This post serves two purposes: my condolences and a request
I have been trying to keep up with everything that is going on in Russia, and I'm very sorry for all of your losses and your current situation. I wish more than anyone that we could all live in a peaceful world, and it's saddest when the people caught in the crossfire are innocent people, especially children. What these people have done is disgusting and barbaric, and nothing they could want could possibly be more important than the lives of those 150+ children killed simply for going to school. I wish that there was more that I could do, but I don't really think I can do any more than to say that I care.
I also have a request, though I feel incredibly selfish for asking this given what I'm sure a lot of you are going through right now. I'm currently in an International Relations class and we have a culture project due next week for a country of our choosing (of course I badgered people until I got Eastern Europe as my region and was able to chose Russia as my country ^_^). I thought it might be fun to bake or bring in a Russian dessert to share with the class, but can't really find too many good recipes online (either because they are way too advanced for a n00b like me when it comes to cooking, or because I wouldn't be able to get all the materials easily, or because it just isn't something that can be taken to school and distributed to 30-some-odd teens.)
Can someone please either 1) give me the recipe to a simple, practical (can take to school, give to 30 kids, easy to make, easy to get the materials for, etc.) for a good Russian dessert or
2) Tell me about one of them (I honestly don't even know what any of them are) so that I can just go out and buy them lol.
Thank you, and again, I'm very sorry...
