This is my first time making a Russian borscht. I've been feeling under the weather with strep, and am a major soup-lover. I decided to make this borscht for me and my two male carnivorous roommate's. They're not usually the easiest to please, but they both loved this as much as I did. :) The only changes I made in keeping with the red theme are red potatoes and purple onions. I also added a bit more dill. I recommend this recipe to anyone! :)

I don't think the leftovers will be a problem! Today is my boyfriend's 26th birthday. I have had so much fun getting his cake together. I used two recipes Heavenly Chocolate Mousse, and Heavenly White Cake. He's mixed race and all his friends call him Panda bear. So, I made a black and white cake. I used the mousse as the filling. My only change was instead of water I used McDonalds hazelnut chilled coffee... and in the cake I used extra almond extract. I've never made a cake from stratch before, and I am so pleased. Also, yesterday as kind of a date I added food colouring to pieces of marzipan... and made little pandas. I told him whoever's were better in the end could go on his cake. It's beautiful thank you! I'm sure his friend's will love it!
