Food and Friends on a Russian Meal Schedule

Croissants, boiled eggs, kielbasa, lavash bread, fruit and of course coffee, make for a semi-traditional Armenian breakfast with Ida and Grachik.

Plums, watermelon, grapes and baked goods are served for lunch by Antonina Vasilievna.

A traditional Armenian lunch at Gala’s house.

Tea time with marmalade, apples and halvah. Just the usual.

Ilya and I grew up together and so did our mothers.  We got together for dinner.

Antonina Vasilevna bakes several times a week. She made a Napoleon cake for dessert.

Fall is apple harvest time in Russia as well. These are all from his own trees at the dacha (vacation home).
