After dinner...

alexpgpDinner was at a fast-food, stand-up place called Teremok [Теремок] on Tverskaya (once known as Gorky Street). It appealed to me, despite the dearth of furniture for customers, by offering buckwheat groats [гречневая каша] and blintzes [блины] filled with all sorts of goodies. I had the groats with mushrooms and a blintz with smoked salmon, all for 100 rubles.
There is a saying that "you can't ruin groats with too much butter" ["кашу маслом не испортишь"], and the portion I received was proof. It was m-m-mm good, except for the fact that off the top of my head, there are few foods that are more carbohydrate-rich. I like to think that fact is mitigated by the fact that these are not "empty" carbs such as one would get out of a Mars bar.
The blintz was good, too, but I'm thinking it may have been too much.
On the way back from dinner, I strolled down Kamergerskiy Pereulok (which is where this cafe is located) and saw a number of foreigners sitting outside of several restaurants that line the street on both sides. (Note to self: There is a Tibetan restaurant here, for future reference.) I'm wondering just which of these I will be supporting for the next several weeks.
I feel like getting something to drink (not necessarily alcoholic) and drifting back toward the hotel. The real work of the trip starts tomorrow.
Cheers...
