Pelmeni, traditional dumplings that hold a near-sacred place in the hearts of the Siberian people inhabiting the Ural mountains, have made their way to convenience stores and the freezer sections of grocery stores all across Russia and Eastern Europe. But the modern convenience food and even homemade versions of pelmeni bare little resemblance to the traditional pelmeni recipe of the Urals which calls for a long, slow souring of dough. It’s a slow food in the best of terms, deeply ethnic, slowly tended over days and making the best use of foods native to the region: dill, cultured cream, fresh whey, wheat and an assortment of meats.

‭Reporting in ‬ the June issue of Antiquity, archaeologist Marc Azéma of the University of Toulouse–Le Mirail in France and independent French artist Florent Rivère argued that by about‭ ‬30,000‭ ‬years ago Paleolithic artists used “animation effects” in their paintings. To render the movement, they deconstructed it in successive images.

Can anyone in the Michigan/northern Ohio area (or reasonably close to it) adopt this adorable bunny? He was found under a porch, lost, and no one claimed him, so his rescuer needs to rehome him! More details here.

Four days of roofers and cleaning up everyone’s vomit. UGH. There is no end in sight.

Downton Abbey had better be good tonight. No more of this “tidily cleaning up all those loose ends so that everyone can be brilliantly happy.”
