   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].
