Instead of a properly Jewish Thanksgiving, this will, rather, be a “Russian Jew Thanksgiving” because, aside from the famous gefilte fish, I will be making a traditional Russian coulibiac with wild mushrooms. I never made a coulibiac before because I’m a really shitty baker. I have never even tried one. But recently N and I were watching a Russian TV show where people were eating a coulibiac. The wistful expression on N’s face told me I needed to be making a coulibiac as soon as possible.
I will post the coulibiac recipe tomorrow.

Careful with the mushrooms – use cultivated ones or ones gathered by an expert. Avoid toxic mushrooms, keep your liver happy! (every few years someone trying the Back to Nature bit poisons their liver by eating the wrong mushroom.

I wanted to do the cabbage one, to be honest. But the Russian is sick and looking very pitiful. So it will be mushrooms. I didn’t gather them myself or anything. 🙂

I thought the thing to do was to have Chinese takeaway on American Thanksgiving and Christmas … 🙂

I joke, but here I am on American Thanksgiving eating Chinese takeaway …
… that’s made to look like a turkey dinner, mind you, even though it isn’t. 🙂

For many Québécois, coulibiac means Le déclin de l’empire américain. A great film.

Ok, then we will accompany the meal by discussing American stupid foreign policy.

Oh! The movie is more interesting than that. While eating their coulibiac the characters end up talking about sex.
