Hello from California

[eruby]

Greetings! Your writing style seems to change from post to post!

Indeed.

I will issue a very cautious Welcome Aboard!, but am leaning toward Frosh toady, or Dumais boot-licker.

Shinebox in cart.

Welcome from Annapolis. I grew up in Santa Barbara. Lovely place until the libtards took over. Of course, now I live in Marylandistan, not much difference.

Hello guys.
I am from California. By the sound of my voice you can clearly hear my accent, which heavy russian. Sory for my English. I try to do my best, but not easy at my age to erase original sound.

That's OK. My computer doesn't have sound anymore. You look fine! Welcome comrade Palmaris.

 

[BrianinMd]

Welcome!

 

[dad4]

Welcome from Rising Sun!

 

[Palmaris]

Here is little bit background where I came from in 1993. I recommend to watch it entirely and it is on English.
Most of the dishes you can see on the video-I cook in home, except horse meat.

Exit stage right.

About the only state I’d leave faster than Marylinistan! Welcome. So many stupid laws and so little time.

Today I am making Lepyoshki-traditional Uzbek bread. Some of them will be plain, some of them will be with Kudyuk (fat from Fat Tail sheep).
Here is some pictures I already started
Making dough-flour, yeast, sugar and salt.

Than I took Fat and heated slowly to extract oil, then I remove cracknels and let oil drip off.

In the oil which was extracted from fat, I am frying chopped onion

After onion is fried to dark golden color I removed from frying caldron and let the oil drip off

I separated dough to make plain and fat/onion lepeski
I stir fried onion and cracknels with daugh

I put both pieces of dough to raise for one hour.

To be continued as I make progress.

 

[Palmaris]

After wait for one hour and dough has raised, I formed ball and let them stay another 20 minutes

Then I formed balls and sprinkled with Caraway and Sesame seeds as it seen on pictures and let it stay another 15 minutes

After that I sent them to oven heated up to 500F for 14 minutes on pizza stone

 

[Palmaris]

Here they are, ready to be consumed!

 

[Palmaris]

Right way to bake lepeshki is to put them up side down, in tandoori. I do not have tandoori, so I do them in pizza stone.

Good looking bread! Welcome from Colorado!

Closest I've gotten to Uzbekistan is Novokuznetsk in Kemerovo Oblast. You still have places to see until you have visited Siberia. Then you have seen it all. : )

 

[sinensis]

Do they not fall from the ceiling of the tandoori when they're done?

 

[tall.guy88]

I like Russian accents better than Cali accents any day. Welcome!

 

[photoracer]

Siberia, 3 months of frozen hell and 9 months of bad skiing.
Welcome, comrade. Most of my friends from the other side were formerly from the Baltic States.

 

[Palmaris]

Not really, they stick pretty good.

I was in Kemerovo in 1980-very oppressing city. I don't think there is any changes. I wouldn't visited it again even for free.

Kemerovo was a garden oasis compared to Novokuznetsk. It was worse than Pittsburgh during the heyday of steel production for Russia. Apparently the government brought in some environmental cleanup experts from Japan and the advice they were given was to pave the town, cover it with concrete and move the people 100 kilometers away. It makes most superfund sights in the USA look like a children's playground.

But of course, you know most of the world doesn't consider environmental restrictions the way they do in California.

Great looking bialys.
