BLINI BLOG!

So, it's about time for this blini blog that we've been talking about so long. And by "we" I mean Tess and I, and I'm sure everyone else on our trip would agree with us.

We love blini!

In Moscow our main source of blini was tepemok. There were so many different kinds to order and for the first week that is pretty much what we ate for most of our meals. Along with 'wonderful' instant coffee, hehe not so wonderful but cheap! It is so much fun because they are in these stands on the street and you can watch them make it! It is sad because one of the three stands we usually go to was taken down near the end of our stay because it was only up for the Christmas/New years time. But there was another one one block away not even, and then another in the other direction of our hostel.

We got to Novgorod and had to go a whole two days with out blini until we arrived in St. Petersburg. There are two blini stands really close to our hostel. One is a tepemok but they look different and I have yet to go to it, and the other is just a generic blini stand that I can't remember the name of, it's like sundisk or something. Their blinis are a different shape, they are squares and more oily. There are also a lot of indoor tepemoks which Tess and I went to today. It was facier and more expensive, but still just as tastey! We took a video to show you all but that'll come later, when I figure out how to make it work.

Well that's all for the Blini Blog!
