After laying catatonic for a while to let all that food digest, Russian Club is still amazed at the turnout and gratification we got for our annual food party. Hopefully everyone managed to try everything, since all the food went quickly.

For those of you who were to lame to come (or had 'commitments' or some such thing), we had only the finest cuisine on hand Friday as we chowed down Russian-style in Owen. Our illustrious professor/gourmet Zarema, with some help from some MSURC officers and Russian grad students, spent days preparing everything for our feast. We had two different types of борщ, three types of салат, three types of пирожки (even dessert ones), кольбаса and cheese, and some delicious пирог to round out the meal. And, what's a solid Russian meal without квас?

Like we said before, the turnout was incredible. This was by far our most successful event of the year (possibly ever), since we had almost sixty people crammed into that kitchenette in Owen over the course of the evening. The amount of non-Russian students was pretty notable too, since a few of our current students managed to drag their friends out.

Photos of the shenanigans at our Russian smorgasbord should be put up pretty soon, so keep an eye out for them. And make sure you're around when we do it again next year. It's gonna be bigger and better, we promise!



UPDATE: The afore promised photos can be found here. That салат still looks delicious.
