Krispy Kreme & Fish

Today started with an early morning at the dentist. Thank you to Dr. Mongrain and Mary for a great visit. We appreciate their generosity with lighthouse project. Then we joined the group for a Russian version of The Lion King at Circle Cinema. Now Nathan and Timothy realize what it is like for Anton to watch an English movie with them. They at least knew the story line of this one.

This afternoon Anton was quiet and a little mopey. It was a great day for a taste of home. We went to the EuroMart at 71st & Memorial. It was just what he needed. He picked a few of his favorites and a few things he wanted us to try and picked up a treat for the fund raiser on Saturday. Then Anton hosted a feast for us with Mackeral, pelmini, Norwegian cheese, cok, hot strawberry tea, and a type of sunflower seeds. It was quite delicious. He enjoyed the cooking and you could definitely tell it was not his first time in the kitchen. We also got some sardines for tomorrow. He was delighted and I was glad to see the spark back in his eye.

Then driving home we saw the red light. The Krispy Kreme Donuts were HOT!! We stopped and he was enthralled with the machine that makes the donuts. We probably spent half an hour watching the machine, even when it ran out of donuts. He was very intrigued with how it works. He liked the donuts, but I think he liked watching them made even more.

He ended the day playing wii with the Thomason's while we went to a meeting. Thank you very much for your ministry to Anton while we were gone. He had alot of fun and loved seeing the mustang.

Nice fish in a bag. I don't guess you can buy that at long johns or captain D's.

Seriously, Euro Mart (or the "Russian store" as we often call it) has been a HUGE blessing to our family over the years. I'm so glad that Anton got to go and was able to introduce his host family and friends to some favorite and familiar items!! Yum!!!

Our girls can walk in and not only hear a kind "Dzdrasvoycha" (spoken by a real-live native Russian from their own city of birth) but see and smell many familiar things!

Remind me to send you my recipe for Borsh (slow cooker version!!) and Russian black bread (bread machine version), and Olga's recipe for zemny salat (veggie salad with chunks of meat), and Nina's recipe for shoebah (beet salad with herring). BTW, please forgive my poor attempts to transliterate! :-)

I'm praying regularly for Anton and the other kids!!!
