Today, dumplings for lunch and ice cream for breakfast. This is what remains from a previous life – taste preferences formed in childhood, often not very compatible with what is sold here in the USA. For example, I have never seen a clear fish soup here. I have to cook it myself, thankfully it’s quick. I plan to visit a local Georgian restaurant. I miss khachapuri adjaruli and kharcho.
I love dried fish. It goes well with beer. And I remember when I was in Thailand, I went into a local supermarket and saw huge, multi-meter shelves filled with all sorts of fish. I spent a long time deciding what to buy. Then I realized it looked beautiful because it was not salty but sweet. There was no salty fish at all. So, I didn’t buy anything.
Nadya and I shared the ice cream.
