Maybe some of my friends here could cook something and mail it to me. Do you think I could still eat it after the transport time??Russ McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368376417033439687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516076972678878120.post-16052570814768807372009-11-09T04:04:34.727-06:002009-11-09T04:04:34.727-06:00I found a recipe for Lobiani...I'm going to ha...I found a recipe for Lobiani...I'm going to have to try to make it and see how it turns out!

Can you tell me how you were able to stay here so long? I wish I could do the same.<br /><br />Ha, ha! Yes, after the third shot of vodka, I was really feeling it!

I prefer the latter to the former. Anyway, you need to get here as soon as possible before everything begins to change.

The dumplings are 'Khinkali', and Khachapuri comes in several varieties- each region has it's own specialty.<br />Just a tip- when you're at a supra and headed for a lot of drinking (the Tamada toasts, etc) you'll notice that Georgian men will switch LaurieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474324752009270492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516076972678878120.post-78793671775809009272009-11-07T12:13:47.406-06:002009-11-07T12:13:47.406-06:00Lobiani sounds good...do you know how was it prepa...Lobiani sounds good...do you know how was it prepared?Perla_Margheritanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516076972678878120.post-52485221451061618902009-11-07T10:28:05.486-06:002009-11-07T10:28:05.486-06:00Caye, I'm so happy to hear that!
