I bought apples, tangerines, carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, onions and fresh salmon. One of the vendors gave me some very nice grapes. The salmon was $10 for four steaks. We paid $10 a steak the other day at the fancy grocery store, so I hope they are good.
The produce looks very good. How was it and the salmon? Are you enjoying the berries that are so abundant there?

I’m keeping track of the temps in Moscow. Starting to get chilly, eh? I’m judging by your LLBean coat! And I haven’t heard you mention that great Russian fishy treat, herring. Have you tried some yet?

What a beautiful photo!
I have just read all the blogs since you left the U.S. to catch me up on your adventures.
Do you have to bleach the veggies there? If you say no, I will be ever so jealous!

I still remember back in poland at the open air market square my grandmother buying me a pickle out of a big wood barrle, must of been really good. Two other things I really miss are gooseberries and red currents.

Dina,
You better buy them now and can them. Even a mild Russian winter will put an end to those fresh veggies & fruits!

Brrr! Do you really need that coat already?!? Or are you still Africanized. Still shorts/T-shirt here in Japan (your next stop, we hope).
Sounds lovely.

MamaLana got me really going with the herring (nothing what you can get mind you). The food co-op I go to is remodeling and I couldn’t find the herring, so I had to settle for anchovies. Riding my bike home from work today I’ll have to stop at the russian story in West Sacramento and get some!

You can take the kid out of Eastern Europe, but you can’t get the love of herring out of the kid!
