• Не раскатывай губы! (imperfectivе, colloquial)
[ni ras-ka-ty-vay gu-by]
SLT: Don't roll out your lips!
Meaning:
To want to get too much, to set one's sights on something, fat chance, to stop drooling over smth/smb
Origin:
it is associated with baking 'калачи' (rolls). Before putting the roll in the oven, a cut was made on it, which was called a lip. The cut was rolled out and filled with sugar, nuts and raisins, and then rolled back up. When the roll was ready, the hole opened and resembled an open mouth.

• Чайный гриб
[chay-nyj grip]
🔻Tea mushroom, (also Kombucha, tea fungus, or Manchurian mushroom) is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetened black tea drink.
🔻By the early 20th century it spread to Russia, then other parts of Eastern Europe and Germany.
🔻Almost every family used to grow it at home in the USSR. I guess even nowadays there are people who grow this tea mushroom in Russia.
🔻Tea mushroom resembles a jellyfish swimming in a three-liter jar.
🔻It was said to reduce toxicity in the liver, have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and even lower blood sugar.
❓Have you ever tried kombucha?

The railway passes through hard-to-reach areas: permafrost, swamps and mountain rivers. Engineers adapted the rails to these conditions. No one had done this before the Trans-Siberian Railway!
The railway passes through almost 90 cities.
