Mongolian dumpling, filled with beef, resembled a Finnish piirakka and outside breading is exactly the same mixture of rye flour my mother used ....

Mongolia looks like a very different and interesting place! How are you enjoying it so far? Do you go out on yurts soon?
ReplyDeletelove Sarah
They are actually called gers in Mongolia .... yurts is a Russian word for them .... and yes, hope to sleep in a few of them soon! It truly is such a vast country, and distances long and far between villages, ger or otherwise .... still don't know if I will make it to any part of the Gobi region .... have had a few trips cancelled by tour providers .... working on it though! Nice chatting this morning Sarah .... more later. love you, mom
