More crap about tea

According to one of my roommates (and this she heard from a friend in her Russian class), there is such a thing as vegetarian green tea. Apparently it tastes like bubble gum with dirt in it.

First off, I thought tea was vegetarian to begin with - it's made from plants, unless some meat extract is randomly added that I've been missing out on for the last few years. And secondly, bubble gum with dirt? Really?

Life is so weird...

Bush Legs

So I was reading an article from Slate today about how apparently America ships dark meat chicken to Russia because we (oddly enough) consider it waste and Russia had a chicken shortage at one point in time. I mentioned this to my roommate, [Львица], who spent a semester in Russia last year. "Oh yeah!" she said. "I know that!" She went on to tell me that because this shipment of chicken to Russia had begun during Bush's time as president, her host family called chicken legs "Bush legs." Perfect. :)
