I decided to keep the Martini for myself, though.

I think getting drunk off her ass was the fallback plan.

She can't eat bread and water for a week?
I guess she's never been sent to the gulag.

I'm glad to see the return of the correct spelling of "vodka".

I love the not so subtle praise for the 'patriotic villagers' while simultaneously berating the urban population. Gee, that hasn't been done before in Russian history.

If that's what passes for "cute" on the internet these days we're all doomed.

It'd be easy to live for a week on American only food, if you wanted to. Just live off of stuff grown at a local variety type farm with a store. There is a place near here that grows and sells corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, asparagus, apples, pears, plums, peaches (yes, near Lake Erie we can grow peaches, but I've heard not more than 10 miles away, don't know if it's true), squash, pumpkins, lettuce, cabbage. All sorts of stuff. It's not all harvested at the same time, of course, but all summer long they have a ton of locally grown food you can eat. Finding locally made eggs is usually pretty easy as well. Meat wouldn't be too much of a problem. If you want to do it, just don't go to a grocery store. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with going to the grocery store, I'm just saying it's easy to avoid them if you don't mind a simple diet and want to support local farmers.

You're saying she isn't cute? I'm not going to say she's the hottest girl ever to have a picture on the internet, but she is cute.

Oh, geez, America would be simple. You can't go on American food for a week, you're hopeless. Russia, though? Bit harder.

And EAT BUGS people. Dear lord, if you are hungry bugs are fine. They are high in protein and you can eat them straight off of the body of your deceased sexual partner.

FTA : "A KP correspondent bet her editor she could go a week without Chinese goods and failed miserably. She soon learned all the wonders of modern-day society are made in China - computers, phones, TVs and clothes. Her penalty was a second assignment. She had to live a week eating only Russian food products."

So that girl lost a sucker bet, so she takes another stupid ass bet?

She is a bit of an idiot that one. I can see why her editor keeps her around.

/In Russia the idiot is you!

More people should do this. Most of the vehicle pollution comes from transporting food cross-country, so if we would all eat produce grown or raised within 25 miles of home, we would cut more vehicle emissions than if we all switched to hybrid cars.

Of course, I live in southern California, so that is easy for me to say...

All the Russian potatoes make their way into vodak bottles.

You're a dumbass if you think that's plausible. What that would encourage is growing food in lands marginal for that kind of production, which will destroy the topsoil incredibly fast. Unless you don't want anybody north of Mobile to eat citrus fruits.

Borscht, Blini, Shashlek (I mis-spelled for sure), Vodak, canned black bread, canned beef and pork, Russian sausage, canned fish, smoked fish, caviar, white cherries, the list goes on and on....lots of native foods in Russia

That is the imported food she can't eat. That is why is looking at it so longingly, with such passion and disire in her dark, limpid eyes.
