I need help translating the text from a Russian poster. For one, it's way above my level of Russian language experience, and that is more intimidating than you know. For another, it has these funny letters that I don't think are part of the alphabet anymore ('yat' mean anything to anyone? I used a '+' to signify where they go, because I don't have that character on my keyboard). I've got the first few parts, but I'm getting more and more confused as I go along. If someone could help out a little, that would be awesome.

Also, by virtue of the poster's age and the font that was used during its printing, I couldn't tell the difference between the hard and soft signs. So I just kinda guessed. I'll try to get a photocopy of the poster up here some time, just because it actually looks pretty cool. But for now, this is all I got.


( Any help is appreciated. )

It's that time again! As some of you may remember, my international relations class has "cultural celebrations" every so often... where we each bring in food/music/games/stories/etc from the countries that we chose at the beginning of the year. Every helped me last time with some great recipes and things that I provided. I made these cookies that i believe were called "Suvarov Cookies" or something, and they turned out great!

Now I need to make something by Wednesday... this is significantly shorter notice than before and I don't have the time to make anything as complicated as those cookies from scratch.

Can anyone give me any ideas for Russian foods or desserts that I can make in pretty short notice (I.E. tomorrow afternoon). Thank you so much if you can help me!
