Food Festival Options!

Привет русский клуб!

Here are some simple recipes I found for us to use to make scrumptious dishes for the international food festival. Please choose which one you want to make, and make plenty of it! Comment here with which you'll be making - whatever is left, I'll do.

Pierogi - click here for recipe and info

Borscht - click here for recipe and info

Russian Poppyseed bread - click here for info

Russian salad of your choice! - click here for recipes

Russian rye and salomi open sandwiches (a little snack).
Rye bread, thick cut salami from the deli and a cheese of your choice. Each piece of bread should be sliced in half.
See pic here

Ok, I'll also be picking up some extra stuff from my usual Russian shop in Tulsa THIS weekend. If you want me to pick up anything for you, just drop by my desk in the CSI and leave your cash with a note under my keyboard :)

Please choose what you want to make by Friday so I can turn in our info to the office of International Education for the event~

This'll be loads of fun!

New Officer Positions/Meeting Times and More

Hello all!
Due to Inner Bean's hour-of-opperation change this semester, we may do one of two things:
1. Meet every other week, Thursday after 5pm or,
2. Meet every other week Thursday after 5pm at Inner Bean and alternating weeks on Friday at 11:30 at Java Cat.

Just to avoid cofusion, I propose we meet every other week Thursday at 5:30 at Inner Bean and stay in contact online through the blog, new hornet life site, and twitter. - but what do you all think? Also - should we have a facebook page?
We certainly need to outreach to the rest of the campus and let everyone know we're here!

New Officer Positions!

Stephanie Plummer is the new Russian Club president, I'll be staying at V.P until I graduate at the end of this semester. Aaron Cox is Treasurer!

We now have a space open for secretary ~ secretary will post here as well as the Pres with information and fun Russian facts and keep everyone in the loop about events :)

You may see posts from me on here now and again, but mostly it'll be Stephanie's domain! I know she'll be an excellent president and usher the club into a wonderful 2013 year!

Next week will be Valentine's Day, so we won't be meeting - so online activity will be very important! The international food festival is coming up on Mar 2nd! 11am-5pm. Stephanie and I will likely be doing a dance (we just have to get together and practice  LOL) I can post up some simple foods and recipes from which we can each pick to make and bring (don't worry - super easy with ingrediants that will be affordable and available) Look for that soon! After the International Food Festival we're planning to have a movie night showing Russian Ark. The venue and time is being ironed out now and I will have more info in just a few days for you.

At the next meeting lets practice some basic language skills :)
Please see this link  and this one, and lastly this one for all you need to know. No worries ~ we'll go over everything together, but you may want to familiarize yourself a bit before hand for fun.

It's been a blast starting this little group and being your pres - I look forward to seeing where it goes!
