the variety of products on store shelves today gives the buyer unlimited freedom of choice, but it’s easy to get lost in this variety. we know our way around a hypermarket well, so we start choosing products. let's start with the vegetable department, we need butternut squash. sweet, its taste depends on the color of the pulp, the brighter the sweeter, but you can’t look at the pulp in the store, so evaluate the peel. avoid obvious damage and deep cuts; you shouldn’t be afraid of small scratches, these are natural sharams that appear on the pumpkin as it grows. a good pumpkin has a thick skin and this is easy to check, tap it, squeeze it, there should be no dents. to

understand whether a pumpkin is ripe or not, the sound should be dull but distinct. do not take a pumpkin without a tail, it will quickly spoil. now it’s the turn of the tomatoes, when choosing, inspect the area of ​​the stalk, if the color is greenish or sharply different, then perhaps the fruit has ripened after it was picked, be sure to try it by touch, if the tomato is soft, it means it’s overripe, and if it’s hard, it’s not ripe; with a thick peel, it’s probably grown using nitrates. smell is a good indicator of freshness; a ripe tomato always smells, and the tastier and juicier the better, but unripe fruits may not smell at all, or the aroma will be faint. all that remains is to choose the minced chicken, pay attention to the composition, ideally if it is chicken breast

and maybe a thigh. it is undesirable for minced meat to contain spices; unscrupulous producers often camouflage a low-quality product in this way. and of course, the shelf life and storage method are important. minced meat is sold only chilled or frozen. so, our basket is filled, all that remains is to prepare the champion's breakfast. kostya, good morning, i’m very glad to see you today as a guest in my kitchen. good morning, masha, thank you for inviting me, we will prepare something delicious, not only tasty, but healthy, the breakfast of a real champion. konstantin panasenko - central blocker of the belarusian national volleyball team, in professional volleyball more than 10 years, started his career in the mogilev lions club, played for the volleyball team bat

bgu fc for the soligorsk miner, spent 3 years as part of the minsk builder, collaborated with foreign clubs, baniyas from abud and chinese hebbey. kostya, tell me what we are preparing today? today we will prepare an italian-style breakfast, palpetto, that is, meatballs, with pasta, that is, pasta, let's start. for italian meatballs, prepare ground chicken. 200 g will be enough, the egg is hard cheese. also today you will need a pumpkin, thyme and teriyaki sauce. from vegetables, prepare a couple of tomatoes, sweet peppers, shallots, garlic and herbs. carbohydrate components of the dish, durum pasta. we will decorate breakfast with sesame seeds. kostya, give us instructions on where we will start. please take care of the minced meat, and i’ll take care of the pumpkin. let's! oh, do you even like

to cook? well, in principle, not very much, because this activity is time-consuming and it is not always enough to prepare, relatively speaking, lunch or dinner. yes, of course, i try to make breakfast myself, but lunch, dinner somewhere, either in a cafe or in some... mm, relatively speaking, canteens, you travel a lot , go to different countries, as far as you are concerned, but you like to try new dishes, from those or other countries you visit, uh , it all depends on the country in which i’m staying, sometimes it’s interesting, of course, to try, uh , when they advise, so to speak, in

spain, to try some local dishes, local cuisine, yes, but if i’m in some exotic countries, then experiments with food are fraught with consequences, so i try not to experiment with frogs, snakes, no, yes, yes, something like that, or too spicy, also in conventional arab countries, not very good, and when you are on vacation, you prefer active or passive rest, you are lazy, but well, again, it all depends on the season, how it went, how difficult it was, that is... sometimes you want to just lie down, bask in the sun and do nothing, but it quickly gets boring, so still somewhere... then it’s also interesting to see, well, i don’t know there, but i’m jogging near the sea, but no, in this

plan, in any case, you always need to keep in shape, whether you are on vacation or not , so in any case , the gym, always jogging, honestly, i don’t like running at all, so when i was a child, oh, when i was young, i ran a lot, so now i devote less time to it , and what do you like? well, over time, i came to the conclusion that i need a gym in any case, before i didn’t take it so seriously when i was a little younger, but now i realized that without... a gym, i can’t go on vacation, so i constantly support yourself in shape,

now i will show you a couple of exercises that are aimed at warming up, stretching the anterior posterior surface of the thigh, and which can be performed both before and after training. first, let's stretch the front surface of the thigh, whoever can, can lie down so that it stretches better, maybe 20 seconds, in principle, it will be enough to lie down and stretch. the main thing is not to endure and that there is no pain, so as not to lead to a sprain, then we move to the back

of the thigh, we actively feel the tension in this area, so who again not him... he feels that you can do a little backward rotation, these exercises are performed for 20 seconds, it will be enough to tone the muscles, then you can do bends, which also help to stretch... the back of the thigh and a little lumbar joint, the leg must be straight, the toe is pointed towards you, the calf muscles are also stretched, but

we still watch and do not allow severe pain . be active in the morning and your day will be productive. kostya, let’s talk about the career of a volleyball player, at what age can you to start playing this sport, at what age, and in general, at what stage can one understand that this or that child has prospects in professional big-time sports? good question, but i think we can start. out of ten out of 10, from the age of 9, and what time were you brought in? me at first at 10, but at first they said it was too early, let him grow up a little, in the end i came to the section at the age of 13, uh, but i think the coaches go to schools, usually, as

this happens, they look at the kids who are taller , choose, offer them, we had like, they invited us to rowing, to volleyball, to basketball, they recruited, that is, this is roughly what happens, but as for how to consider the child and his prospects, i think it’s still up to the coaches, they know better, they look at the genetic data, relatively speaking, what the child’s desire is, this is first of all, and according to him, how he succeeds in training, and what about the end of his career, well, the end of his career, it all depends in most cases on health, as far as your health allows, and accordingly, championship level, where you can, at this age, relatively speaking, if you are 35 and

your health allows it, then in principle you can play at 35, but this is another question, where will you end your career in which championship, i’m done with pumpkin , i'll send it to bake, come on. kostya, the longest match in volleyball lasted 72 hours, i think it was in the usa, but it’s clear that now the rules of the game have changed, but in any case, how energy-consuming is this sport, is this how you come out after the match? yes, about the rules, of course, earlier it was much harder, and the matches lasted longer, because there were transitions of serve, and they could play for one point, i don’t know the words. for half an hour so that the score becomes 1:00, now it’s easier, of course, and the games have become much faster, but

in terms of energy consumption, firstly, it’s emotionally very expensive, because unlike football, where goals are scored much less often, then here every time you celebrate, one point, you score 25 of them in the game, that’s why? here emotionally, well, plus also physically, of course, the player has to jump 200 times, plus accept, plus handle the balls, in this regard, it’s very difficult, even, and if the game drags on for five games and 2 and a half hours, then you come home and just collapse, but it happens, if the game was very emotional, it can be very difficult. fall asleep and stay awake until two until 30 in the morning, you have some kind of crazy

speed when serving the ball, well, more precisely, the ball has a crazy speed, imagine, speed records of 135 km/h, and how can you possibly react to this serve, i i can’t imagine, me too, it seems to me that if i saw this, i don’t think i would even see it such a ball, just like that... koveta has new heroes in every program, we are bakers by training, we work together on. i will set up an enterprise plus in english - this is higher education, i will learn korean,

korean korean, yes, unpredictable questions, what were the names of the brothers who were raised by a she-wolf according to legend? so, the obligatory version, a chill at the forks, do n’t take everything so literally, and unexpected answers to them, maybe it somehow rhymes with dimyan, well, not timyan, but somehow it’s possible. porridge, i don’t know, some kind, it’s a sport, in which you need to move backwards, i accept the answer rome, the correct answer, milan , santa maria delegation in milan, build a tower, watch in an intellectual show, the tower on the tv channel, belarus 24, the heroes of this program chose life outside the city, this is not ancestral, it’s all ours

my uncles and great-grandfathers lived in their houses, falvarks, and came here... to find out why rural life is still better than city life, and to complete several tasks around the house, all the raks of the bulb, iago traba dabrats, judging by the sweaty helmet, one might get the impression that yesterday i celebrated some kind of birthday or anniversary, but this is not so, well, there’s a little red tractor, why didn’t we load into it, watch the project i’m from the village, on the belarus 24 tv channel, the investigative committee of belarus opened a criminal case against latvian officials article of crimes against the security of humanity. previously, criminal

cases were opened against their comrades from poland and lithuania, although these countries participated in the fact that in order to disturb the peace in the countries of the middle east, they are in no hurry to let refugees in, maybe is this different? the confrontation between the west and russia , which began during the cold war, has received an unexpected continuation today. their attempts not to be like russian representatives of the so-called civilized world have reached a new level. now it’s not enough for them that they have democracy, a counterbalance... to slavic values, family and marriage, they came up with european ones, they demand compliance with new standards, in case of disobedience, removal of children, the west has come to the point that it is destroying itself from the inside, author’s project of ksenia lebedeva is more, watch new episodes on the

belarus 24 tv channel. kostya, what do we do next? now we need to fry the meatballs, and then we will stew them. great, you played in many clubs, in many countries, in general, this is how difficult it is, how easy it is to join a new team, how you find a common language, especially when you speak different languages. well, in principle, for professionals , finding communication, finding communication is not a problem, because we all understand everything, who has gathered here and why, so it’s not a big problem with the guys

get to know each other and find a common language. another thing is, if these are other countries, then in any case i speak english, uh, no, no, yes, we understand each other, plus, everyone understands volleyball terms perfectly, so there are no problems for communication, well, you had experience in arabic in the emirates, you played, how did you adapt there, oh, it was an interesting experience actually, because everything is completely different there, not like here, not like in europe, ah, they have a completely different attitude towards professional sports , local the players don’t call themselves, uh, professionals at all, they only call the foreign players who come from other countries professionals, themselves, wow, yes,

they themselves, they have jobs that they go to and train only in the evenings, so.. .. for me it was very unusual and unusual this whole thing, when i arrived, i probably spent the first 2 weeks getting used to looking at it all with my eyes wide open, like that, but then i basically got used to it, looked, you get used to everything, well it's true as far as in general, the mentality is very different, to say much is probably an understatement, but in fact, the guys were all kind, they always tried to help with something, if any questions arose, they always came to the rescue, they were not on foot at all i’m used to walking, no one walks there, seriously, yes, my gym was

a 10-15 minute walk from my house, and i was in training... i was constantly walking, walking, that is, 15 minutes, why not, especially at this time the weather was comfortable, 30°, in the evening 26, why not, but when they found out that i i walk, this is the distance, you walk, seriously , let me come, and everyone came up to me and said, i can pick you up, come, pick you up, i say, no need, thank you, well, everything is fine, and for me it was amazing. the meatballs are ready, what do we do next, please boil the pasta, yeah, okay, so far i have... why did you choose classic volleyball, and not, say, beach volleyball? well , let's start with the fact that it didn't exist, in my city

there was only classical volleyball, and then it didn't change, because these are two different types sport, and you need to rebuild very much, rebuild your jumping technique, everything like that, yes, but sand in principle... we have pre-season training camps, training sessions, where we work on sand also, because it’s very good, and physical, for physical condition is very good, plus, the joints are strengthened, and you train on the sand with or without sneakers , without, imagine how much effort you put in when you walk on the sand with or without sneakers, so it ’s much better for... the foot joints when you train without shoes.

today we are going to look at - chicken meatballs with cheese, salsa sauce, with baked pumpkin on a bed of pasta, it sounds simply amazing, let's figure out how balanced and suitable it will be for a morning meal. first, as always , i say that if you are tired of porridge or you cannot eat it, try using pasta or hard salt paste instead of side dishes. it’s quite possible to replace fascias that, for example, you’re tired of or don’t like for some reason, but cook al dente, and

this will be a slow enough carbohydrate to give you a good amount of energy, vigor and productivity for the whole next day, here the guys did just that, they took minced chicken, i note that the minced meat was from chicken breast, animal fats in it would be good for us to minimize the course of the day, and since chicken fillet is low-fat, this is an excellent option for our body and it contains a good amount of protein, which is again very useful for us, protein from chicken is absorbed almost 100%, very cool, contain all the essential amino acids, which are again necessary for our health, which is also very cool that we had pumpkin, which was cut into small cubes, baked, such a gentle way for our vegetables to preserve a large amount fiber, vitamins, minerals, so this option also worked very well here, all this

was beautifully decorated with spinach on top, what did we get, slow carbohydrates, good, even a large amount of protein necessary for our body, low-fat dish, we also have there are vegetables and greens, it’s just super , amazing, balanced breakfast, be sure to try adding it to your... diet, try and cook it once and you will 100% add this recipe to your menu on an ongoing basis, but i approve, very cool, come on i’ll have meatballs, i’ll simmer them in my own sauce , come on, kostya, when i was preparing for this program, i was scrolling through your social networks, and there you can see photos of you... and surfing, immersed in prorug, are you such an extreme person in life? ah, no, i wouldn’t say that, it was just the urges in the moment, it

it was interesting to try, about the ice hole, i probably dived for 3 years in a row, i tried it for the first time, i liked it, well, let’s say it was a tradition, the guys from the team and i went in real life, it was interesting, such an indescribable feeling really, surfing on vacation, just watching how people surf and wanted to try it too, riding, diving, or something like that, again, also a moment of relaxation, interesting to see, well, the red sea, of course, it’s a completely different world, really , i didn’t think about jumping with a parachute, interesting, this... but for now it’s postponed , we’ll do it a little later, probably because my work doesn’t allow me to do this yet, it’s risky.

yes, there are risks of injury, so for now i’ll refrain, let’s prepare palpette , italian meatballs , chop the shallots, grate the cheese, separate the yolk from the white, we need the yolk, salt, pepper and mix the ingredients, add the minced meat, now. cut small meatballs, fry until golden brown, now take care of the pumpkin, cut it into cubes, put it in a bowl and add teriyaki sauce, olive oil and thyme leaves, mix and place in a baking dish, put the pumpkin in the oven for about 15 minutes , prepare salsa sauce, for this you need to chop the tomatoes, for brightness take tomatoes of different colors, put them in the frying pan, then add chopped...

pepper, garlic, a pinch of oregano and chopped herbs, simmer a little, the salsa will be ready. now you need to put the meatballs into it and simmer them a little. don't forget to boil the pasta. you can form a dish. place meatballs on pasta with sauce, pumpkin pieces on top. bon appetit. masha, the last step remains. sprinkle our dish with cheese and sesame seeds and you can start tasting. come on, by the way, you are very hungry, so am i, i can’t wait to get started, friends, it smells so delicious, you can go crazy. masha, it’s not only delicious, but very healthy. kostya, thank you very much for the recipe, another one for my piggy bank, thank you very much for
