I am from Azerbaijan but live near La Crosse just on the other side of the state. <br /><br />I totally agree about the chicken breast - I wish Americans would see the light on that one! On the other hand, that means more dark meat for me!<br /><br />I am playing around with a food blog myself (somewhat incorporating Russian and other traditional cuisines) though it is mostly about farm cooking with lots of butter. (I know it's lame to drop a link like that, but as we share a common background, here it goes)<br /><br />http://richfoodleantimes.wordpress.comSofyahttp://richfoodleantimes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-31460626346054136762010-02-09T08:43:12.542-08:002010-02-09T08:43:12.542-08:00Sounds good, but I adore mash and gravy.

Agreed that they're too dry to cook any other way (unless you marinade them in yogurt or kefir, I've discovered).<br /><br />Anna-I also love making kotleti on the grill--you get all the flavor and none of the grease of frying. Whenever I make mashed potatoes for kotleti, I also make a pan-sauce.Mrs. M. https://www.blogger.com/profile/11988934733961380885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-80145632219106868902010-02-07T16:25:15.730-08:002010-02-07T16:25:15.730-08:00I love kotleti.

Generally you would just buy one chicken, so you would only have one chicken breast, out of which you could only make a few kotlety. This is probably why I don't remember the adults in the house ever eating them - it was us kids that got to enjoy them.Irinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733337748724280415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-10455405116250601602010-02-04T21:41:44.065-08:002010-02-04T21:41:44.065-08:00Dimitry--yeah, mine too.
