Farewell

Well folks, today is the day. Welcome to the end. We are glad to have brought you a little slice of Russian heaven, while the opportunity was present. I know many of you have expressed great remorse at our closing, but when it's time to move on, it's time. We simply did not have enough resources to sustain ourselves, but perhaps if you do we can sell you the trailer. It'll be a lot of work, but that's simply always the case with any investment. Anyway, we're keeping it really simple today. Our last menu:

Baked Piroshki:
*Samsa- petit lamb onion

Deep-fried Piroshki:
*Beef Onion
*Potato Onion

Dessert:
*Ponchiki- deep-fried donuts

Wrapping up

Good morning everyone. Welcome to another day of Oly Piroshki, something I will soon no longer be able to say. Yes, you do hear right, we are approaching our final days of Oly Piroshki. A short-lived, yet beautiful addition to the cuisine of Olympia. But more importantly of local and organic food. Though we won't be around much longer, do remember to eat as much nutritious food as is available to you. And know that "organic" is not supposed to be a buzz word, but a direct representation of the fuel you are feeding your body and living off of. The most important investment you can make is to eat local, organic foods- it is one way to protect our ecosystem, our local farmers, our health, and the planet we live on. There's definitely much to be done before organic foods are widely available to all people of all income levels and before there is no longer a need to distinguish between "organic" and "conventional" foods, but it is something we should strive for. Food should not be about convenience or simply about taste (though I do love tasty food!), but rather nutrition and sustainability. The web is vast, and we should stop putting it all on ourselves as individuals to change the food system, but remember to hold lawmakers and corporations accountable and demand that our food is not laced with chemicals are factory farms remotely acceptable. So buy CSAs, go to your farmers market,speak up when you can, get involved. In the mean time, our menu:

Fried Piroshki:
*Potato Onion
*Potato Smoked Pork
*Chicken Stroganoff

Baked Piroshki:
*Samsa

Soup:
*Borscht

Special:
*Piroshki and Soup Combination Dealio

Beverage:
*Cherry Apple Kompot

Hello all you fine Olympia folk. Sorry for the delay in posting this morning, we've simply been battling the oven's temperamental nature. It has made a temporary agreement to stay at the temperature we desire, but we are not sure how long this agreement will hold. The baked goods are very much so dependent on steady hot temperatures, which we were failing to achieve yesterday afternoon. We'll see how it goes today. But, as everyone who has already tried them knows, are deep-fried piroshki are absolutely delicious and very nutritious (being made with wholesome ingredients and fried in good-for-your-heart rice bran oil). And upon request we will fry the chicken stroganoff and creamy mushroom piroshki. Well here is our tentative menu, assuming the oven will continue to maintain.

Baked Piroshki:

*Samsa- petit lamb onion
*Creamy Mushroom
*Chicken Stroganoff

Deep-fried Piroshki:

*Beef Onion
*Potato Onion

Soup:

*Borscht

Desserts:

*Deep-fried Berry Bite
*Ponchiki- powdered sugar donuts

Sunshine with piroshki

Happy Thursday everyone. Currently enjoying some eighties music while sauteing up onions. Joyous times all around. Also, has anyone seen the sun today? If not, I recommend going outside and soaking up some good ole' Olympia rays. It really is all anyone can talk about when the sun is out in this town. I sometimes wonder about the dynamic in places that are constantly sunny, like is there as much of a commentary? Any who. When you are strolling about, come on over to the piroshki stand, it'll be great. You can even request the borscht cold (which is how I often eat my borscht) and slurp it up with a savory treat. Have a great day everyone!
