No Zud - Tumblr Posts

Before my classes start in about 15 minutes

I had a great Tsagaan Sar weekend this year, & had spent it with my brother's family. We had lots of buuz (steamed dumplings), ul boov (shoe sole cake) were great, & so were the berees (rice with raisins & a dollop of milk), tsagaa (rice with curds) & other festive dishes. Me & my brother still contacted our parents & sisters through the video conference, & they seem to have cleared their icicles off just fine. Their livestock have been healthy & not one among them has starved so far, always a good sign given the chance of zud (a bout of starvation among livestock from one of various causes). My brother's on a great part of his work as usual, & my nephews are rather robust & well this starting year. Bayartai, guys.
