Solyanka

Made an attempt to cook Solyanka for a dinner today, but got something completely different due to peculiarities of available components. Pickled cucumbers and Chinese sausages were sweet. Bouillon wasn’t thick enough. On a positive side, I had two types of chillies. As a result I created very nice sweet, sour and spicy soup. Eating the dinner was equivalent to a visit to sauna.

It seems Russian state institutes when hiring giving preferences to retards, it took them almost 8 months to print a new passport.

Just upgraded Ubuntu to 11.10. First impression very disappointing. Unity looks like completely unusable, and installation of gnome-panel doesn’t really saves situation – it’s ugly. Currently looking for solution with gnome, or maybe will upgrade to Xubuntu. This version IMO is a big step back in usability.

Very nice hotel in Bangkok. And not expensive.
