I never thought that there is a topic and Food ... so Pancake Day and so beautiful, poetic and artistic announced the - would be more in our media such announcements. publications and reproductions mn.
perhaps it is still subject to food should be added, but not help myself. from simple retseptika:

Wheat flour (you can, in principle. ... And pancakes to use) - 2 cups, eggs - 2-3 pc., Milk - ½ liters., Sugar - 2 tbsp. spoon, salt to taste. often add a little soda and slaked directly into the dough - a little podsoln. oil.
Whips eggs, salt, sugar as partially a glass of milk. Then add the flour and remaining milk, knead all quickly. Fry immediately. It is essential to warm up a good frying pan, grease or lard to fry it in butter (you can not pour oil, and coat half of potatoes - and then the potato - skorvorodku - well, this is the old way). Ready pancakes necessarily lubricates and butter.
Most of this recipe husband and daughter are preparing. By - simple. I still love a bit more complicated - with yeast dough do.
But most of all I like stuffing. And a boiled egg with butter and onions, and farshmak, all sorts of insinuations with a red fish, caviar, and mn.

History painting Surikova "Capture of snow town"
Written after the monumental historical paintings painting "The Capture of snow town" - the only work Surikova domestic product.

Artwork created in Krasnoyarsk, where the painter lived for almost fifteen years. April 8, 1888 his wife died Surikov. In the early summer of 1889 Surikov and her daughters went to Krasnoyarsk, where he lived until the fall of 1890. In Krasnoyarsk, the artist creates a painting "Snow Town Capture" (completed in 1891, is stored in the Russian Museum). The loss of a loved one at the time alienated from the artist's paintings. Only in Siberia, surrounded by family cares, little by little he began to recover. Nature, simple and healthy life revived in its creative power.

The peculiarity of life in Siberia, the flashing colors of winter, daring Cossack youth - these vivid impressions, preserved in the soul of an artist since childhood, now revived with new strength and formed the basis of the new creation wizard.

The plot pattern - a familiar old Surikov festive game of the Siberian Cossacks. On the final day of carnival was constructed a snow fort that was to take the mock battles. Flocked to the amusement of the numerous participants and spectators. Some of them tried to break through to the fortress, while others defend it, and others with like interest in the contest dashing daredevils.

Game "Capture of snow town" Surikov first saw in early childhood on the road to his village mother Torgoshino. The idea of painting the artist gave his younger brother Alexander. He is depicted on the right of the picture, standing in a leader. For a leader sits, shown in profile Ekaterina Rachkovskaya - wife of a famous doctor of Krasnoyarsk. Snowy town was built in the courtyard of the estate Surikov. Participated in the crowd of peasants from the village Bazaikha.

"The capture of snow town" at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1900, received a nominal medal.
