We meet again, blogosphere.
So for this week’s school project, we’re supposed to pair up with a classmate, create a blog, and write entries for the next few days. Writing your own blog is already quite a task but writing with a partner can be extremely daunting if you can’t find a common interest, or if either one doesn’t know how to adapt or compromise. In addition, the last time I blogged was two years ago, and I have been cutting back on my social media activities for the majority of 2016 and so I was quite apprehensive to say the least. Fortunately though, one of my favorite ladies in class, Maryia, ran excitedly to me saying she has an idea for this project... and it’s all because of this guy.
Say hello to Kvas. If you don’t know what it is, then here’s a description from Wikipedia.
Kvass is a traditional Slavic and Baltic fermented beverage commonly made from black or regular rye bread.[1] The colour of the bread used contributes to the colour of the resulting drink. It is classified as a non-alcoholic drink by Russian standards, as the alcohol content from fermentation is typically low (0.5–1.0%) So it’s basically a bread drink! 🍞 UH-MAZING. I was so intrigued when Maryia and her husband offered me this drink because I haven’t heard of anything like it before. I didn’t know what to expect but I immediately took a liking when I had a sip, probably because I like sourdough and rye bread. Yeah, I’m weird like that. Lol. 😂
Anyway, the idea for the project came about from that experience and from visiting a Russian store downtown with Maryia and some friends a couple of nights ago. And since we’re doing this blog thing, we might as well have fun with it, right? Sooo... we decided to do a food challenge! Yaasss! Foooodddd! I won’t go into details for now, but I am quite hyped up thinking about what snacks I might get to eat. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I am one hungry person. 😋
So yes, I will embrace this compulsory activity with an unbiased mind and a welcoming stomach. Bye for now!
