Hi, Mike!  Recently you wrote in a message to Denis Mosko:

MP>  [...] boiled collard greens and black eyed peas,
MP>  with a side of cornbread.

MP>  I believe that is the same tradition with some
MP>  in the USA, at least the black eyed peas and
MP>  cornbread are.


          Uh-huh.  The original author of this message lives in North
Carolina, not in Russia.  Denis changed only the "Subj" line & the
geographical name.

          I think he's trying to learn English by copying patterns & trying
out variations on them.  This can be a useful learning strategy at times, but
it is confusing to the rest of us when we can't be sure who said what or
whether he's reporting accurately here in E_T what's going on in his life...
[wry grin].
