Thanks for the good stuff.

I always had a problem with US-centric recipes because they rely on a much greater food availability and much higher buying power than I can see or afford to have. In the US, it might be very cheap to buy stuff I can't even find here. Maybe Moscow or Saint-Petersburg, the two biggest Russian cities, have something like what the recipes ask of me, but here doesn't. I have to figure out how to thrive from what an American might consider scarcity. It's a good challenge.

Any ideas how to make chicken taste something? Chicken breasts seem to be among the most popular dishes one serves themselves to gain energy - due to its protein content, I presume - but they have no taste whatsoever.
