Daily life

We are getting somewhat of a routine to our life here in Ufa.  I work mornings then we typically meet up to make some type of trip out in the afternoon or evening to explore, shop for groceries, or whatever.  Grocery shopping can be cumbersome due to our specific likes & wants along with our requirement of public transportation.  While there are many little markets within blocks of our apartment, it frequently requires trips to at least 3 to pull together the required products for a meal. One little market has lovely fresh bread, another has nice meat, another a large selection of cheese. I remain cautious and continue to struggle with the packaging and appearance of many of the grocery items.  It is not as simple as pork, beef or even milk (remember, mares milk is a Bashkortostan favorite). While checking the translation for the filling in many of the dumplings you see frozen in the store, it said " meets". I am guessing that means "meats"...but couldn't be sure.

At dinner last night we went to a restaurant that John selected due to their lovely ambiance and English menu. I settled on the smoked salmon and potatoes which was an excellent choice.  The "sweet cooked corn cobs" threw me alittle but am thinking it was surely "corn on the cob"...right?
The weather is steadily getting cooler and we heard there was snow in Kazan today.  Our apartment is toasty as they have turned on the registers.  With no controls, when we get too hot we just walk onto the tiled and unheated terrace and open the windows for a bit.
I have downloaded some free movies and documentaries to my computer.  John purchased a cord and has hooked the computer to the TV for us to watch a movie tonight.
I wonder which of the groceries has popcorn???
