Nah, just old bread, and the "wrong" corn. I bought "sweet corn" and she wanted "salt corn" because you cannot "mix sweet with salt" and she was using it for a stew or sorts.

"Alla, there is nothing else BUT sweet corn,it is ALL sweet corn"

"this corn is TOO sweet. In Ukraine we have other corn, not sweet corn"

"At 10 pm on Sunday night? You have Kruschev corn, it is fed to cows here" :P

"Garichka, Garik, Garozha, my sweetheart, my love (as she approaches me seductively, reaching for private parts) LOOK AT THIS CORN!...do NOT buy it again!!!!!!!!"

:lol:

Next time ask her where corn originally came from. Tell her we don't sell Bolshevik corn here in the states, hence the reason we are the tallest country in the world.

Kira pulled that ####### with canned veggies, mac and cheese in the box, etc.. and I told her if she want to take time to buy what she likes fine, but don't ask me to cook it and don't ask me to shop for it. Iv'e seen the ####### they try to pass off as meat over there and like I told Kira, the only time anyone salts meat and/or fish is to preserve it. Here we don't sell it because we eat it while it's still bleeding.

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

That's weird... I put salt and butter on local sweet corn, tastes just the same as it did in Russia. My parents liked it too, they were also surprised that it's cooked really fast.

My husband puts salt, butter and Old Bay on his corn - it's too much for me.

the only time anyone salts meat and/or fish is to preserve it. Here we don't sell it because we eat it while it's still bleeding.

We buy fresh salmon and I salt it. My husband loves it.

I don't know what you mean when you talk about salting meat... :unsure: I mean... there is "salo", but it's not meat, really.

Over in Belarus they are big on salted meat...maybe due to refrigeration...not sure. But anything here that can be cooked "quick and easy" is bad in her eyes. When she goes shopping it takes twice as long as it does for me for the fact she reads the labels and see's what's in the stuff. I mean I never read a label. She's coming around but it's all part of the "de-Stalinization process". :D

He sounds like an East coaster. They salt and spice the ####### out of everything. It's amazing those people back east have any taste buds left.

I do read the labels, but I'm OK with the "quick and easy" stuff once in a while... The way I think about it: in Russia we eat so much pork and put mayo or sour cream nearly on anything... some canned greens aren't going to hurt me, probably.

It's interesting how they have anything "organic" even the canned food.

that sounds like a cologne. :blink:

:lol:

It's a type of seasoning:

Yep. I loooove eating blue crab with melted butter seasoned with Old Bay... I like it on other seafood, but people here use it for nearly everything...

They also eat cantaloupe with salt and black pepper on it :blink:

Salt and pepper on cantaloupe? Oh god. I know some east coasters that put salt on their watermelon also. :wacko:

And on the pork...I think we have pork here at least five times a week. I think Iv'e ate more pork and sausage in the past two years that all my previous years combined.

Alla loves corn on the cob. I do not boil it. I boil the water, turn off the flame and drop in the corn for about 3 minutes, tender but crunchy. She LOVES it... but not for her stew.

:lol: Pork is easy to cook and there are a lot of ways to cook it.

We don't eat that much pork though... All we have right now is actually chicken and venison.

My husband is joking about how much potatoes we eat though... He says he used to buy 2 bags of potatoes a month, now we get 2 bags of potatoes every week or two :lol:

Oh god the potatoes. How could I forget about them. Like almost every night. I fry them with onions now so I don't have to eat them boiled. I mean how many boiled potatoes can someone eat?
