Those of you who joined us for the SWEET BATTLE remember the warm and festive atmosphere of the culinary contest. The fact that it took place during The Apple and Honey Feast of the Savior made it more significant. Kudos to our winners TATIANA LEVCHENKO I Place ZHALA MAKARRAMOVA II Place ANNA OBICHKINA III Place But frankly, our contest was not about the competition, it was about the communal celebration, about meeting new friends and catching up with the old ones; about supporting local businesses and the Club, that can’t exist without its members and guests. Many thanks to our sponsors Natalia Mann, Irina Nasekailo and Zhanna Thomas. Thank you Natalia for supporting our contestants; thank you, Irina Nasekailo, for donating a year’s subscription and advertising space in FLORIDA &US to our winners. Zhanna Thomas, your floral arrangements in the spirit of the Christian tradition of harvest celebration added so much to our festivities.

The SWEET BATLE that took place on Aug 19th in the Russian American Club was an most amazing event that attracted several generations, and all kinds of interesting people. But before all the photos are uploaded and the winners are cheered, we want to thank a person who stood behind this event from its conception till the lights went off in the club. Please meet Anastasia Farkas. And this is what she tells about herself: “Ten years ago my life took an unexpected turn when I moved from Moscow to America. In Russia I had a successful career and developed as a personality. In Moscow I graduated from two prestigious universities and was a successful lawyer. In America I was reborn as a different Anastasia that was previously unknown to me. It’s not accidental that I was named Anastasia. In Greek it means return to life,resurrection. It’s here in America that I distanced myself from jurisprudence and tried to reach my deeper self, to understand the universe better and started practicing good nutrition, yoga and develop my artistic abilities. Besides my work and classes that I take here in Florida, I teach yoga classes on line and in person around the world, and hold workshops on how to create items using epoxy resin. My plans for the near future are to start a career as a paralegal and open my furniture restoration business. Yes, I discovered yet another of my passions. Besides all that for many years I represented Russia at many international festivals, for the second year I give lectures to students at University of Alabama about Russian culture, traditions and cuisine. I’m one of the organizers of a spring festival MASLENITSA (pancakes) in Alabama and Florida (Orlando and Tampa). This year I became a board member of RUSSIAN HERITAGE and I’m planning to continue with this mission.
