town. The governor ordered a shutdown of the state and I couldn’t leave because she was in the hospital. Everything is shutdown. All of it. Except for fucking toll booths. I’m no epidemiologist but it seems to me that thousands of people coming into contact with a small group of people over a long time period would do more to spread the disease than people going to the beach. But the state’s gotta get that revenue."Exactly. We're being scammed by this crap shoot. The NY MTA is STILL up and running, despite studies that show the Wuhan Virus spread along those corridors. Will NY's Trump-hating commie mayor pay any price for his malfeasance? Rhetorical.

Now: More evidence points to Chinese lab as virus origin
"“There is increasing confidence that COVID-19 likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory, though not as a bioweapon but as part of China’s effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States,” the outlet revealed."Humanitarian one-upmanship. From China??
The sign: WHO Director Bashes Taiwan Using Chinese Propaganda
"During this same press conference, Tedros also called for “global solidarity” and for people to “quarantine politicizing COVID.” He also demanded “honest leadership from the United States and China,” as if the Chinese Communist Party’s lies about the origin and spread of the virus were somehow equal to whatever “lies” he believes the U.S. has told."'Global solidarity.' Then tell me again why WHO excludes Taiwan from its membership?
