Curtains of the show, the innocents, finally opened highlighting some good local stage actors. And once you look at the set, there is a portrait, the subject of many strange tales.

The one who owned the portrait for so many years prefers to be unknown. The lady cannot recall why she bought the picture all she knew was she was going down the road, parked suddenly and bought it for reasons unknown to her up to now.

As she stood there waiting for the clerk to take the picture out of the window for her, she thought what am I doing, I can’t afford to buy this picture. It’s almost time for the children to go back to school and books, clothes, and school supplies are to be bought.

She recalls thinking how to tell the clerk that she was no longer going to buy it for she just cannot afford this beautiful piece of art. This lady just had to blurt out, in a very loud voice, that she just had to get the painting no matter her financial situation, and this stopped the clerk from returning the portrait.

She still could not fathom how she bought it as she was paying the clerk and then walked out of the antique shop then her thoughts led to her husband, certain that he would be so mad of her compulsion to buy that thing that she could barely afford at that time. The picture is in oil of a Borzoi, a Russian wolfhound painted by an artist in the late 1800′s or early 1900′s.  Read more...

Branson show tickets are almost always your passkey to a wonderful day or evening, especially when you have tickets to a show that includes a genuine Russian dinner feast. But just what is it about Russian cuisine that makes it so good?

Think of Russian cuisine as the ultimate in comfort food. After all, Russian winters are long and cold. The growing season, therefore, is short, so there’s not a lot of opportunity to have fresh fruits and vegetables. The climate demands that Russian people eat foods that give them the energy they need for plenty of body heat.

So, with these few facts in mind, can you name the top five Russian foods? They are (in alphabetical order) bread, butter, eggs, meat, and potatoes, just about the same foods you’d find in abundance in your own dinner feast. But there are a few other popular ingredients that make their way into Russian food: curds, sour cream, cabbage, garlic, onions, and lard.

Russians know how to combine these staples and peculiarly Russian additions into satisfying entrees.

At the Dinner Adventure (which is unique among Branson, MO, shows in this respect), your dinner feast is based on recipes actually used by Mama Smirnoff back in the old country. Your meal alone is worth the price of your Branson show tickets, yet you get to enjoy that meal in the midst of a real Russian-style circus.  Read more...
