Ah... apparently, those are considered very old-fashioned. The more
usual blini/blintz these days is is yeast-and-egg with wheat flour and
cooked like a crepe. I can't afford caviar, but they're pretty good
filled with salmon and creme fraiche.

although my Russian cooking is probably not as good as her mother's,
mine doesn't come with a guilt trip. Her only regret is that I keep
calling my varenyky pierogi.)
