thanks to all of you who helped me out with my poem problems. It turned out to be Утес by Михаил Лермонтов.

Sadly, it is our final day of russian class on friday, and we are all celebrating with a pot luck. So do you guys have any suggestions on what I should make for the pot luck? Im looking for something easy, that I can't screw up, perhaps a cake?

Утес by Михаил Лермонтов is not about sunset!

opps! '...тучка золотая...' I thought it was describing a sunset

Stroganoff is actually pretty easy, especially if you get one of those crock-pot dealies that puts it all together for you. :)

Try салат оливье a.k.a Russian potato salad.

5-6 medium potatoes, 1-2 medium carrots, boiled in jacket
1-2 hard-boiled eggs
1 onion, 1 apple - raw
some boiled chicken breast or bologna (about 1/2 cup when diced)
canned green peas, about 1/2 cup, drained
2-3 medium pickles

peel and dice everything (do not peel pickles though) into small cubes, the smaller the better
add salt, pepper and mayonnaise

Навеяло / have been evoked :-)

- But you know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup?
- What?
- Mayonnaise.
- Ya-a-a-k-k

olovieh... I don't if that's the right spelling, but it's a bunch of raw veggies, eggs and what not with mayonaise... in simple words.

look it up.
it's yummy!

it's not olOvieh, it's оливье, and I have just given a recipe for it ;-)

the transliteration is kind of variable...

ok... so technically olivie is the eastern european veresion and olovie is the spelling of the central asian (iraqi, irani...etc) version.

I'm surrounded by both cultures.
sometimes it's confusing.

P.S. and it is certainly not made of RAW veggies

Olivier. It was invented by Lucien Olivier.
