ПРАЗДНИК (из романа «Вис виталис»

— Что за дата, Аркадий Львович?

— Пятьдесят лет в строю, вокруг да около науки.

Были сухари, круто посоленные кубики. Аркадий без соли никуда, даром, что почки ни к черту. И еще удивительный оказался на столе продукт — селедочное масло, божественное на вкус — тонкое, как ни разглядывай, ни кусочка!

— У них машинка такая, — Аркадий все знает.

— Гомогенизатор, — уточняет молодой специалист, — мне бы… наш не берет ни черта.

— Вы всегда о науке, черствый мальчик.

— А вы о чем — и все ночами?

— Мои ночи — тайна… от управдома, и этой — пожарной безопасности.

— Безопасность только государственная страшна. А я вовсе не черствый, просто времени нет.

— Знаю, знаю, вы завороженный. А безопасность любая страшна, поверьте старику.

Подшучивая друг над другом, они к столу. Он накрыт прозрачной скатеркой с кружевами, синтетической, Аркадий раскошелился. Посредине бутыль темно-зеленого стекла, вычурной формы.

— Импорт?

— Наш напиток, разбавленный раствор. Я же говорил — в подвале друзья. Перегнал, конечно, сахара туда, мяты… Это что, сюда смотрите — вот!

— Паштет! — ахнул Марк, — неужели гусиный?

— Ну, не совсем… Куриная печенка. Зато с салом. Шкварки помните, с прошлого года? Аромат! Гомогенизировал вручную.

Аркадий сиял — на столе было: картошечка дымилась, аппетитная, крупная, сало тонкими ломтиками, пусть желтоватыми, но тоже чертовски привлекательными, свекла с килечкой-подростком на гребне аккуратно вылепленной волны, сыр-брынза ломтиками… Были вилки, два ножа, рюмка для гостя и стакан для хозяина. Выпили, замерли, следя внутренним оком за медленным сползанием ликера под ложечку, где якобы прячется душа, молча поели, ценя продукт и потраченное время. Марк сказал:

— Вы умеете, Аркадий, устраивать праздники, завидую вам. Я вспомнил, сегодня у меня тоже дата — отбоярился от военкома. Какие были сво-о-лочи, фантастические, как злорадно хватали, с презрением — вот твоя наука, вот тебе!

— Главное — не вовлекаться, — Аркадий снова твердой рукой налил, выпили и уже всерьез налегли на паштет и прочее. Марк вспомнил походы к тетке по праздникам, гусиный паштетик, рыбу-фиш, шарики из теста, с орехами, в меду…

Аркадий стал готовиться к чаю. — Теперь пирог.

Это была без хитростей шарлотка, любимица холостяков и плохих хозяек, а, между прочим, получше многих тортов — ни капли жира, только мука, сахар да два яйца!

— И яблоки, коне-е-чно… Помните, собирали? — Аркадий тогда захватил сеточку, кстати — яблоня попалась большая, недавно брошена.

— Вот и пригодились яблочки. И яиц не жалел, видит Бог… — он подмигнул Марку, — если он нас видит, то радуется: мы лучшие из его коллекции грешников — честные атеисты

  2. I live in PA and i go to college with his son Austin Breams and he told me about his dad and this video just shows he was a legend. Austin is also going to? go Pro so just wait boys and girls.

  3. Leul meu nu intreaba nici sa-l pici cu ceara si nici pe mine nu ma lasa sa intreb. Asta probabil si pentru ca are un simt al orientarii ceva de speriat. In orase in care n-a fost veci tocmai cand ma ambalez si dau geamul jos sa intreb ma trezesc ca nu mai e nevoie, ca a nimerit strada.In “extravilan” ne descurcam destul de bine cu harta, cu GPS-ul nu ne-am impacat de nici o culoare.

  4. Va scriu din nou spunandu-va ca medicul ginecolog mi-a recomandat tratamentul cu Clexan 0,4ml o fiola pe zi toata perioada sarcinii + lauzia si Actovegin capsule 2 pe zi. Mai nou m-a pus sa fac amniocenteza din cauza varstei la clinica Sanador.As dori daca se poate sa-mi spuneti si parerea dv.cu privire la tratamentul pe care medicul ginecolog m-i la prescris. Mentionez ca am 19 saptamani de sarcina si 40 de ani si 10 luni.Multumesc.

  5. Ahoj, psala si, že chceš studovat diplomacii, tak by mě jenom zajímalo jestli už víš o nějaký VŠ? Jinak preju hodne stesti k tvemu pobytu, me se ten muj uz dost krati.

  7. For 25 years we have been creating all types of tax exempt savings vehicles on the principle that it would lead to greater savings.The results have been a collapse in the personal savings rate to essentially zero.Why do economist want to continue this policy experiment that has obviously been a complete failure?

  10. REPLY TO B HUNTERYou do pose an extremely pertinent question. If this was such a good result for all centres, why have some decided to fulfil their pledge to walk away and why are there still propaganda tools, including petitions and Facebook pages protesting against imminent eviction, still in place?On the one hand, they are claiming victory whilst, on the other, they are continuing to ask people to sign petitions. How can such collective schizophrenia be explained?

  11. hey, schöner bericht! bin schon gespannt auf die videos!schade, dass wir die beiden “terrorcocker” nicht bei ihrer arbeit am springer gefilmt haben,denn das war echt filmreif!auf dem foto von chi und paul, sieht sie allerdings aus als wollte sie einfach nur weg von ihm und das foto von uns 4 haben wir auch vergessen. das holen wir dann im august nach, wenn ich es denn schaffe zu kommen!

  13. When I first saw this title How you can get the Cheapest Car Insurance Premium for Your New Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Coupe from The Hanover | Cheap General Auto Car Insurance Quotes Online on google I just whent and bookmark it. Do you have requirements for syndicating your entries?We would be extremely intrerested in translating a few of your posts into Greek for our sites viewers, and wondered what your stance on this would be. I will of course be sure to include a link back to your site.

  14. I felt great joy in looking at all your pictures. These are stunning pictures. How marvellous that you were able to have this family meeting. I am sure you had a lot to talk about. I very much love what you write about joy. Thanks for sharing.

  18. thank you for all your efforts that you have put in this. Very interesting info. “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.” by Clive Staples Lewis.

  19. Undeniably imagine that which you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be at the internet the easiest thing to take note of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst people consider worries that they plainly do not recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as well as defined out the whole thing with no need side effect , other folks could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks!

  20. Absolut. Si mai ales daca slanina e putin afumata, untura care iese din ea e delicioasa 🙂 Imi imaginez si branza aia framantata (sau de burduf) in coaja de brad… iar in mamaliga putin busuioc proaspat tocat… O poezie :)Bunica mea mai facea (aceleasi 3 Gratzii – slanina, branza, mamaliga) un fel de sandwich: mamaliga un picutz mai tare ramasa de peste zi prajita in putina untura pe ambele parti, intins pe ea branza de burduf si o feliutza prajita – crocanta aproape – de slanina… si sa nu uitati de tuica dinainte 🙂

  21. Citizen, now we really get to the heart of the matter. I’ve suspected for some time that these Mondo Occupiers don’t actually disagree with Phil. Rather they just think he should have a good healthy prison mentality like they do. Jews stick with Jews. Very sad.I guess this means that Gaza isn’t the only open air prison. The settlers like Eitan, and the Zionists in general, live in a prison in their own minds.

  23. its actually quite true since beats by dre is actually not qulity at all, its only functions by marketing. i mean it is a decent company,but definitly not a quality one. but the design they do is dope

  24. Morgan I completely understand your frustration. When I first started purchasing at ThemeForest I too got unlucky with the themes I bought. But, I decided to give it another shot a year later and got lucky with my purchase. I know a lot of the themeforest authors, so if you need help finding a specific type of theme, just let me know and I’d be happy to help you find a high-quality one

  25. Great post. It made me think about things on my website. I doo have a photo but I will probably look for a better one soon, I did now change my contact form including questions as you suggested. It looks much better now. I have made info about my city easyer to find. Thanks a lot for sharing those inspiring tips. Hope to be the luky winner of a half an hour skype! HAve fun!Martin recently posted..[]

  26. Good stuff Fairway Stevie:Highlands is still in my top 3 world-wide courses, can’t wait ot get back.The only thing missing was service, has that improved? We’d walk down from the lodge, catch a cart key, load our hooks and go to the first tee – no problem (save a tip) but some might expect more. We found Crowbush at PEI similar the first round but once you become “regulars” it improved. HOWEVER, the service was outstanding at Bedeck (Bell Bay).

  27. please stop calling Chad Green the younger brother of Trayvon Martin. That is not true. There is no relationship between those two boys. What is now clear is that the story that Chad Green asked TM to get Skittles was made up as a cover… especially when Skittles are an ingredient in the making of a potent drug.

  28. “Saturday morning report from the mountain. The work on the site started at 6 a.m., with the sounds of earth moving equipment active at 6:30 a.m. Earth moving equipment was working all day Friday and all day Thursday.”Yay!

  29. Aux USA, le crédit fait partie du mode de vie, et cela ne date pas d’hier. Ouvrir les vannes du crédit, les américains en redemanderont.Il est certain que si tout le monde devenait frugal, la crise serait encore plus terrible. Dois-je vous conseiller de consommer vos revenus et votre épargne pour faire preuve d’altruisme et sortir le monde de la crise ?

  34. Montaineàcheval ironise sur l’espéranto au sujet du préfixe des contraires, mal-.Il semble ignorer que cet affixe existe aussi en français. Or donc, qu’il trouve ici un modeste apport à son vocabulaire : malheureux (mal-heureux), malhabile (celui qui n’est pas habile), maladroit (je vous laisse chercher…)

  36. Man, speak about a fantastic post! I?ve stumbled across your blog a couple of Instances within the previous, but I usually forgot to bookmark it. But not once more! Thanks for posting the way in which you do, I genuinely appreciate seeing somebody who really has a viewpoint and isn?t truly just bringing back up crap like almost all other writers right now. Maintain it up!

  37. Much obliged for the article and for publishing a good site. I have been searching for honest information on natural health and can put this information to use. I have found it hard to find honest recommendations, as there are so many web sites with junk information. Certainly keep it flowing!

  40. Thank you Marcia, Sometimes people don’t realize what they are doing sometimes they do. I know where my heart is and it’s w/ my children and the shared excitement in reading and writing. Fun fact, my daughter (now 5) and I are collaborating on a book for children now. Just need to find an illustrator.What keeps you writing when things are chaotic, hectic or ‘getting in the way’?~ Cat

  41. "The Wind and the Lion". It was set in Morocco, but it's not a far stretch to move it to Libya.One of the best military scenes in film history — a company of Marines double-timing through the narrow streets, with Springfields at port-arms, in formation, with a cadence.

  42. , “What about potty-training?” Her response, “There is time and so many other things to focus on. I want you to just let that go.”And so I did. From that moment, I knew I was going to love his teacher.Of course, when I got a foot in the face last night changing my son’s diaper, it was hard not to dream of the day when he would use the potty.Good luck to you both!

  43. Pretty nice post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wished to mention that I have truly loved surfing around your weblog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I’m hoping you write again very soon!

  49. that particular Rep wasn’t authorized to use their logo on his site – never even addressed the Silver issue. They later told me they were NOT dealing in silver yet but would let me know when. Every KB site is making claims about Gold and Silver backed savings accounts. It’s not true. That’s called lying. Care to revise your comments – or clarify?

  50. No problem. I’ve been wanting to do a build like this for a while now so I’ve checked into parts and what not. Obviously, money has postponed my build. lol It’s a beautiful truck man and I can only hope my future build is half this quality.

  51. Havent read this yet but im very sad to hear how disappointing this book turned out. I got so excited when I heard that avengers and xmen were forming a team. Marvel lets me down. Again

  52. Yes, you are so right.We called the next generation child is the “Strawberry generation” in Taiwan.As eastern people always want to give their children the best, so some childs will take it for granted.

  53. Amazing. Truly, inspiringly, AMAZING! I love the way you cut out those shapes and backed them all fuzzy and Cherish-y. And the presentation of your project with the rotating pictures? I love it! I want to do that! The song is very catchy, too. Everything about this is wonderful and I’m honored that you used my die.

  56. that we should work towards a gracious society, I support him 100%. Being gracious is to be considerate and understanding. Slapping a fine of $500 for someone having a sweet to sooth her throat is going the complete opposite direction. It is a show of arrogance and encouragement of intolerance. You might as well suggest just chop her head off on the spot!

  57. Ok, Tak for svaret… Syntes bare at man bliver ved med at høre at Jones har en enorm upside som pass-rusher, sÃ¥ tror og hÃ¥ber at han vil blive brugt som sÃ¥dan, sÃ¥fremt han bliver draftet af Chargers.Er iøvrigt enig med Jacob i at Mercilus ser lidt suspekt ud som OLB og der er en 4-5 stykker jeg hÃ¥ber de kigger pÃ¥ istedet for Mercilus som Pass-Rusher. Han eller trade-up efter Barron ville være Worst-case i mine øjne.

Niente di particolare, caro Paolo, pù o meno è tutto concentrato in questa frase: “osservo – con malcelato stupore e sdegno – come la vita possa cambiare esattamente da un giorno all’altro, senza nemmeno avere il buon senso di chiedere un tuo parere“. Magari questo contribuirà a donarmi quel pizzico di esperienza che, nella vita di un uomo, non è mai abbastanza.

  59. Generally I don’t read article on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to try and do it! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thank you, quite great post.

  60. “Oh.. Hey Nikki.” This made me blush more. Chloe then shouted “How much did you here of it?!” Her eyes were wide. “None of it.” I said, confused. That’s when Brandon started to sweat and ran off saying “Sorry Nikki. Um, gotta go write another news article about… The new teacher!” Before I could protest, Chloe and Zoey whisked me off into the other direction.
