LoL, I wish I had a summer house. I'd have to move to Florida to have a real summer house though. Yesterday it was close to 59° , today a little cooler and raining. Late or wee hours of Sunday morning it's going to snow then ice. I wish it hadn't rained especially so much because we get a lot of black ice on the roads and they become dangerous to drive on. It's called black ice because on the black asphalt they use to make our roads, interstates out of, when it ices you don't see the ice until you hit the ice patches. I live in North Alabama.
Lol, my house is my summer , spring , winter ,fall ( autumn) house! Tonight it’s quite cold here in Northeast USA.. I’m lucky to have a fireplace in my home .I think tonight I’m making a 🔥 as it’s 14 *F and going lower…I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for sharing. Stay warm. The food looks delicious !
We cook and heat with our wood stove. don't have to but it's fun to cook on the stove and wood is cheap to heat with. My days off I like to make fried eggs and cheese with toast right on the stove oh and bacon cooks so good on there to.
this was so interesting. your videos let us see how others live . i love the summer home and the cooking was fantastic. you can give me a nice plate of that food. i have to say you look just like your mother she is such a beautiful person to let us see this. thank you so much.
Wow, you and your mom are amazing for enduring such cold to make that meal to share us! Thank you. I've never had food made on a Russian stove, but I've always considered food made on a camp fire to be so much more delicious than food at home, made in a regular oven.
Having found your channel I am intrigued. As an South African woman exposed to rural places your life in the villages is so different we have sun about 90% of the year but other challenges. The USSR managed to keep the Russian cultures vibrant. Life does look hard though, I can’t even imagine such cold weather😢I like the don’t complain culture I see on your videos God Bless you🧚♀️
Enjoyed your video. We loved your Mom's dacha. The dish you cooked looked delicious. We always look forward to watching your new videos. Keep up the good work.
I greatly enjoy seeing how people live. I find all aspects of someone's culture to be most interesting but food seems to be the universal language of humanity.
Real food always tastes fantastic. Hard to believe there are people on this planet that have only eaten processed food. Thank you for letting us peer into the nooks and crannies of your life. Looking forward tp your next episode as always.
My Polish grandmother made her homemade chicken soup with home made noodles. She also pickled her own cucumbers and cabbages. This made me want some now😋
Black tea with jam sounds amazing. This I need to try. It is also cold here in Sweden but we have it a bit warmer inside. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing
Smoke from the fire imparts flavor. Charring certain foods allows the sugars to caramelize. Extra flavor - yum. Stay safe and continue to hold on to what is dear to you.
Ksenia, you and your Mom are so really brave and tough to go out out in the cold . Your food look yummy. Thank you for the video. You're becoming my favorite Russian vlogger!
My great grandmother moved into town from their farm in Southern Illinois. In town they had a summer kitchen which was in the cellar for cooking on the hot summer days....their heating was an iron pot bellied stove with mica windows.
You should keep such a Russian fire place ,It will become more rare,and did great work in the past.And could be very handy in the future,when modern stuff don't work.nice video
Los Angeles barely has rains, never snow. Loves to see your videos, the way you brought it up so fun ! Happy. By the way the front entrance porch has to be with handrail to avoid any incident fall off specially elderly like your mother
This reminds me of when my parents, brother, and I went to a large park an hour or so from our home. It was in autumn and cold. There were roofed pavilions with fireplaces and we cooked potatoes and corn on the cob right on the fire. It was the best. Thank you for your lovely videos of Russia and your family. Best wishes from Western New York, US.
It looks like enduring all the cold weather was worth it to have such a wonderful feast. I would gladly go to all the trouble to have such a delicious meal. No restaurant could compete...but they should try, people would pay a lot of money for the taste of an oven-cooked meal. Thanks for posting...
Thank you for braving the cold to show us how you prepare this food. Love the cauldron. Really enjoy seeing your mom in the videos. It was kind of her to help you out so that we could enjoy seeing this video.
Nice! Talk about cooking a meal fresh and all the way from scratch, even the fuel had to be prepared. A very fascinating video on how things used to be done for millennia. Your mother is very awesome.
Good for you, Ksenia, and your Mom to go to the cottage for a day. Your meal looks wonderful and I am sure it tastes great too - that is my kind of meal. Good idea to get back into the warm apartment so that you can enjoy it better. Eating in your heavy coats is not so much fun!! 😂 Thanks for the video!!
This recipe is very nice and so are you ladies very nice. In our family sometimes we cooked with beef instead of chicken. We also put in a pressure cooker. Many years ago we cooked this in outside cast iron wood stove, we only put one bay leaf. The one who finds the bay leaf has to clean the pots
Thank you so much, for sharing this honest, warm and wonderful video from your Summer house (Dacha) with your mom. So interesting how to see they way you are cooking in the Russian oven, I bet your meal was so tasty. Always a pleasure to watch your videos, St.Petersburg - me. Your great personality add a lot of warm feelings to your videos. I'm so much looking forward to watch your next videos!!!
My mom had a recipe for what she called goulash. It was macaroni, minced beef , corn, tomato, onion. We always loved it when I was a kid ! I will try your recipe soon !
Very rich in comfort and tummy satisfying meal ideas..I bet your Mother adores having her daughter home for the holiday weeks...nothing like a son or daughter visiting MaMa...My Mother always used her Pressure Cooker back in the 50s 60s and 70s for the most delicious Beef Stew to be sure...Warm memories...Peace & Safety for you and your Mother......
I love cooking with cast iron. Food taste so much better. I like goulash to. Please tell your mom hello and thank her for sharing your day with us. I would really love to visit Russia one day.
New English word for you Ksenia. The little sticks chopped as a fire starter, are called kindling! What a lovely goulash. It looks delicious and all the better for being cooked in the fire.
Your cooking looks still organic. If from Belarus you can compile an electronic cookbook we will find a way to buy so that you can continue at least earning little money,
Great video, you and your mum are amazing to go and cook the meal in the traditional Russian oven, braving all that cold weather. Thank you for sharing it with us
I miss the living in summer house! My family doesn't own it anymore but I miss growing my own vegetables! Your goulash recipe seems so tasty. 😋 Of course food made with real fire tastes different!
You and your mother may be 6000 miles from me, but you are making me very hungry....lol Thank you for sharing, say hello to your mother from all of your subscribers all over the world.
Hi Ksenia. The goulash looked tasty! I've always admired the Russian toughest with things we take for granted here in America. Wow...cooking with a heavy coat,scarf and hat awesome😂!
Wow! Its wonderful to see traditional Russian cooking methods...Also,the fact it was so cold while you were preparing the meal with your mother...Lovely video Ksenyia...May God Bless you and your family...Much respect and peace from the Republic of Ireland....👍🇮🇪🇷🇺
I have jam but no more bread and I was thinking of putting jam in my tea. When you said you put plum jam in your tea, I thought, "It is a good idea after all!" I put cherry jam in some sweet/spicy cinnamon orange tea and it's really good!
Greetings from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada! Thank you very much for sharing! I enjoyed every minute of this post! Love the Russian oven. Your Mom is lovely and the Dasha ( spelling??) is a wonderful location. Is this where she has her garden? You are so right, food cooked in wood coals is so much better. I think artificial heat methods change everything. Again thank you for sharing your visit. 🙏💗🙏
I'm from the US, but I remember my Mom cooking on a wood stove even in the heat of summer. We also heated with wood and coal stoves. I just love your videos. I will say you eat so much healthier than we do. I just think you are so down to earth and very likeable. Can't wait for your videos. 👍💕🤩
Your brother does really good work. Please tell your Mom many thanks for being such a good sport. I think she is fabulous. Your video made me so hungry, and I was watching it at midnight. But I will try it stovetop and see how it turns out. Stay warm and Thanks for sharing!
I loved learning about how to cook in the Rusian oven. I need to try jam in my tea. I have cherry jam. Your video reminded me to try it. Thank you for teaching about cooking traditional food.
Wonderful video of your family dacha. I was actually enjoying a cup black tea with plum jam as I watched. I spent two summers in the former USSR - One in Moscow and the other in St. Petersburg in the mid 80's! It is still the best way to enjoy a cup of tea! The only thing better - a taste of your goulash!!!!
Thanks for sharing this totally enjoyable time of yours in your summer house. I always appreciate it when you prepare and cook a meal. Using your traditional Russian oven was fascinating. It's so nice to see you and your mother having a fun time in the cold cottage just to let us learn another interesting old Russian way of preparing a meal. I want to try some hot tea with jam. What a great idea instead of using just plain sugar. Take care and please thank your mother for taking part in your vlog. 🤗❤🙏🌎
Good video. Sampling the snack box as I watch the video. Love how cooking the dish on the old stove and the pot. I finally had to turn my Heat on 2 days ago.
Thanks for a fun video, suffering in the cold for us! It reminds me of how I grew up in an old farmhouse in Montana. We lived off our large garden and butchering animals for meat. Wood stove in the kitchen where we practically lived in the winter though it was a 5 bedroom two story house. We went to the forest to get logs (these were the days you could do that) and sawed and chopped it up for the stove. The bedrooms were so cold that for years I equated weight of blankets to warmth! There was an oil stove in the living room that we fired up if guests were coming or on Christmas when we were in the livingroom. It was a hell of a lot of work and I never want to live that way again, but in some ways it's nostalgic. Thank you again for a great video. The food looked delicious! 👌
Hello, my dear friends! Is it as cold in your summer house?

Most of them in my area are closed up for the winter. If people tried using them they would have frozen water pipes in no time.
We cook and heat with our wood stove. don't have to but it's fun to cook on the stove and wood is cheap to heat with. My days off I like to make fried eggs and cheese with toast right on the stove oh and bacon cooks so good on there to.
Thank you both for putting yourself through that just to show us the Russian oven. Really enjoy you and your Mom giggling together. lol x
Now that’s a true home cooked meal. The meal looks wonderful. God bless you and your mother enduring the cold to have such a meal.

Loved the food! You and your mother should do a video on how she preserves her tomatoes and cucumbers, they looked delicious.
May be in the next summer season!
Yes!

I was like that’s not cold ? -4 fuck that’s cold indoors wow
It must be wonderful to have a Dacha and escape the city, even if it is very cold 🥶
Enjoyed so much! Felt like I was freezing along with you. You are delightful to watch and listen to!
You’re a lovely lady who has a zest for life and her family.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dear Ksenia what an amazing video and all the preparations. You are real survivors in the cold weather. Bless you and your kind mother

As an addon that pot you use is a real keepsake, hope you can find the proper lid for it still. Bet your mom loved doing this video with you.

Thank you so much!
Your mother is good with the camera
Hello from Las Vegas
Great video from Arizona. Always interested in Russian way of life. Thxz👍🏼
The food looks amazing and you’re beautiful!
My great grandmother moved into town from their farm in Southern Illinois. In town they had a summer kitchen which was in the cellar for cooking on the hot summer days....their heating was an iron pot bellied stove with mica windows.
Lovely!
In the U.S. it's called kindling, small pieces of wood or the small pieces that split off when you chop the logs in half to start the fire with,
You should keep such a Russian fire place ,It will become more rare,and did great work in the past.And could be very handy in the future,when modern stuff don't work.nice video
Los Angeles barely has rains, never snow. Loves to see your videos, the way you brought it up so fun ! Happy. By the way the front entrance porch has to be with handrail to avoid any incident fall off specially elderly like your mother
Thank for sharing with us. Yes, I agree food cooked over a fire is so good! Stay warm and enjoy your weekend. 😊💗
Looks delicious! Please do more cooking shows! Especially to use cabbage in them. Thank You

Hello from Sunny Key West Florida it was 87 degrees today! I would love to spend some time in a House like that with all the snow! It’s so beautiful!
This video was an absolute gem!! I learned so much. Stay warm sweet lady!!❤
That looked delicious. I was worried you wouldn't be able to get the pot back out of the oven. Oh + BTW: clean the snow --> clear the snow.
I wish to have a dacha too!

Oh I do miss those -25c days in Gomel! Very nice video.
I agree, food cooked on the fire is better. Thanks for a great video, very informative and your food looked delicious!
Hello from Michigan USA. Looks like northern part of my state.
So, I suppose you have the same weather there and know what it's like.
It looks great. You seemed to enjoy it a lot. Excellent!
Yes, it was fun, cold though.
Great video! Really like your mother's participation.

Oh my gosh, you'll need to sleep in front of the fire! I'm sure the goulash will taste great and will keep you comfortable and warm. 🌡🔥❄🍜
I just watched the end to see you took the goulash home. I'm glad you didn't have to spend the night in the dacha!
Oh no, we don't live in dacha in winter. It's too cold.
Great video. Loved it. No snow in Edinburgh yet. All the best, Colin 😀
Not here in Selkirk...yet.
@@ruthwalket6418 Hi 👋 Ruth 😀
This video seems to demonstrate why this the summer house.
Exactly!
So interesting 😃
That was a great video, Ksenia!

You made me hungry lol. It is 1c here in Yorkshire plus very foggy.
I grew up in Greece and we cooked in similar oven with Wood and yes the food is more tasty . Our house was cold like that too in the winter ❄️🥶🥶.
I’m so excited you taught me to cook this Russian goulash. How wonderful to see you have a close relationship with your mom. Great video!❤️
I'm from the US, but I remember my Mom cooking on a wood stove even in the heat of summer. We also heated with wood and coal stoves. I just love your videos. I will say you eat so much healthier than we do. I just think you are so down to earth and very likeable. Can't wait for your videos. 👍💕🤩

I grew up and still live in Montana. You certainly described beautifully how I grew up also. Cold bedrooms and warm kitchen.
Thank you for sharing your day preparing and enjoying the goulash. I really enjoyed watching. Your mom is so down to earth! 👍🙂
Thank you for sharing Kseniya. I enjoyed learning about the Russian oven and the recipe you made. The food looks delicious.
I love your videos! Greetings from the mountains of North Carolina. We are expecting a big snowstorm any time now. 😊
Be safe! Get warm!
