My Daily Life & Thoughts Living in Russia My name is Rimma, but my friends call me Dreamy. I think the more bad things are happening in the world, the more good things are needed. I believe that kindness, compassion and friendship are much more in demand now. By the channel I want to inspire you to live simply, slow down, see miracles in ordinary days and do not be afraid to share your love with others. I hope we'll become friends and this channel will be a breath of fresh air in a stressful world. I'll show you my daily life in Russia, share my daily thoughts and activities, tell you about traditions in my country and my family. I'll give you some delicious and nourushing food for thought and show you some quick, easy, tasty and healthy recipes to try out in your kitchen as well. If you share your thoughts and feelings, you will enrich my vision, after all, that is why we are here in this vast world of RU-vid, to help each other become happier. With love, your Dreamy
Yea I'm always ready to move!!! I never stay long in 1 place haha........ I lived in 7 places so far & about to change again, but I can believe someone in the north that wants to move south.... Being from arctic region I can't go to hot a place for more than a few days...... I use to be boxer so I still do boxing workout to keep fit haha..........
Dear Dreamy Rimma, Sitting here watching your latest video, i have just finished a baked potato and about halfway through a vegetable and fruit smoothie. It seems as if you are always preparing some kind of meal to share not only with your friends and loved ones but also those who watch your videos and take note of the ingredients you use. You speak of the real reason you have relocated masking it with many other secondary points to ponder for a move away from home. The medicinal rose coupled with some type of oriental arts can certainly play a role in relieving stress in a person's life. If I were to relive my life to get to where I am now, I would certainly add jui jitsu to my library of skills. The physical and mental discipline would complement my country easy-going life. How? Do you ask? The mastering of physical skills has a way of healing damage caused by high-stress and negative activities. I mention jui jitsu only because it is one of many ways a person can indulge in a productive physical and mental routine. Currently, I simply have a regular routine in a local gym along with the many chores around my country home to keep me active and alert as I am resisting my body's attempt to age. I look forward to hearing more of your involvement with the arts as you learn more yourself.🤸♀🏖
Every time we walk towards the sea with our sticks, we pass by a hall where children are taught jiu jitsu. As far as we understood, looking at the silhouettes outside the windows, this is such a flexible struggle. for some reason, it seems to me that you know different types of martial arts or are friends with some sports.🤗😘
@@DreamyRimma That means a bunch and was very special! I'm Glad he was able to help (both of you 😊). You got me learning about the wing chun martial art. My back/ shoulders are stiff / weak as can be and watching the stick work made me think of possibilities for myself!
Hi beautiful dreamy ,looks a nice place to settle and a place to recover with sun ,sea and fresh sea air ,sending you lots of love to you and your family,take care 🤗🌹
Dearest Dreamy Rimma, You have the best fruit and vegetable markets there. Beautiful, healthy produce. When you left Ufa, I thought you left Russia altogether because of the special operations. I didn't know you stayed in Russia and left Ufa for medical reasons. Maybe you are close to Sochi now? I know Sochi is an expensive city to live in. Wherever you are you are in a much warmer climate on the Black Sea. It's nice that you don't have to deal with the harsh winters now. The climate you're in now is very beneficial for healthy living. Many people here in the U.S. move down south for the health benefits. As we get older we suffer more from joint and bone problems. Arthritis is very painful and in cold climates can be unbearable. It was fate that you moved to the warmer climate and it was fate that you met the right kind of doctor and became good friends. I love it when fate steps in and helps good people. You and your husband are very good people and beautiful souls. ❤ Your cooking always looks so tasty and delicious. You're not only an artist in the kitchen but with the camera also. You're so talented Dreamy and yes, you can get fermented milk here along with , buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. I think your produce markets are better than ours here though. It seems Russians eat better and less processed foods than we do here in America. Most, not all, Americans are in such a rush, they get something quick and on the go to eat. Many don't take the time to pick out their food and prepare their own meals. It seems like , with every generation, the art of cooking is becoming a lost art, sadly. These lifestyles lead to hypertension, high cholesterol and in some cases, illness and pre-mature death. It would be nice to hear more about your new home and your husband's story. It's so nice to see him. You and he make a beautiful couple.❤ We don't know much about your husband, he seems to be a more shy type or maybe just camera shy? I look forward to hearing more about you both and the beautiful place you now live in. I hope you both are healing and feeling much better.❤ Love and hugs to you both, always.🤗❤️🙏-----Steve.
Dear Steve, thank you for your warm message. Both of us smile and hug you. I will answer you in detail tomorrow, now it's time to go to bed. I couldn't help but write and say thank you for your kind heart🙏. Have a nice day❤
@@StevefromOhio1972 Sochi is really a very expensive and not very comfortable city to live in. We found ourselves in a small cosy town . Here in Russia, people very often eat on the go too. the younger generation doesn't really like cooking. That's why I want to share very simple recipes that even a child can cook. I rarely show supermarkets, so it seems that there is only healthy food on the counter. I love farmers markets and now you understand why. I guess I should wish you sweet dreams now. See you soon, big hugs🤗❤
A brush is just a stick essentially. Maybe smart to move it in ways without leaving traces on canvases. It’s the traces that are so frustrating.. Glad though others leave traces to awe. Nice piece of art, Rimma!
You expressed what I was feeling in a really poetic and subtle way.😍🤩 My stick might not be as elegant as a brush, but I often imagine I'm drawing some Taoist stuff 🙃. Thanks, dear Thomas! And I give you a big warm hug!🤗
@@DreamyRimma Can I add a question? (Rhetorical;) Is it true that there is very little accent variation in Russian language? For context, one can pinpoint a German speaker almost to the exact position of a street crossing or tree. Well, that is artistic exaggeration but you get the point… So, can you hear the difference of home and the black sea Russian?
@@thomasruckstuhl9980 yes, of course, there are many variants of the Russian language in different regions. In Ufa, we speak like in Moscow - this is such a classic Russian pronunciation, as on central television (except for some Tatars and Bashkirs who just speak with their native accent, like my dad and village relatives in particular). There are regions, very close to Moscow even, and they speak there, pronouncing the letters in a completely different way, like in the old days or in fairy tales. Here, on the Black sea, there is also a slight accent and its own dialect. I would say that in those regions where there is a dialect of Russian, the language is more soulful and fabulous, it is a pleasure for the artist. It's heard in folk songs especially. you asked the wrong question😅I can talk endlessly about this. I was passionate about proverbs and saying in my youth.
@@DreamyRimma Thank you! That‘s interesting and what you tell me makes much sense to me. In terms of how I think humans are. The same idiots but with a slightly different accent everywhere ;) So that Russian woman I once met, lied to me about Russian accents…too! ;) Hey I have a guess on your husband’s/coaches first name… Vladimir ;)
Hi, it's so interesting! I've never seen a Russian borzaya in Russia. I've seen similar ones, but without fur, and then only once. Glad to see you, my new friend🤗
Hallo liebe Rimma, ich glaube heute ist ein ganz besonderes Datum, denn es ist dein Geburtstag. Meine aller herzlichsten Glückwünsche, bleibe so wild und kerativ. Ich bewundere Dich sehr wie du es schaffst ein so ganz anderes Leben zu führen, als 80 % der Menschheit (meine Prognose ist nicht reperesentativ). Für mich bist du ein besonderes Vorbild auch oder gerade weil ich dir nicht immer nacheifern kann. Viele liebe Grüße und Umarmungen. Thomas ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IhA4r9peGXE.html
Vielen Dank, Thomas!!! Es ist so wertvoll für mich, dass du dich daran erinnerst!!! Ich habe das Gefühl, dass heute ein besonderer Tag ist! sehr sonnig, sehr warm, man könnte sogar sagen heiß, was für mich überraschend ist. Unser Flieder hat sogar wieder geblüht. Auch ich spüre etwas vom Frühling, vielleicht von Erneuerung. Vielen Dank für Ihre Worte und Ihr herzliches Beileid, ich fühle es. Und ich bin sehr froh, dass ich dich habe. Danke für das Video, zu meinem Geburtstag gibt es hier kein Feuerwerk, also habe ich zu deinem Feuerwerk getanzt. Ich umarme dich und schätze dich wirklich.🤗❤
In Western Europe, rose oil from Bulgaria is used as this is the most famous. They use far more flowers in Bulgaria than what you've tried. I copied some information below to give you an impression of how this is done by professionals. As you will see, you have been a bit late in the year and it should be harvested in the morning. Good luck for your activities next year 👍😍and a strong smell for all your rose oil. The roses bloom only once a year. The harvest period is in late May, early June The rose petals have to be collected between 5 and 11 am After noon the concentration of rose oil evaporates from the petals and part of it goes down to the stem To produce one kilogram (1200 ml) of rose oil is necessary around 3500 kilograms. It makes one and a half million of petals The price of one kilogram of rose oil is between 6500 and 7000 euro Main buyers of Bulgarian rose oil are France, the USA and China The main role of the rose oil in the perfumes is to fix the smell on the skin
Thanks, my dear friend! Our roses bloom like crazy twice a year, in spring/early summer and from late September to January. There are tons more roses at the start, in June, of course. The idea for rose oil just popped into my head on my way home. Next time, I'll be more prepared and definitely need more roses, and I'd use olive oil instead of sesame. Thanks for your concern. My warmest hugs to you🤗❤
Thank you Rimma - another great video - 16:43 i notice another good quality of many a woman is her ability to create orderliness in what to a man would be a simple and tedious repetitive job. For instance my ex could write down long lists of details for my work as a washing machine repair engineer. Whereas i would get to the 15 - 20th item and get totally bored and look for a way to change what i was doing... Just a thought... Thank you again.. Appreciate all you do - and keep doing... Kevin..
It is always amazing to see new places & how people live differently from what's around me......... In Latvija the autumn is time of rain & I must be often outdoors for my job so I learn to live with it haha!!! I never thought of tea from petals only from berries....... I know some of those Russian poets but read in English...... The dish you made looks good, I think I can try it!!!
winter is the rainy season here, although I have not seen rains for more than 2-3 days . in Ufa, this can last for a week. First the rains, and then the frosts... Yes, I've also never heard of rose petal jam in Bashkiria, but here it's the norm. But it tastes a little strange to me, I think it's perfumery😁.
Thank you, my dear friend. I left the recipe in the description of the video. I called it a vegetable casserole, although I don't know the exact translation.🤗❤
Dearest Dreamy Rimma, Sorry for the late response. Even in Ohio we're experiencing the effects of the hurricane that hit the southern U.S. We have trees and power lines down around here. Internet is spotty at best. The last time we experienced the effects of a hurricane like this was about 20 or so years ago. Anyway, I have never heard of rose petal jam or tea. Interesting 🤔. You're cauliflower, broccoli 🥦 , tomato, pepper and cheese dish looked very tasty and delicious 🤤. That vegetable market looked so good. That little girl putting that cucumber in that bag was adorable 😊. I think you are a good poet. You do have a way with your words. I know some things, some feelings cannot be put into words but you find a way to express your thoughts, feelings and emotions through your actions. The way you walk, talk, interact with nature as well as others. I am not surprised that many women showed up for your meeting at the park. When your feelings are genuine and your intentions are pure, I am not surprised at all. One thing I know you and I have in common is that I think we both could talk each others ears off. 😊 You can tell sometimes by my lengthy responses 😂. I can talk a lot, that's for sure but my grandmother and my father had taught me to be a good listener also. I used to talk my grandmother's ears off and she would sit and , not only listen but pay attention, be genuinely interested in what I and others had to say. That was the kind of person and gentle soul she was. She was a wealth of knowledge but always wanted and willing to know more, even when she was in her eighties. No matter who was talking to her, she had love, kindness and understanding in her eyes. She was genuine. You remind me of her in many ways. I think, I may be wrong but as I get older, I think I tend to listen more and talk less. Well, at least to listen more.😊 Again, I am not surprised that you had many women join you in the park. It may be hard to put some things into words or to describe thoughts, feelings and emotions but you are a wonderful poet. Not only with words but in your style, your smile, your beautiful, caring and attentive brown eyes. Your ability to listen, to care and continue to learn. It's in your heart and in your soul, it's who you are. A beautiful caring, genuine human being. A beautiful poet, of not only Russia but the whole world. 🌍 Take care and always my love to you, your husband and your beautiful family ❤️. Many hugs and love💕❤😊. May God bring us all peace soon.-----Steve.😊
Oh, thank you, dear Steve, so many good words and wishes, so much love🙏. When you described your grandmother, I clearly saw in your words my beloved grandmother - my mom's mother. She was everything to me, even more than my parents were at that moment. I guess you could say that I loved her like a God. I really wanted to be like her. She taught me without teaching me. Just like your grandma.. We were lucky to have such grandmothers. Not everyone had them. And this is a great gift, for which I am very grateful. That's why I really understand you. Many-many best wishes to you and your lovely family🙌❤and many hugs🤗😘
Devo dire la verità Rimma: Questa volta avere scritto un "giallo". Nel senso che per tutto il video c'è la suspanse di sapere quale è il "messaggio" di questo "sogno profumato" che l'essenza delle rose ti hanno trasmesso nel sogno e che te rivelerai alle amiche. E per mezzo di queste "Signore" anche a noi ed a tutti quelli nel mondo che "vogliono" avere orecchi per ascoltare. In effetti i fiori delle rose sono belli, colorati e profumati (ed intorno a voi sembra che ce ne siano molti), ma, come le donne hanno anche spine per chi non si accinge a trattarle e coglierle con delicatezza. Potrei scherzare dicendo che in effetti "qualche bocciolo di rose" io l'ho intravisto fra quel gruppo di 19 signore di varia età e variopinta grazia. Ma questo mi distrarrebbe dall'essenza del messaggio di Dreamy. I drammi delle guerre attuali sono generati dalla "mancanza di equilibrio", di un nuovo equilibrio essenzialmente dopo il 1989 e qui, io, Rimma e le signore niente possiamo di fronte a situazioni che purtroppo il genere umano ha già vissuto nel passato, ed Ahimè nell'oggi. Ma Dreamy parla di un equilibrio diverso, più personale, interno, privato ...ma anche universale.
Grazie, Frediano, per la tua visione... e anche per la tua comprensione della natura delle rose e delle donne. E sono sicura che nel tuo giardino crescerà una deliziosa rosa della varietà italo-giapponese, o magari sarà qualche altro fiore, ma sarà sicuramente bella, delicata, delicata, sensibile e saggia come una donna. Così sia!!!🌹🥀🌺❤
Dear Dreamy Rimma, This is early in the morning just after breakfast, and I see you cooking and preparing meals. I think you enjoy creating healthy meals from a variety foods. Then you created a rose-pedal jam. not sure if it was for eating or for fragrance in the air? Either way it seemed to be like an aphrodisiac or at least some kind of incense to affect your sensual pleasure. My first thought was to question if this was a one time thing or have you experienced this more than once? Although all people are different, I think most people can get along if they try to understand each other. Conflict usually develops from misunderstanding or sometimes a lacking tolerance. Seeing the world through "rose colored glasses" helps a person to have more inner peace. I wonder what would happen if more people in this world, especially the world leaders, would experience some of your rose pedal jam???? Food for thought, dreamy Rimma.
This is the first time I made rose essential oil. I thought it would smell like a rose. But it has almost no scent yet☺. It's just skin oi. If the leaders of the world were to massage their feet with this oil, I think they would kiss each other and live in peace and harmony. But that would already be a fairy tale... Although we write fairy tales ourselves amd make them real🙃... Hugs, dear Alan.🤩😘❤
@@alanunderhill9316 I dedicate all my Nobel Prizes, as well as literary, cinematographic, and culinary ones, too, to you, dear Alan, for your endless faith in me🙂🙃🙏
@@DreamyRimma 🤩WoW! Thank you, Dreamy Rimma. Once you start winning the Nobel prizes you might have to document the accomplishments through an autobiography......maybe titled something like "Rose Pedal Desert"? 🌹📖🌅
Why is Bach's Gmaj cello suite so good? I listen for hours, trying to learn, understand, and even futilely attempting to explain it, -but in the end I tell myself to just shut up and enjoy! 😂 You did a great job explaining the unexplainable. Those are the funnest challenges, they push one to do the impossible. Please tell your friends, the poet, and the pregnant cat "Hello from across the world!" for me if you get a chance. Thanks, R
I will definitely tell it to the cat and in the future to her kittens too🙂🙃...Ron, tell me, do you have a musical education? There is a reason for the interest in classical music...
@@ronstuff6330 I studied at a music school, and even played Bach, but I don't remember the names of works. Great respect!!!! 😍I also love high-quality music.
@@DreamyRimma Oh my gosh! I just spoke with my wife about some of my college friends, who tonight (after about 23 years or so), decided they wanted to get back together. They started a group "text" to organize a reunion of sorts. Funny story (or maybe not)- in interest of living the "simple life" I denounced smart phones *( and texting). *I denounced smart phones around 2012 (about the time they were invented). They did not get the "memo"😂😂😂😂 I don't have a smart phone. For work (and safety, and simplicity) I keep an old flip phone. It cannot keep up with the recent messages being sent, and I am usually happy. Tonight needed more bandwidth though- Too much info. After 20 years you can't "text" fast enough. It's silly. Really though, it's a new problem. Historically, I'd just "talk" To expect to "text" 20 years of missing life into a smart phone is silly. One really needs to talk - in person. I did the UNEXPECTED- I called the people directly and SPOKE to them. 😊😊😊 We had some good chats, and came up with a place to meet up. I'm really looking forward to it. In that sense, sometimes texts (like youtube comments) aren't enough.- Enter your song. You can't type that song over an internet. It is simply beautiful. Earlier today, when I wrote, I REALLY wanted to speak to the difference between a piano note and a bowed cello note. I play guitar myself, and build them too (I've always had an affection for folk acoustic instruments)- These are where my thought's stay in happiness and a simple life. If you internet search my name and "guitar" you might even glimpse a creation or two of mine. These are the thoughts I wanted to convey, but couldn't, because the youtube comment section is only "so big". Yet your song said everything I wanted to say. But basically this- There was too much to say to my old friends via "text". It needed to be in real time voices speaking as people. Not some silly internet connection. And between us, and our peoples, there is too much to be said over youtube to be said in some "comment" section. Yet you perfectly nailed what I was thinking.! And with a perfect understanding... Please tell that cat hello! and give it all the love it's willing to accept!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Dreamy, you are from another planet... Whereas here everyone understands only what they are able to understand. I estimate that a small part of what you know and say. Greetings and admiration, Bogumil.
It's so great to see you here, Bogumil.🥰 There is a lot not to tell. I'd like to be an artist or a musician, it's easier to convey without words. and also, everyone understands what they are able to. My warmest hug and I'm very, very glad to see you🤗❤
Liebste Träumerin, was soll man sagen, wenn es keine Worte dafür gibt. Der Duft der vielen Rosen ist vielleicht ein Opiat mit grandioser Wirkung. Nicht wenige Künstler versuchen ihr Glück mit bewustseinserweiternder Substanzen und erschaffen so Kunstwerke, die nicht von dieser Welt sind. Eine sehr schöne Geschichte, die ich aber ungern nur der weiblichen Seite überlassen würde. 😉 Vielen Dank für die schöne Reise und Namaste Vanthomas m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YEM8TspcCBY.html&pp=ygUObGEgdmllIGVuIHJvc2U%3D
Ich habe Frauen kennengelernt, deshalb ist die Beschreibung so ausgefallen. Ich weiß nicht einmal, was passieren würde, wenn sich männliche Bekannte treffen würden. Obwohl ich sie hier nicht habe. aber die Fortsetzung dieser Geschichte bekam einen maskulinen Unterton.
Thanks dreamy 💐 "Life is only real then, when I am." The saying "Life is only real then, when I am" suggests that life only becomes meaningful and authentic when a person is fully present and self-aware. It emphasizes the idea that true existence and experience only happen when we are conscious, actively engaged, and mindful of ourselves and our surroundings. Without this awareness, life feels disconnected or superficial. It's a call to live deliberately and recognize the importance of being truly "awake" in the moment. "And so we are." Love from Edinburgh ❤
Thank you, dear Colin. What precise words!!! Understanding them can make a huge difference in one's life, and not just to the one who understands. Thank you for being there . And a big, warm hug🤗❤
Ciao "amici del mare" e mi scuso per il "ritardo", ma la vita non concede solo "attività rilassanti". Intanto abbiamo scoperto che anche i tatari ed i baschiri hanno un loro sottile umorismo e...fanno gli scherzi. Si sono toscanizzati. Però Dreamy voglio inserire nel "film" un'ulteriore ipotesi: e se il babbo avesse capito benissimo la differenza fra i caffè e sia stato al gioco per farti felice e non contraddirti? Questo conferma che in realtà le "bugie bianche" cioè dette a "fin di bene", non solo non sono peccato, ma in certe situazioni sono la scelta migliore...a volte quasi obbligata e meritevole. Sulla pasta italiana...mi spiace ma nessun italiano ti mangerebbe quella strana mistura di tagliatelle verdi condita con "insalata russa". D'altronde se mezzo mondo viene in Italia per il cibo ed il vino...ci sarà una ragione. Purtroppo devo dirti che nessuna signora italiana ormai fa la pasta fatta a mano...anzi le ragazze giovani non sanno neanche cucinare. Infatti il problema dell'obesità giovanile è arrivato prepotentemente anche qui...ma, dalle riprese, anche in russia. Però tranquilli anche agli italiani vengono propinati cibi taroccati, fasulli e poco genuini...che però sono più saporiti di quelli naturali.... Sul film (non so neanche se al Festival del cinema di Venezia si paga il biglietto...ma credo di si) ti dico che spesso fra bene e male la differenza è minima, che la legge è una cosa e la giustizia un'altra storia. Però io credo che i Robin Hood esistano solo nei film...però esistono i "santi", cioè quelli che fanno del bene senza ricevere niente in cambio ...ma di solito non rubano. Su quelli in vacanza al mare...non tutti sono felici, rilassati e contenti....a volte perfino le "ferie estive" sono un motivo di stress ...quando gli si vuole assegnare il compito di "divertirsi ad ogni costo".
Caro Frediano, stavo aspettando la tua risposta e recensione veramente italiana!!! Sei un esperto universale, soprattutto quando si tratta del gusto della vita, della visione della vita e anche in termini di legge e ordine. Sapevo che avresti detto qualcosa del genere della mia “pasta”. Ero molto interessato!!! Non ho mai provato la pasta italiana. neanche nessuno di noi. perché la mia pasta è stata fortunata.... Sì, anche mio papà pratica le bugie bianche. ma lo fa molto male, e nulla può essere nascosto allo sguardo del mio detective. I genitori non sanno assolutamente come nascondere i propri sentimenti e pensieri, ma la madre li esprime immediatamente. In generale, mi sembra che sia molto russo, e persino tataro, dire tutto così com'è, come diciamo "tagliare la verità nel grembo materno" Sono molto felice di vedere il tuo messaggio. Spero che vada tutto bene in famiglia. Vi mando tanto affetto e calorosi abbracci, siamo ancora nella stagione balneare.🤗🤗🤗❤🐳
No doctor will ever take my coffee, lol. Actually, a cup or two of coffee a day has been proven healthy. Well, if Mom loves the chicory, she will drink it but does chicory give you that caffeine lift? It is nice to hear your soothing voice again, Dreamy. I can see you are an excellent cook. Such poetry in your stories and beautiful photography.
Liebe Rimma, deine kleinen „Lügen“ sind irgendwie putzig und auch sehr lieb gemeint. Eine Person zu etwas zu überzeugen was sie nicht freiwillig tun würde, ist für mich eher eine List. Deshalb plädiere ich für nicht schuldig in allen Anklagepunkten. Eher werden wir durch die Medien, in Form von Meinungen und Werbungen belogen. Welche Werbung kann schon mit der Realität mithalten. Das ist in meinen Augen eher ein Betrug der es nie bis zu einem Richter schaffen wird. Vielen Dank für deine schöne Geschichte und Namaste. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VlMBs_HUcxQ.html
Vielen Dank für deinen großartigen Sinn für Humor und Namaste. Ja, Trick ist ein tolles Wort. Deutlich. Ich umarme dich mit den letzten Sommersonnenstrahlen. Oh, ich liebe kilometerlange deutsche Wörter.
Hello Dearest Dreamy, You sure do know how to cook some tasty and healthy dishes. You did what my mom used to do, cook healthy meals and try and pass them off as something else. She would substitute ground turkey for ground beef as an example. Turkey is leaner with less fat content. She, too, was a culinary fraudster! 😊 You wouldn't have to trick me with coffee. I'm the only one in my family that doesn't drink coffee. I rarely drink hot drinks at all, when I do, I have tea or hot cocoa. I never have tried chicory. I wonder why the doctors want you Mama to cut out coffee? My doctor has encouraged me to drink coffee in moderation. I don't drink coffee or alcohol at all. I don't take drugs or smoke either. I do like to eat some things that are not the best for me. I do take prescription medications though. Fibs or little white lies are not a bad thing, and in some cases they are a necessity. I had to lie, at times, for the sake of keeping the peace amongst friends and even family members at times. I hate when somebody asks me a question, that I know the answer to, yet I've made a promise to another not to say anything. I have never betrayed anyone's trust and I have never revealed a secret told in confidence. The bad part is, I'm a terrible liar. I have a brother that's worse than me at lying, he's a very bad poker player too.😅 When it comes to having to tell a lie, most of the time, it's to spare a friend or family members feelings. My mom always used to tell me, "What somebody doesn't know won't hurt them". I don't know if I totally agree with that that completely. I would look at my parents and wonder what "little fibs" they were telling me! 😊 I'm sure they always had my feelings and best interest in mind. I, like you, can be a fraudster for good but I hate getting caught up in the middle of a dispute. 😊 I just take my mom's advice and hope things turn out for the best and it usually does. I have never attended a movie festival but it looks interesting. I haven't really cared for movies, for the most part, here in America the last 20 or so years. Action or super hero movies that have weak plots but are full of special effects and noise. I like older movies with good actors, deep and clever plots that may have a slow build up but pays off in the end. A story line that, not only makes you feel, but also makes you think. To me, the best movies and plays are the ones you think about and reflect on long after they have ended. In the end, as long as a fib is made with good intentions, it's perfectly alright. If made to spare ones feelings, that means you care. A lie can be a very good thing if you're trying to help instead of harm. We're the "good guys" Rimma! As far as your parents are concerned, your secret is safe with me! I have never betrayed a trust and I never will. Love and hugs to you and your wonderful husband as always ❤😊-----Steve.
We have a saying similar to the one your mother used to say: " knows less, sleeps better." in some cases, this is indeed the case. I haven't been to the cinema for a long time. While I was making this video, I was thinking about it. It seemed that it was almost 15 years ago, I remember it was a film about L.N. Tolstoy "The Last Station". we came from our remote village to Ufa to watch the movie... It is symbolic, as if it was the last station of that path...and now, apparently, a new path has begun. If it wasn't for the film festival here, I wouldn't have gone to the cinema. thank you, dear Steve, your message is a meaningful movie, I am very clear about everything you describe, and I am already watching my movie about your family.My warmest still simmer hugs and lots of love❤🙌
I almost miss this because my job demands.......... But visit with you always makes me happy!!! So my half-sister is coffee expert & 1 time she got chickory & hated it!!! I think a little lie if it doesn't hurt someone is allowed......
1:33 love the picture of husband and Rimma up on the wall... 3:54 its called education.. 14:22 yes after seeing the film close encounters i felt the same way when i came out - is there something watching us up there? 16:13 good idea. we need that at times.. 18:20 i wont tell anyone! .... Kevin..
Hi beautiful Dreamy i have tried chicory coffee its not to bad ,but i mainly drink tea ,a white lie is ok i think now and again ,your looking well ,take care, love to you and your family big hugs to you🤗❤
Your chicory secret it safe with me! Meanwhile, I would love to know the name of the movie you saw. You never know, one day it could make its way to the US.
Dear Dreamy Rimma, Can you be certain that your parents or their friends will not see your video and learn the true identity of the chicory drink? it is nice to know about the ground chicory roots. I have plenty growing all around my place so I'll have to give the drink a try. You remind me of myself when I use to go visit my parents on a long holiday weekend several times a year. My father would ask me what was new and I would go into detail about several new things happening. Then he would spend the rest of the weekend fussing about all the new things I had mentioned. Actually, he was being critical because he could always find ways that were different than what I had suggested. He had good intentions but the way he went about it only ended up causing us to disagree and fuss with each other. Finally, one visit, I told him there wasn't anything new going on and would you know it he didn't fuss one single time the entire weekend. I guess it is needless to say I never again told him of anything new that was going on. It may be a sad thing but at least the time we spent together over the weekends turned out to be a very pleasant times together while they lasted. Unfortunately, he is not alive anymore but I do have many special memories that we spent on those remaining weekends. If our intentions are good, I feel that a little white lie can be beneficial to all concerned. Thank you, young lady, for sharing another of your recipes for a healthier lifestyle. How often do they have a film festival there? The dance festival that you videoed in Ufa was a fun parade to watch.🥕💃🍽🏖🎥
Hello, Alan. Yes, you're describing Mom and me. Only we didn't duss and quarell, rather she scolded me. and since I don't want to be constantly scolded😅, and even she herself is nervous about it, I realized that it was better not to tell anything. So you found the root .... the chicory root must first be dried in a special way or fried, I do not know for sure... The film Festival is held once a year, in early September. wow,you remember that festival in Ufa. I believe that Ufa knows how to arrange beautiful shows and events at the highest level. I hug you and send you sunny greetings🤗❤☀
@@DreamyRimma I'll do a little more research on the chicory but Im not sure I'll be able to experiment with it this year since it's about finished for the season. Might you be considering making a short film for next years film festival? The simple, peaceful and loving life might resonate well after another year of all the turmoil in this world. You would have my vote.🌅💌🤗💃🎥
@@alanunderhill9316 This is a very serious film festival, where large budgets, a large team and serious equipment are required. I like just creativity without expectations and requirements. But thank you for believing in me, dear Alan. It means much more than having a prize on the festival😍🙏
@@DreamyRimma there is just one truth and that is nature. My best guess is we’re not here much longer as a species. However: „We were here. Is a fact, forever true.“ Ruckstuhl
If your parents discover your trickery, do NOT admit to lying. Insist you are an ARTIST! Invoking creativity and ingenuity into making something new. 😊 (glad to see you are in photography again!)
That's what I always say when they dicover my trickery: "I'm an artist and that's how I see it."🙃🙂😉❤thank's for understanding, dear Ron. lots of love and hugs 🙌
@@DreamyRimma Please tell your dad "happy birthday" for me! ❤ Amazing our dad's birthdays are so close together to the equinox. Edit- talking to my wife tonight, the idea that someone 1/2 a world away even knows my dad's birthday means a bunch! Thanks. R
It is Zichorienkaffee, 😊as it is called in german speaking countries. Here this is considered an "old women coffee" 😉 My old aunts would drink it while offering me real coffee. There is also a mix available with maybe 30 percent real coffee to improve the taste. I did taste it too, and consider it drinkable, but a long way from real coffee. It was common during the war years and just afterwards like from 1940 to 1947. Some people got used to it and never again wanted real coffee. I think lies can help to better live together, even when both parties know it is not true. The so-called white lies help to avoid difficult topics and bad events from the past that we suddenly don't remember. Maybe your parents know more about Armenian coffee than you think 😘
My grandma, who lived in the village, drank this chicory with her granny-friends, "for blood sugar." and they washed down their coffee with sweet candies and cookies😁. but she sincerely believed that it helped her. at that time, I also perceived that this drink was for old ladies, and I did not even try it. but, apparently, the time has come for me too🤣. once I saw chicory in a store, remembered my grandma and decided to try it. thanks for sharing your vision, my dear friend. 😘🤗❤
@@DreamyRimma With the right sweets, I could even drink several cups of Armenian coffee 😉 For me, normal coffee has little impact as I can drink several cups and then go to sleep. That is why I probably never have to drink anything else but traditional coffee.
@@DreamyRimma I am not surprised 😊 During the 1960s, US Air Force pilots hat a button in the cockpit. If they got sleepy and pushed it, they got 100% oxygen and that made them instantly very much awake. They didn't need coffee.
Thanks for the beautiful video, Dreamy. There are so many nice things to see in it. Your Dad looks very fit and strong. Nice trick with the "special Armenian coffee 😅" and not wrong at all; just playfulness 😊 Love from Scotland 💐
Thank you, dear Colin. my grandma called me "playful" and she would certainly declassify me, even if she hasn't tried chikory yet. Love and sunny warmth to you🤗💗🌻🍇
Liebe Dreamy Rimma, ich mag deine Beitrag sehr und liebe es auch auf Reisen zu gehen. Besonders lange Zugfahrten, bei denen die Landschaft an einem vorbeirauscht. Schön das du es deinen Eltern ermöglicht hat das Meer zu sehen und natürlich dein Leben zu zeigen. Es ist eine ganz andere Generation und sich hatten Sie für Dich auch ein anderes Leben vorgesehen. Ich kann das sehr gut verstehen, denn meine Eltern haben auch einen Garten (Datscha), in dem sie alles kultivieren. Dort wächst nichts ungeplantes. Es gibt dort niemlas eine wilde Sommerwiese in der sich Insekten tummeln. Bei deinen Rezepten bekomme ich immer Apettit, einfach lecker. Liebe Rimma hats du noch Geschwister? Denn dann müsstest du nicht alle Erwartungen allein erfüllen. ;-D Vielen Dank für den Einblick in deinem Leben. Sei lieb umart und Namsté Thomas 💌 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CAo5HM1cYQk.html
Hallo Thomas. Unsere Mutter hat genug Erwartungen für jeden. aber es stellte sich heraus, dass ich diejenige war, die die Erwartungen nicht erfüllte, ein „schwieriges Kind“, deshalb sagte sie oft scherzhaft, dass sie mich wahrscheinlich in der Entbindungsklinik verwechselt hätten. Sie haben von Wiesenblumen gesprochen. Ich erinnere mich, dass wir, als wir im Dorf lebten, sogenannte Almwiesen angelegt haben. So stand es auf der Samenpackung. Es wuchsen grünes Gras und Blumen - Mohn, Flachs und vieles mehr. Es war wunderschön. grüner Rasen mit hellen Flecken. Nachbarn kamen und sagten: Es ist nicht klar, ob Sie den falschen Rasen oder den falschen Blumengarten haben🤣🤣🤣Umarmungen und Namaste🤗❤🙏
@@DreamyRimma Das ist sehr interssant aber du bist auch nicht auf dieser Welt um irgendeine Erwartung zu erfüllen. Das ist schlicht nicht deine Aufgabe und trotz allem wird es von deiner unmittelbaren Umgebung erwartet. Die Leute vergleichen sich und versuchen dein Leben mit ihren Masstäben einzuschätzen. Das kenne ich zur genüge und bin bisher, zum Glück, bisher nicht niemandem gerecht geworden. In meiner Verwantschaft gibt es viele solche Exemplare, die mich immer wieder das gleich fragen. Aber darüber kann ich entwichen auch schon lachen. Liebste Grüße, wilde Dreamy. 🥰😍🤣
@@montecarlo9131 Das denke ich auch, und deshalb habe ich die Erwartungen von niemandem erfüllt. Es macht übrigens sehr viel Spaß und Freude, das zu realisieren.🙂🙃🤩🤗
@@DreamyRimma Thank you so much Rimma - i am not well - my anxiety levels are very high as i tackle catheter care (waking up 2 times a night) for Dad as well as the endless stream of documents ascociated with the death of my mother.. So your video is a great help for me... I hope youtube remains open in RU as i love watching your videos... Thanks Rimma... Kevin..
Hi Rimma, I have just discovered your channel and loved this video ! Your voice is so so soothing and I completely agree with your deep thoughts, I have similar thinking ! Those kids at the playground are so innocent, that's the basic of life, the simplicity of hugging a doll as if it was a real puppy , doing nothing but listening to the waves, eating good foods and appreciate what you have. Sending you a big hug from Italy XXX
Dear Dreammy. I just made the cottage cheese pudding recipe for dinner and it was great. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe and your parent's trip. As simple as the recipe was (I'm not a great cook), my wife ( a better cook) helped me out and we discussed people we knew who had never been on a vacation. Getting your parents to visit probably meant more to them than they even realize at the moment- and like my uncle, I always need a "week or so" to relax after he's gone! I will attempt the Borscht soup when the weather gets colder here! 😊 Thanks again! Ron
Oh, I am so happy you've made it!!! And, yeah, you I understand me!!! I really need a week or so..and they really realize at the moment. .. I'm so happy to hear from you. Many warm and loving hugs to you and your family.
@@DreamyRimma I'm so glad your parent's loved the trip! We were joking my father and law (about 88 years old) never really vacationed and absolutely didn't like the beach! He owns a lumber mill in "Yancey Mills Va. "and can work me under the table in short order :) I'll share two stories about him. One, we refloored my house and he didn't take a break in over 10 hours. Not even an eat, drink, or pee break. How is that even possible? Second, we were logsplitting wood for firewood. After about 5 hours, I got tired and miscalculated a log, which crushed a my finger and broke it. He told me to suck it up and keep going. I did (of course... he's my father in law)😂😂😂 I drove home with an overloaded trailer of premium firewood. I remember a guy drove by and gave me a "thumbs up". I tried to reciprocate, but my hand was broken!🤣🤣🤣 I went in to my clinic the next day, took an x-ray and my hand really was broken. Not so funny anymore. Oh well... I set the bones myself and eventually things healed. 😉 At any rate, my daughter shared some recipes with me tonight and we will cook them up soon! Her's are halloween recipes. Between the two of you I will be fat!!!!! :) (and as always I enjoyed the piano music in the video!)-thanks! Love from abroad. R
@@ronstuff6330 I love family stories, thanks for sharing with me, Ron. Especially the ones about older relatives, because they're from a whole different generation and sometimes they feel like aliens or movie heroes. Your in-law's stories reminded me of my dad and grandpa, you know? It's so Russian, both from your side and his side. But also human. 🤗😘❤delicious autumn to your family💞💫
Si nella vita ad un certo momento ti rendi conto che vi sono delle "cose" semplici ma che hanno una grande importanza. E che se riesci ad apprezzare tutto quello che hai puoi essere sereno, soddisfatto ...anche felice. Troppe aspirazioni, obbiettivi o progetti possono peggiorare, invece che migliorare, la qualità della nostra vita, ma anche di quelli che vivono con noi o ...vicino a noi. Abbiamo l'età dei tuoi genitori (forse loro hanno lavorato fisicamente più di noi, o la loro esistenza è stata più dura) . Devo anche dire che dall'età di 14 anni ho trascorso poco tempo con loro e dai 23 ancora meno, però non ricordo lunghi periodi lontano da loro (solo le vacanze e le malattie) non avendo neanche fatto l'anno di servizio militare. Quindi mi immagino la gioia nel rivederli, anche la soddisfazione di poter mostrare di avere raggiunto il vostro obbiettivo di stabilirvi al mare, ed il potere, attraverso l'ospitalità di un lungo periodo, restituirgli qualcosa delle tanto che i genitori hanno fatto per noi.
Inoltre ho trascorso poco tempo con i miei genitori da quando mi sono sposato quando avevo vent'anni. Vivevamo però nella stessa città, ma nelle parti più distanti l'una dall'altra. E poi mi sono spostato sempre più lontano...e mi hanno insegnato ad apprezzare le distanze. È stato molto prezioso per me venire dai miei genitori dal villaggio per un paio di giorni, o viceversa, quando sono venuti da noi e stavano insieme. Sognavo un momento in cui avremmo potuto vivere insieme ancora più a lungo. e ora è arrivato))) ciao alla famiglia Frediano🤩🤗❤, qui fa ancora molto caldo, c'è tanta uva deliziosa. Non beviamo vino, probabilmente ce n'è anche molto, non lo so. ma l'uva è strepitosa. Grazie per avermi fatto domande. Ho provato a rispondere così, ma non ho avuto il tempo di raccontare tutto. Continuerò nel prossimo video🤭😘❤❤❤
Dear Dreamy Rimma, You are probably well into the middle of your sleep or maybe starting out a new day as I write this. I am enjoying a "Breakfast Ice Cream" desert at supper time as the sun is setting. It is one of many ideas set forth in the book, "The Glucose Goddess Method" by Jessie Inchauspe. With her recipes she is trying to help people to control the insulin spike as they eat their meals. I found it interesting that as I was having my desert of nut butter, yogurt and frozen rasberries, blueberries and strawberries as you were dishing up some fresh fruit for part of the meal you were sharing for all to see. I think those methods of preparing your meals should be written down in your future cookbook. i am glad you were able to spend some time with your parents and provide a new experience for them by the sea.💌🫐🍽🍨🌅
I love your healthy gourmet food, dear Alan. my berries are called mulberry. I was only able to try them in the south. This tree bears fruit almost all summer. The berries are very sweet. it was even possible to do without raisins. I like to invent healthy dishes based on ordinary recipes. I'm just replacing some products or giving up on them. and it's even more interesting to experiment this way. my warmest sunny greetings to you😘🤗❤🙏🐳
