Privet!

Do you still have a lot of cucumbers -- ogurtzi -- hanging around in your kitchen? FYI -- they're chock full of potassium and beta carotene!

It's the perfect time to indulge in some delicious and healthy cucumber soup called okroshka or Russian cold cucumber soup. It's easy to make and good to eat!
