Please note: ATG is “traveling” this week along “Rose’s Ridge” in another “realm” – we’ll be back at the “table” next week!

Until then: With all of the winter storms snuggle up with a good Russian Spy Novel: Red Sparrow – a 2013 classic spy thriller by Jason Matthew, a veteran CIA officer with  over 30 years as an officer of the CIA’s former Operations Directorate  now known as the National Clandestine Service. It will transport you into the James Bond-esque world of secret operations and clandestine meetings in far-flung exotic places. And as an extra the author provides authentic Russian recipes, such as chicken Kiev and Schchi (Russian Cabbage Soup), that tantalize your culinary Russian imagination.
