A long time ago, in the far, far North, in a frosty family, there lived a girl Shrovetide. And then one day, in the most severe and sad time of the year, a man asked her to warm and cheer people. Maslenitsa, of course, agreed. Only before people she appeared not in the form of a fragile girl, but in the form of a portly Russian woman, with ruddy cheeks, sly eyes and a deafeningly infectious laugh. And people forgot about the winter, and they set off "to eat until hiccups, drink until they are overjoyed, sing until they are tired and dance until they drop" ...

Before our stomachs had time to rest from the January feast ten days, as imperceptibly the Wide Shrovetide came - a wild, cheerful, "honest sister of thirty brothers, forty grandmothers, granddaughter, daughter of three mothers." We don’t know what about grandmothers and brothers, but the fact that this is the most riotous and satisfying folk holiday inherited from our pagan ancestors is an undeniable fact. This week - the last week before Lent - we eat a lot and with pleasure. In particular, we lean on pancakes with milk-cream and fish-caviar fillings. We proudly move the pancake with meat - the meat-eater ended last week.

Today we are waiting for our mother to visit us at the “mother-in-law evening”. On Saturday we arrange “sister-in-law gatherings”, and in the intervals between baking and eating golden rounds, do not forget to ride a sled, build and storm ice fortresses, play snowballs, burn a ritual scarecrow, in general, actively participate in all mass entertainments that are on this week are arranged everywhere. Well, if it’s not leisure to bake pancakes yourself, it’s somehow not decent to ask for a visit, but it’s not comme il faut for well-bred young ladies to sing and dance in the cold in an unfamiliar and probably slightly drunken crowd, then you should go to our favorite “home catering” and high-society restaurants, who have prepared a special “Shrovetide menu” so that even the busiest and most businesslike people can enjoy the pancake week and spend the winter with dignity.
