the end of an era

The first time Ms. Russia made these for me was at my birthday party two years ago.  It’s funny to think about that birthday.  It was my 21st.  All the main characters were present, but also bundles of travelers who never meant to stay in my life.  And for the most part, they didn’t.  Ms. Irina, I am so grateful you stayed.  I am so grateful to have known you and learned from you, to have learned with you and lived with you.

To the future.  May it live up to the past.

These “Cheese Thingies” are a breakfast item in Russia.  They are super tasty with jam or just all by themselves.  I love them, and I hope you do too.
