Hello Moira

Thank you for your letter. I enjoy reading it. Sorry, I did not answer at once. I was very busy with my routine.

In your letter, you asked me about our national cuisine and my preferences.  

I do not like cooking. I think it is not my thing as I usually spoil food instead of making something tasty. I think the traditional Russian meal is pelmeny. Even though it originated in Syberia, all Russian people love it. Some have a family tradition to gather together in the kitchen to make pelmeny. People make pelmeny using dough and stuffing its small pieces with grounded meat; then, they boil them for 7-10 minutes.

Actually, not all Russian people eat borsch and kasha every day because the variety of tasty food is significant. Since borsch and kasha ingredients are widely available and relatively cheap, many families have to eat them because of low economic status.  

How often do you visit your grandparents? What do you usually do together? Are there any sights in Brighton?

Well, I'd better go now as I have to do my homework.  

I am looking forward to your new letter.

Your pen-friend,
