Russia
Tonight we went to Russia, mainly so we could colour in a really big area on our map! We had a rice, vegetable and tuna pie called Koulibiaka. Niamh thought it wasn't that nice but she ate some of it. It was really nice and we might have it again. Then we had a pudding called Napoleon cake, which was made from 8 layers of a rolled, baked pastry layered with a vanilla custard. Yes, we did roll and individually bake 8 layers of shortbread, and cook our own custard. It took about 3 hours to make, but was worth it when it came time to eat! If anyone would like the recipe, let us know.
Dad thought the music was utter rubbish, so it's lucky he doesn't live in Russia, and he says he would rather listen to his workmates' greatest karaoke hits.

Boy, it looks like a lot of work went into this dinner! It's great to have photos up so we can see what you've been eating.
How did you cook the pie in the shape of a fish?
We just cut the pastry into a fish shape!
Did you bake it layer upon layer ??
Pastry, filling, pastry over the top and a bit of milk to glaze, then baked it all like that. Pretty simple really, although I think my fin was a work of art...
The lads from work loved the left over cake. Although it was rather hard to get them to move quickly afterwards. I had three portions, definalty want to try that again without the russian pop music. Maybe some Russian Ballet music next time.
Love Dad
