oh boy, are you gonna be in trouble with the swirl.

Too much information. Can't respond except to say that's a cute little girl in the bottom picture. I'll bet they were feeding her something more fun than borscht.

Too much information for a research guy. There's one for the books. And what's a swirl?

The swirl. The "entity" Kavanagh

NOW I remember fizzies.

NYC in the weeks around Labor Day: glorious.

Fizzies are packaged somewhat differently up here. But they're the real McCoy. Or the real Hatfield. Or something.

four sisters.....the Brooklyn desmoiselles?

Exactly. Except without the frightening African masks. Most of the time.

MOMA I'm jealous. (I so wanna go see Richard Williams speak on the 22nd.)

where's the sour cream for the borscht? and among the very traditional there would also be a boiled potato. i am guessing it was cold borscht - the hot stuff is only good in the dead of winter...in siberia!

that movie with Elijah Wood about going to the Ukraine to look for lost Jewish relatives. They eat in a home/restaurant. Only potatoes. He drops the one potato on the floor. The host grabs it to his own plate. "Welcome to the Ukraine," he laughs. You'll probably never get to see it anyway. I hate those reveal-all trailers.

I saw it. Had a great soundtrack.

Leslie. I hadn't yet added the sour cream. No potato.

and at tatiana did they slap down many slices of cold, white bread on a plate? that was my favorite part. very classy. (p.s. we look so confused!!)
