[...] but I think it reads smoothly. Oh, and for those new or who have forgotten, here’s where Dimitri met Shuar, and then here, and some follow-up scenes (and one more) (I’d point you to the Shuar tag, but [...]

Actually, the name Dmitri means “dedicated to Demetra”, the ancient Greek goddess of fertility. Go figure.

“Girls, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Dmitri won’t be pestering you for a while.”
“Why not?”
“That’s the bad news.”

@Christopher, just so you can maintain accuracy: The Jewish/Ukrainian/Eastern European way of spelling the dish in English is “borscht”. The RUSSIAN way (and the proper way, if you’re going to do a proper transliteration) is “borshch” — no “t” at the end. (Trust me. My wife was always correcting me on this.)

For those who haven’t had the pleasure, borshch is a vegetable soup made with whatever you’ve got around. She grew up in the Caucuses, so her borshch was always green, with lots of cabbages and green veggies in with the pork. In Ukraine the farmers would grow a lot of beets, so their borscht is (usually) purple. Maybe the regional variations is something you can explore in cookrookery.

The “shch” at the end of the word, BTW, is the Cyrillic letter that looks like a square “W” with a little tail at the end, and has the same sound as the middle of the phrase “fresh cheeks”.
