Freshly-salted cucumbers stayed in the pan about 10 days, exactly from that time when some of my friends came to us for gastronomic drunken feast under umbrella.  Taking into account that  I remember about the cucumbers only on Saturday when my head absolutely free from business matters then about 12 completely salted pieces have waited for their fate long ago. I cut a few cucumbers lengthwise in four pieces. Then Lilya, I, young potates and aubergine paste made ourselves comfortable at the terrace.  A few pieces of cucumbers have left. I decided to be a housholder a little and having opened the fridge threw them into the first subject resembling a pan. At that when I took away the remains I said for everybody to hear: I put to rights by myself so don’t make complains…  Only on Sunday’s afternoon when Lilya poured a compote she noticed that someting floating in it.  The compote had very creative taste and the cucumbers had violet tint.

How much the differences of the doors went out of date in their and our contries are noticable?

It is significant that the colour scores are alike…

At the sea port buldings after the show accompanied by loud music and local cognac was demonstrated new model of Audi. The red acetate silk dress of the presenter slurred over an impression a little… And the car looks at least immodestly. The designers from Ingolstadt have done their best and in the result the car looks  in leader way elegant and with it some sports notes are presented in the design. Everyone as usual were presented…but  only it is impossible to understand how Emmanuil Vitorgan found himself in this gathering.

The history of Privoz’s slow murder has been discussed many times as in the printed media so as in the Internet. Now the same situation is with market Noviy Rinok. It is one of the oldest markets in Odessa. It was founded in 1812. In  the forties of 19 century at the territory of the market were built first two-storeyed trade buildings with opened galleries which were designed by the architector N. S. Kozlov. In 1896 according to the project of engineer A. D. Todorov were built the buildings with high sale rooms and glass roof, which have occupied two  blocks at Torgovaya Street. In 1921 the buildings markets with roof turned into arena where gaterinngs, meetings, concerts and circus show have taken place.
It gone through not one fire, in the result of one of them the main attrection of the market  — the church - was burned down. Now on its place is night car park which is guarded by a half homeless person- half parking attendant. This market is considered to be one of the most expensive markets in the city. Probaly more expensive is only mini market at 7th station of Big Fountain. All these things haven’t changed not at all the attitude to the market. At first, like the Privos also, it was enclosed with a whole battery of pavilion trimed by plastic lining boards with socks, bolts and other Turkish-Chinese joys. Then the very renovation began. And the main masterpiece, the sign, impresses even the most doltish persons.

The market with such an architecture could give mediately much more money as one of the tourist lights of the city, but momentary interests are first of all. Present-day children will be able only to read and to examine the postcards with images of this market. Against this background the renewal of the Lutheran church made on the money of private investors looks like architectural and cultural feat.

Аnd the local guard looked comically threatening among the sellers of vegetables…

Мoldavanka is not the nationality of the doll…

It happened in that way that my daughter and I found ourselves at the Starokonniy market  on the weekend and then we had a walk through Moldavanka for a long time…
