Sauerkraut is not a Russian dish, it is more German. Fermented cabbage is Russian. Guess what, I made borsht yesterday, but I forgot to buy beets, so it doesn’t have any. But I still consider it borsht. So, your H’s declaration that any beef soup can be considered borsht if you put beets in it goes out of the window, haha.

Actually, there is a lot of different Russian food that is quite good. My H liked most of it, with some exceptions. So, I would not count on your H to get tired of it. You never know thought. I think if I would cook Russian food every day, my H would scream a blo@dy murder, LOL. My Irish friend in Mexico is married to a Mexican woman. He’s been living there for a number of years now, but he still cannot handle Mexican food every single day. He has to have his spuds (potatoes) and butter. He also loves curry, like most Europeans do.

TVS is into something here, about the booties. What if you would ask H to ask RT to make you the matching pair? Just a thought…

Well, Rosa, there are lots of funny responses here. And they night not feel appropriate for you right now. There is definitely something going on in your H’s head. Like I said before (I think) that he is trying to build his fantasy worlds as close to home as possible. I don’t know if any of your actions would change it though. He has to live it for a while. I almost guarantee you, it will not last long. I think he is desperately looking for a solution of the mess he has created. RT pushes him, but he doesn’t want to take any action, so he is doing all these weird things just to pretend that he is doing something about it.

Wishing you a lot of patience. And, yes, I like some of the advice to shake it up a little.
