This is my first post.  I decided to start a blog because I like to write and I love  my German Russian culture.  I have been thinking about all the things I do just like my parents, and the foods I love to eat many of which are good old comfort food like chicken noodle soup.  On this cold rainy day, I search my cupboard for allspice because you have to sprinkle it on your soup.  That's the way we always did it and it is GOOD.
