Wow!! Such an interesting story about Mark’s visit and your Dad’s visit to Russia. Your dinner sounds absolutely delicious. Can you make the Pirozhki vegetarian? Thank you for sharing your story and the recipes. ❤️
You could absolutely make vegetarian fillings - we had ones with cabbage, and other ones either apple! The dough is lovely and I think would be good with any filling!
Wow, I love these dinners that you do! sharing knowledge and awareness! You had and amazing dinner, I love Pirozhki and Borsht! I did once a dinner party with Borsht!
Thank you! I can totally imagine the veggies in the winter markets in Mexico would be perfect! I’m definitely adding borscht to our regular menu rotation now that I know how good it is (I love beets so I’m not sure why it took me so long!!?)
So interesting Jessica. I started reading it b/c I love Borscht. When I became a vegetarian in my 20s it was one of the first recipes I made. Think I found it in Joy of Cooking. And it sounded weird and good, esp. w/ a dollop of sour cream on top. Then in Mexico had a German friend who always insisted on making it whenever she came to MX each winter, b/c the cabbage (and all vegetables) in MX are so fresh and good. The entire post was mesmerizing, and your doll collection sounds incredible. (love the Russian one btw). Pirozhki was a big deal where I grew up in the midwest. Must have been from a large Russian immigration at some point in time. They are good! Thanks for the entertaining post!

Thank you! My husband always told me he loved the borscht his host mother made and now i get it!
Sounds delicious and what a great backstory!
