in a wood-burning oven; as a second course, i suggest preparing baked potato babka in a natural casing. to begin with, we take the meat, put it in the joint, like that. we don’t season the meat with anything, neither salt nor pepper , we’ll do everything at the end, that is, we just put it on the bottom, now we throw in the potatoes, then we put in the mushrooms, oh, well, they certainly look very appetizing, followed by the mushrooms samir puts carrots and onions into the pumpkin, i think it’s perfect combination. and we put it in the oven for about 30 minutes, well, accordingly, that is , we’ll see how the heat goes on with us, and accordingly, for the pumpkin, it should be soft and baked,

i see victoria is just in full swing with work, but you know , and we here with our cooks are not bored either, so we have prepared curry and lamb, we have prepared mashed potatoes. oil, it will also have such a very aggressive and interesting taste, and we will also have more. by the way, you can also use truffle oil, such an easy adjustment, these are fried tomatoes cherry with spinach, now that all the ingredients are prepared, we can send our lamb to the frying pan, i can already smell this delicious aroma while our pumpkin... is baking, we move on to the second dish, we need to grate the potatoes onto a fine grater, i prepared lard in advance , fried it with onions, it turns out, spices, yes, spices, we will make a filling for our shell, then we will stuff it, accordingly, potato

babka is one of the most popular and favorite dishes of belarusian cuisine, but in such interpretation i will be doing it for the first time. we put everything on a baking sheet , it turns out, well, accordingly, and we somehow use oil to put it on something or on parchment, no, it’s better to sprinkle it with oil, it turns out that there will be a beautiful crust, super, well, we send it, friends, we are reaching the finish line, all our ingredients are ready, now we need to decorate the dish, so mikhail, the most important part, because of course it should not only be... tasty, but look beautiful, we add the finishing touches and voila, our a beautiful, truly new year's dish is ready, we can definitely

continue to build our route around the new year’s capital. performances, performances, christmas trees, matinees, during the new year holidays , theaters prepare their best productions for the audience, and i have a unique opportunity to get into the looking glass of the big theater, let's go, maxim, what is so unusual hidden behind the scenes of the big theater, we make it ourselves in the theater costumes, we make soft decorations, hard decorations. soburia, we have , for example, a workshop where we make the shoes we need, we have workshops where we make some kind of sculpture, and this is probably one of the most interesting and magical aspects of the theater in general, when our artists with their own hands create incredible

beauty, scenery, performances, it sounds intriguing, so let’s quickly open the curtain, masha, we are now in painting. our workshop here creates soft the decorations for the performances are fabric decorations, our artists paint them by hand, and it is thanks to the decorations that fairy-tale surroundings are created, in the kiev museum of national cultures the batleyka folk puppet theater is already in full swing, the theatrical performance is

about to begin, let's hurry up. the people's puppet theater in iwie is a real center of art therapy . today , not only children, but also adults enjoy the plays of the botleyka of the museum of national cultures. and i’m glad your hautur song is sung. how are you not maulyat, so do i for you. the roof is right, i bet you looked higher , right, on the very right, how could it be

higher than the sky, here is what we have below the earth, baked, since there is a sky, earth, then go straight up - it baked, and for now vika is enjoying the battle art, i continue my fascinating journey through the backstage of the big theater, it turns out that in order to sew one performance, the sewing workshop takes months of work, and each... is individual, the sketches are created by our costume designers, production designers, then the designers are in the next office , and they are trying to implement them, put them into practice, yes, that is, make some patterns, and cut out the fabric, because sometimes the artist’s thoughts fly very far, yes, in reality it can be quite difficult to assemble, that’s a task it is up to the designer to decide how to assemble it, and here in these workshops the final assembly of the costumes takes place, for example, one master for a performance. can make up to 18 suits. the theater platform of the bolshoi theater

deserves special attention; it is equipped with the latest technology, which allows you to realize any of the director’s most unusual fantasies. and there are no more similar scenes in belarus. our stage is one of the largest, by the way, in europe 596 m2, this is the area of ​​​​only the main stage. also, our stage has a replaceable covering, there is a covering with a turntable, a turning ring, and a ballet covering, well, in addition, our stage is transformer, it can change its architecture. maxim, i haven’t been under the stage yet. and indeed, you and i are located under our stage platform, we have it as a transformer, divided into 21 lifting and lowering platforms, and these platforms can rise either 4.5 m above the stage level or drop 3.5 m below its level. thanks to this, we create different architectures and can silently change very quickly. for example, our performance venues have holes in the platforms , thanks to which our art can

unexpectedly appear on stage or disappear unexpectedly. to be honest, i was very impressed by the excursion. i can say with confidence that from this side i saw the theater for the first time. a very interesting excursion, i will definitely return here in the new year, but as a spectator, the theater season promises to be very exciting.

make a spring and celebrate the christmas tree. bringing our capital with you is also an excellent option, i think, i completely agree with vika, i really love handmade things, because each such product has its own soul, its own character, its own history, but of course, there is such diversity in the head goes around and you can get confused, as they say,

the best gift is one that is made with your own hands, exactly according to... elena, will i really be able to make such beauty myself, of course, of course, now together with you we will make a cotton toy, a fly agaric, for this we will need everything very simply, we need a sheet of foil like this, first we make a hat, yeah, just crumple it. crumple, crumple and shape approximately so that there is a hole inside, so that we can then insert the leg there, now we are making the leg, again we will need the same sheet with faux paper and just crumple it again like this so that you get a lump like this.

now we take ordinary cotton wool and tear ribbons like this, i’ll give it to you now, uh-huh, this is actually a very simple technique, uh-huh, all you need is your hands, cotton wool, glue and foil, and while masha is making toys from cotton wool, we are imagining made of straw, and i can already see how my future souvenir should turn out, but to be honest, so far

irina is coping with all these threads on her own, in my hands everything literally falls apart. i hope everything works out for masha. vika, i don’t want to brag, of course, but not a single mushroom was harmed in my master class. we work together with elena in a well-coordinated manner. with the help of an awl like this and a suspension, i don’t know what it’s called, a construction thing. let's make a hole here. when everything is dry, then screw it in and we will have such a mushroom ready, and it’s nice to understand that the toys on this very new year tree were made with love and with our own hands. i completely agree with you, masha, handmade new year’s toys are not only an opportunity to make your christmas tree different from others, but also the great pleasure

that can be obtained from the process of creating them. now i can boast of my... it is here, according to the good old tradition , that grandfather frost meets children and parents on new year's holidays. on new year's eve, you especially want to believe in a miracle, that grandfather frost will definitely fulfill your most cherished wish. i have this, i just need to deliver it
