I love dogs. I have a lab. I am from Florida. I live on a busy street in Florida half the time and Toronto the other half. I like the ocean. I prefer Florida to Toronto.
I have a Beagle. I used to have a Shepard mix.  I live in Florida. My parents came from Russian.  I speak Russian. I am a chef. I run a Russian restaurant  since three years ago.   I learned a lot from my mother.  I prefer Florida to Russia. I love McDonald's. I am from Russia and lived there as a baby. I have visited Russia after moving away.
I tried out some of the recipes that you directed me to! And what did you think of them? Did they live up to your satisfaction? They sure did. I thought they were excellent recipes. I have never tried any of those Russian delicacies before now, and it was such a nice surprise to discover how delicious everything is! I understand why your restaurant is doing well! Yes, it's doing great. Next time you are in Florida, come down to restaurant! My beets & vodka soup is the bomb :) I definitely will! I'm going to try and wrap up my Toronto time a little early and get back to Florida before the mid-year point. I want to get back to the warm weather, and the dogs do, too. And the soup sounds yummy! I have been many times to Toronto but the cold reminds me too much of home. I like the warmth of FLorida and the people are friendly. I completely agree! Toronto's great in so many ways, but the cold limits and complicates things to such a huge degree. I'm anxious to get back to the beach and enjoy the ocean again. Do you have someone that you enjoy it with? In Russia we don't have much in the way of beaches so it's not very enjoyable :( Yeah, I've got a couple of people I go with -- my "beach buddies," as I call them. But I don't mind going by myself either. A lot of times, I bring the dog with me. He's great company -- typical lab, you know? They love the water! My beagle is a bit shy and likes to stay at home instead. Sometimes I take him to the restaurant and let him just sleep in my office! He loves Russian food too, that's why he's so fat!
