Excuse my ignorance…I saw a vid somewhere where Marina was doing ’shashlik’ (my phoentic spelling) in the Russian tradition, in the outdoors.

I had the great pleasure to do this with close Russian friends and partners on the banks of the Volga in Yaroslavl in maybe 1994…

One of the happiest memories of my life…it rained and my $2,000 Italian suit was ruined before we huddled back into the Van…

I still remember the 1 gallon glass jar our Host’s wife had prepared and marinated for the Pork in for our feast…

Of course the Vodka was flowing…just as we do in the States for a BBQ.

I never made it to Nizshny – but I would probably have been arrested for taking notice of Marina at that time…

My point of all this is simply that I have been touched here in ways I had never thought possible, and I know that many others feel the same way…

It goes way beyond some word origins – if that strikes a chord somewhere…

• You are correct – most people now days just ‘grill cook’.

  ‘Barbeque’ style cooking involves slow roasting meats over low heat, sometimes over many hours – and there are a variety of spices and techniques used – many competing styles used in the US.

  People still refer to ‘having a Barbeque’ – or BBQ for the event of simply grilling meat because the term ‘Barbeque Grill’ is used generically for the Grill that you cook on.

  You can cook in the Barbeque style on most any covered Grill – but most people simply grill a steak or burger or hot dog, and say they had a BBQ.

  Good Point Che! The terms ARE used sloppily.

  I make my living in the Renewable Energy Business – mainly Solar Facilities.

  All I want to say is that the information presented by our leaders is quite distorted and driven by Political Agenda far more than fact!

  Life has those bitter and sweet moments.

  I find that it’s the [tapestry] woven from the differing threads of experience that give character to our existence.

  That’s not even a quote from someone else – I made it up!

  Point being – I think our dear Teacher willl remember the struggles of achievement with as much fondness as the easier moments as the years go by.

  I know I have!

  Didn’t that horrible 3 months include some time on a Mega-Yacht on the French Riviera?

  Marina is the greatest! I like her.
