Interesting. Is it a combination of mozzarella, goat cheese and feta? Also, how do I apply to be one of the new, living readers?

My map of Georgian restaurants, mostly in Europe. Could come in handy in an emergency! https://maps.app.goo.gl/7fDeN5W8exkq9TDN6

Go Gary, go! Very much looking forward to the final, finished product. I'm sure it will be a new gem.

When you say that you prefer the egg mixed in, do you mean egg scrambled into the cheese before it’s cooked, or egg mixed in after?

At Chito, the egg is mixed in by the server table side.

... that is, IF your circulatory system survives this Kachapuri whatever, you will endeavour to finish the sucker.

Dear Gary Shteyngart (if I may):

This is Martin Urdiales-Shaw, from the University of Vigo (Spain), the guy who wrote on 'waste' in SSTLS, and currently working on a common thread in your fiction. I would be delighted to review your new novel, once the draft is final, for a journal in Spain, should you be interested.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch , I can be reached at urdiales@uvigo.es

All best,

Martin

If you need an excellent reader who is 25 years old and knows what the youth is reading and liking in NYC (useful/youthful perspective?), I'd be honored to read and comment on the manuscript.

Oh, what I wouldn't give to be able to eat Georgian food right now in celebration of the start of a second draft... but given my misadventures cos-playing Marie Antoinette, I shall have to put everything in the Vitamix until the New Year and well, it's simply not the same. 😂 Still, love hearing about your process. Miss Rebecca Godfrey. Cannot wait for Peggy.
