Ocean Plastic Adidas Bottoms

 Pair of me red Adidas bottoms - Parley ocean plastic - the fabric not too bad.

Up to 95% made with plastic recovered from the ocean.






In Vino: Marques de Caceres

 That was some good wine well drunk.

The red crianza in particular is rated 92 by James Suckling.


Wonderful the first 2 minutes and couple of big swallows then subsides and drinks like regular table wine.


Very animalistic.

Dined at G.U.M. on Red Square, USSR Cuisine Revisited

 About two weeks ago went to dine basically in the Kremlin - at the State Department Store (GUM) on Red Square, the largest in the world, and the oldest too.




This the place I had lunch - Stolovaya No. 57 at GUM - since 1957 but in a 2007 reincarnation.

It specializes in USSR cuisine - the best cuisine there is - and I have tried everything, so here goes: a kharcho soup bowl, meatballs with mashed potatoes, dressed herring ("under a fur coat") salad, a fast cabbage roll, meat pie, a citrus salad (dessert) and two glasses of compote.


Very filling, didn't have dinner .
