I found it while looking for tvorog on Google. My mother used to make pascha at Easter and I was loooking for the right kind of cheese to use. I certainly intend to try your recipe but have you ever used the commercial Farmer's cheese from the grocery store?

I noticed! It's so exciting to have a blog dedicated to Russian food. I know what you mean about all those sexy food blogs out there. It's hard to compete with all that food porn, but the writing on some of those popular blogs is not always great and most of them don't make me laugh out-loud like you do. <BR/><BR/>About the theme... Oh I hear ya sister! I am struggling with the same thing. My intended theme is fish and I do cook plenty of it, but still I am tempted to deviate from it when I cook something I really liked. With Russian food it must be even harder. I love it, but I find that I barely cook it in the warmer months. It's just hard to take advantage of our seafood and produce in the summer with Russian dishes. But I bet the cuisines of Uzbekistan, Armenia, and Georgia would be perfect in the summer. Too bad, I don't know much about them. So I am really looking forward to your posts.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-1148456375530503982006-05-24T00:39:00.000-07:002006-05-24T00:39:00.000-07:00Well you got me from Food Porn Watch and I can say...Well you got me from Food Porn Watch and I can say that it was the Russian food angle that caught my eye.

As long as your blog is basically about Russian cooking (interesting theme BTW) you should feel free to indulge in a few other subjects from time to time. Blogging is about freedom to write what you want, after all...<BR/><BR/>As far as "nobody noticing", it seems to me you have a lot of comments for a fairly new blog! So keep it up and keep visiting other people's blogs.

I think your pix look very nice, but I find that food bloggers are very hard on themselves when it comes to photos.<BR/><BR/>I haven't given up reading either, but I should really give up some sleep. It's almost farmer's market season but I know I'll have trouble getting up earlier on weekends to actually make it to any farmer's markets.<BR/><BR/>Rebecca--Don't feel foolish! I think Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen started a "Grilled Cheese Sandwich" day, when food bloggers were supposed blog about their favorite cheese sandwiches in defiance of this article. This was back in March, but I'm sure you could find it in her archives.<BR/><BR/>I thought the article was very tongue-in-cheek, but it did have some good pointers for food bloggers. I might write about a favorite cheese sandwich, keeping my blog's "sense of purpose" in mind, of course!Mrs. M. https://www.blogger.com/profile/11988934733961380885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-1147528397512703572006-05-13T06:53:00.000-07:002006-05-13T06:53:00.000-07:00Lindy's too modest, her photos have inspired me!

That's how I found you, though I stopped by once before when mzn of Haverchuk mentioned that he was delighted to see another food blogger in town. <BR/><BR/>I know just how you feel about the photography. I too have a cheapie camera, and was not very interested in learning how to take good food pictures. I feel like I have improved, though, and I actually enjoy taking them now.<BR/><BR/>Rebecca is quite right that one key is natural light, at least for amateurs like us. Food just looks lurid with a flash. I take my dinner on the porch. In addition to focus, a steady camera does wonders. you can approximate a tripod effect by steadying the camera on a pile of books.<BR/><BR/>Not that I think my photography is anything special- but I do think it has improved a lot, and that the pictures do a better job of showing what the food looks like than when I started.<BR/><BR/>Good luck-and I'll be back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-1147491747749969722006-05-12T20:42:00.000-07:002006-05-12T20:42:00.000-07:00Hi, Rebecca.Thanks for your thoughtful comments an...Hi, Rebecca.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughtful comments and photo tips! Yes, this little blog is consuming me with anxiety too. I have a relatively low-stress 9-5 job, no kids, no pets, no huge responsibilities, so I don't know how bloggers with busy lives find the time.<BR/><BR/>And the technical stuff is just a mystery to me. For example, I just started thinking about syndication and RSS feeds. I can't even explain how that stuff works or how to set it up. <BR/><BR/>(Still, like many bloggers, I'm starting to plan my cooking around my blog.) <BR/><BR/>I registed my blog with Food Porn Watch, too, but I don't think I got many readers that way. As for finding you blog, I'm pretty sure another site I read linked to it--I can't remember which one right now. That's how I make most of my blog discoveries.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with blogging on your own! I'm looking forward to reading your posts.Mrs. M. https://www.blogger.com/profile/11988934733961380885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-1147449074781166872006-05-12T08:51:00.000-07:002006-05-12T08:51:00.000-07:00Yulinka--Your post made me laugh so hard; you remi...Yulinka--Your post made me laugh so hard; you remind me of myself, but funnier. If you look back at my blog entries you will see lots of blurry photos. I wanted a new camera but my husband put his foot down and said I needed to learn to use the one we had. I had 2 people giving me tips via email that helped more than hours scrutinizing the incomprehensible manual. One was to turn the flash off and try to use natural or at least just bright light. The other was to look for this little flower--that indicates the setting for close-up shots. Also, make sure you push the button half-way down; that focuses it, then depress completely.<BR/><BR/>As far as the blog itself having a theme, that's the first I have heard of it but I suppose it makes sense. My son and I don't really have one, though. So our blog is all over the place. I do know what you mean about feeling intimidated by all the beautiful and professional blogs out there; there are so many of them. And I don't know which to wish for, with our amateur efforts, more readers, or fewer! As it is, we get about 400 unique hits a day, which amazes me. How in the world did you happen upon us, for instance? One thing I did was register our blog on Food Porn Watch and that got us a lot of readers. Another was I just picked a couple of blogs I read regularly and comment on and I think that gives us visibility.<BR/>And I had to laugh when you wrote about how time-consuming you are finding it to be. Me, too!!! I don't know how these bloggers do it who write long screeds every day, cook these gourmet feasts, presumably shop all over for organic ingredients, have impressive resumes, have demanding jobs, some have families and real lives, etc. For instance, right now I'm sitting in bed still in my nightgown and I haven't even brushed my teeth yet! And a lot of bloggers keep up with other blogs and comment regularly, too. Like you, I used to read and have a life and now I'm consumed with anxiety over my blog. I was dreaming about it last night. And I share responsibility for mine with my son in New York. Unfortunately he's going on vacation today so I'm on my own for 10 days--eek!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
