My parents just left after visiting town, as a last act we went to Kachka, the Soviet ‘81 cuisine place.

It was good but not as much as I hoped, maybe if I came with a group more down for vodka tastings

Waitress was rocking a glasses and loose-flyaway shoulder braid in a way that looked halfway between wheatfield tradwife and geek girl, and not even in a “hot” style, more like “gawky babushka”, but it was very compelling in a Jenny Lewis way

Made me realize that while in my mind, a disproportionate share of my earliest relationships, best relationships, and crushes have involved Jewish girls, an equally viable way to look at it was they were disproportionately Russian girls

OK, but wth does\u00a0\u201cSoviet\u201d, as opposed to Russian cuisine consist of?

The founder inspired by family meals came from a Belarusian family and they mentioned some of the dishes were Georgian

Admittedly if I’m making this distinction the last paragraph should have been like three paragraphs on nationalities policy in the USSR AND the earlier Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires, but I really just wanted to mention I saw a pretty girl
