Julian made a pot of borscht last night. He used a recipe out of Anya Von Bremzen’s Please to the Table. Borscht takes as many forms as there are Eastern European grandmas. There are light, summery borschts and heavy, wintery ones. This version was a hybrid. The broth wasn’t thick, but there were plenty of vegetables. The problem is, this recipe made A LOT of borscht and there are only two people to eat it. (Luka and Neli have no interest in beets.)
After dinner, it was time to make up the grocery list for the week. Julian came down with his proposed menu for the week:
- Saturday: Leftover borscht
- Sunday: Pasta with borscht sauce
- Monday: Borscht rarebit
- Tuesday: Borscht smoothies
- Wednesday: Sloppy borschts
- Thursday: Borscht à la king
- Friday: Quenelles (fish dumplings) in borscht
I drew the line at smoothies.
