Technogypsy is back from taking his kid hunting (we have a similar program in Wisconsin, but it's run by a private individual and his dog, Rocco) and has posted the 73rd Recipe Carnival. It turns out I was not the only one to contribute a borscht recipe. The version from In The Headlights includes the one detail missing from mine. It turns out that the correct bone, the one with a joint on the end, is a shinbone. Had Beth not launched the Carnival I might never have known that.

Never used raisins, and I don't usually add sugar to recipes that ask for it. After I posted I realized that I can also make beef stroganoff. Maybe I'll save that for NEXT Russian Christmas.
Cheers.
