Yes, I did love the blinis, and so much more, reporting this story for @AFARmedia on how Uzbekistan sheltered my family during WWII. Much more to come in my book, but you'll have to wait two years for that!

7/ The crowd is a well-preserved mix of old hippies, activists, townies, professors, and various other over-60s who simply cannot stop rocking. They call themselves the "Silver Tsunami," and they are the subject of my newest piece: nytimes.com/2023/01/12/style…
"Vietnamese-Cajun crawfish doesn't have any actual roots in Vietnam; it's a Southern food through and through. Like Tex-Mex or Creole cuisine, it was born on American soil through a specific set of circumstances at a particular moment in time."
