By special request of Io, here is some food porn. Because it took me so long to chop the tiny ends off the tiny carrots I used, and peel the skins off the tiny beets, I didn’t actually make the borscht until last night. As I spent days with the ingredients that would become the borscht, I found myself bonding with the soup. So Manny named it Boris. Boris the Borscht. A temporary child, whom we ate part of last night, and plan to eat in portions throughout the winter, and also to share with family and friends. And certainly not as cute as Lucky sleeping or playing with his new toy, as you will see below. But a fine upstanding Boris he was, executing his deliciousness with valor. I would mourn for you, Boris, but I’m too busy enjoying my purple pee.
I used every single container I had available, and I still have a pot of soup left. I’m bringing some to my grandparents tonight, and will probably eat it again for supper, so that should be taken care of. Our freezer is getting mighty full. Thanks, Boris!
Now for the cuteness – Lucky murdered his previous chew toys, so Manny got him this new one last week. Lucky loves it so much and it is the best when he grabs it from the middle like this and runs around. Sometimes it covers his eyes and he runs into stuff on the way back to his hideout under the table where he loves to give his toys a good murdering. Oh baby, you’re so vicious!
I know I am supremely biased, but isn’t he the cutest dog of all time?
Okay, he just might by the cutest dog of all time. Just don’t tell mine I said so. He’s quietly sleeping at my feet with his panda doll.
OK he is cute BUT you are SOOOOOOOOOOOO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Boris, we hardly knew you before your parents ate you and froze you. You look delicious.
And Anna, your shirt/apron/dress? Fabulous. Simply wonderful. The pattern makes me want to also be cooking my own little Boris and smiling for the camera.
How do you keep yourself from playing with Lucky’s mouth while he sleeps? I just want to play with that soft little flap of fuzzy mouth drooping down. And Charlie sends his love. He is also passed out.
Could you be any cuter in your apron? I love it!
He’s adorable!! & the borscht looks yummy. (Is it lunchtime yet??)
you are so adorable! I can see your eyes just shine. and I love the apron!
Haha. Boris is my father-in-law’s name. Boris looks delish! And Lucky is cute, as usual.
Cuuuute dog! And you’re cuter=)
Your borsht is lovely – but your apron is divine! And you are so cute – LOVE the glasses!
I suck at harvesting my garden, I love the growing part but harvest time comes and eh, just not that into it. Sad, huh? I wonder how that correlates to my internal life?
And Lucky? omg, he is just buckets and buckets of deliciousness!!! How do you not eat his nose!! He is so adorable!!
Thanks for sharing!
Ooooh the cuteness is killing me – between your gorgeousness, Lucky’s adorableness and Boris’ yummyness I’m beside myself.
And I too LOVE the apron!
Mmmmm… yummy soup. It’s cold and rainy here today and I could use a bowl of that soup right now. Do you put a dollop of sour cream on it before you eat it?
Lucky is adorable!
Can I add my name to the long list of those who are coveting your apron?
I’m not sure who is cuter – you, Lucky or Boris!
My husband would attack your freezer if he knw where you were… He LOVES borscht. I prefer to eat the beet greens, but have slowly grown an appreciation for it.
I also was intrigued by your yogurt containers. I grew around Nancy’s yogurt whicher were the classic container in our house — for sand castles, compost bins and of course food storage! I see a different option there and now I am intrigued by what that yogurt is like.
thanks for sharing!
I nearly shat my lederhosen.
1) I want to eat borscht. I’m going to make some. I shall name mine Bruce … Boris’ Downunder cousin.
2) I covet your glasses. They. Are. Unreal.
3) Umm, there’s like, a PHOTO of you on your blog. Anna is OUT, people. Make WAY. Awesome.
4) I just called Mr TC in to show him your harvest. He was ver-y impressed. I may have to plant beetroot in our garden now.
Ummmm …. shit! You just fucking rock, in your apron, stirring fucking borscht! Too mofo cool for school!!
XOXOXOXOXOOXOXX
He was only runner up for cutest dog of all time. But the running into walls with a chew-toy part pretty much put him over the top. What a doll!
Am I an ignorant moron because I’ve never had borsht? Ahh, poor misunderstood Boris.
Had to come back, look at you in your glasses again. Yep, still cool. xox
So cute, that dog of yours. Glad I’m no chewtoy, though…
But watch out! You keep posting shots of that totally awesome apron, I’m going to finally snap and come up north to nab it!
Well, besides my dearly departed Sampson,he is. Wish I could be similarly entertained. Is he mixed? My MIL loves cocker spaniels and keeps rescuing the seniors. Might I suggest a “Kong” toy – they are indestructibe and you can put goodies in them. Does he like borscht?
OMG he is too cute! Aren’t dogs wonderful!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such nice comments.
Not as cute as you! I love his big snoot though. Yes, Kongs are great for destroyers. And Boda bones. (the rope ones- good for flossing!)
Damn, that’s a lot of purple soup!
Lucky is SO adorable.
Oh my gosh! What a cuuuuuuute puppy!!! I mean, I’ve seen him before, but he’s lookin’ mighty cute in those pics!
Jackson and Beckley, my pups, murder their plush toys too. It’s hard to find something that I don’t have to repair often!
I have never eaten borscht before, and I can say with great certainty that I’ve never in all my life seen that much borscht. Ever.
You are too damn cute. The other posters are right… the glasses, the apron… it’s all just too adorable.
Lucky is gorgeous! We’re a Kong household – Sadie can’t destroy them.
Ooh. Lovely food-porn! And PLENTIFUL food-porn, too.
And just to 24th it or whatever, you are too dang adorable in the little apron! Too cute!
And yes, biased or not, that is one super sweet looking puppy.
Boris looks wonderful, and you look so cute in your apron! Your beets and carrots look wonderful! My beets are ehh…they never got very big…I’m leaving them in until we get a frost.
Wow ! Boris looks amazing, you look wonderful and well Lucky he is such a cutie!
yeahhhh..your suggestion might be a little hard to carry out at work!
Ok…first of all YOU are adorable!! Eeek!
And Lucky is SOOO cute. Love how he can’t see and runs into things. That would be so funny.
And good for you, eating Boris. He would have wanted you to enjoy him.
He’s pretty dang cute! Especially with that chew toy.
