Over Easter weekend I took full advantage of the four day break and headed down towards Houston, Texas. Houston was NOT what I expected at all. When you hear "Texas" images of horses, cowboys, sand, sun and marrages appear. Little did I know, Houston was an amazing city that is very green, warm and is almost like a paradise.
My friend Maria Baidoukov is Russian therefore in Houston I got to endure the whole Russian-Orthodox Easter tradiations. To begin Easter morning we had a breakfast which included Russian pancakes called "Blini's", they are thin like a French Crepe but have a slight different texture and are often eaten with jams, fruits, maple syurp, caviare or sour cream.
Following the breakfast we ate a Russian cake which was bought from the Russian Orthodox church in Houston. It is almost like sweet bread with rasins. For the rest of the day I finished up Chemistry homework and relaxed in the sun. Finally to conclude the day, Maria's family and I experienced a Brazilian resturant. It was all you can eat with 14 different types of meat cooked on spits. Each person in the resturant had a circle card, a red side and a green side. When you would like more meat you would turn the card green, then red when you're full. Men working in the resturant would constantly glide around the room, each bringing a different type of meat.
Anyways, this whole blog entry is on food and it's making me rather hungry thus I'm going to stop there.
