No, but I had borscht for lunch and then hit Gray's Papaya on the way home. Good call on the sauerkraut, too, by the way. I thought the kraut would be kinda dicey, but now I'm sure GP can do no wrong. Anyway, I was pretty sure I tasted beef stock in the borscht too. And those dumplings? Jesus, I could have eaten ten of them. I'm seriously considering heading over there tomorrow after the gift-opening hoo-ha is over and we're all wondering what to do with the rest of our day. Ha!

Yeah, I'm dubious about the soup being totally meatless... My tastebuds sense some beef stock in there, which, if this recipe I found on Saveur is to be believed must be okay, as it has chicken stock in it http://saveur.com/article.jsp?ID=3764&typeID=120 perhaps the prohibition is simply on the eating of actual meat? seems stock might be okay? The dumplings (uszka) are definitely meatless, made with dried mushrooms! Anyway, very, VERY glad you liked it! Merry Christmas!

Anyway, is that borscht really meatless? Even the broth? If so, I am doubly impressed because that soup was the freakin' greatest thing ever.

Yeah, French macarons are these things I never heard of until I started reading food blogs. They're more like meringues, made with almond flour and sandwiched with buttercream. They're very pretty and delicate and come in all sorts of flavors - Herme being famous for all sorts of creative pairings. Here's a picture of some different flavors: http://flickr.com/photos/bokchoyboy/50141664/ OK I put my list up.
