I’m going to cook for 3 events in the next 2 weeks: my little nephew’s first birthday, Christmas, and New Year’s.
Christmas will be traditional American with turkey, braised red cabbage, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and green peas.
New Year’s will be traditional Soviet with Soviet champagne ☭, Georgian wine and the dishes you could have found on any Soviet table on December 31, 1982.
My nephew’s birthday will be fusion because that’s how he is.
Nothing makes me happier than cooking huge meals for people I love. Especially when there is a Christmas tree in the background.

on December 31, 1982.
That feels super specific. Why that date in particular?

It was at the height of Soviet era hopelessness and shortages of everything. Yet New Year’s tables were super luxurious.
Plus, my sister was the same age as Klara is now. ☺
