Veronika Frankel

riding with Lucile
I don't usually take short term visitors but something about Veronika made me say YES!

A ski patrol professional in winter and landscaper in summer, she was between the seasons looking for some California sunshine.  She emigrated from Russia when she was six and shared two of her grandmother's recipes for delicious meals.  Koteleti is a savory beef dish and Olivier is a delicious Russian style potato salad similar to the one made by Sasha last summer.  It had dill, carrots, ham, pickles cucumber, peas and eggs tossed in a dijon dressing.  So good.

Veronika was skilled with the horses and put her landscaping skills to use improving the front lawn and garden area as well as harvesting goat food.  One of a few who was able to milk the goats on her first try.  We wish her a safe and happy trip back to Colorado and hope to see her again.
