I recently tried to concoct a truly Russian mixed drink-vodka and beet borscht, blended with a dab of sour cream and topped off with a miniature boiled potato.

Among them: gang green, forever amber, sick bay, hash brown, dorian grey, hi ho silver and statutory grape. Upcoming out of Quakertown: a shirt in "unforeseeable fuchsia...
