The most beautiful week of the whole winter is Maslenitsa. First, because you can eat pancakes 24/7 and do it in a variety of ways. For example, start with the “basic” red, black and pike caviar, step up with foie gras, and on Sunday eat cannelle from pancake batter and burn the Maslenitsa figurine directly on the plate. Second, because this is officially the last week of winter (but not sleet underfoot). An internal timer opens in the head: how many days are left to bare knees.
This year Shrovetide came out particularly wide, it was very difficult to choose even 15 offers. The pancake butter will now stay on the lips of The Fashion Vibes columnist Anya Baturina for a long time, but it was worth it.
Be careful, repeating this feat is dangerous for the waist and hips, but until the next time it’s another year – you will have time to lose weight.
And let only Maslenitsa be wide in your life, not a priest.
