Those pesky Russian doughnuts

I realized belatedly that I never mentioned the Russian doughnuts in my last post. Oh well...

Us in the dorms have discovered Russian doughnuts that are sold at the nearby Vykhino market (right next to the metro stop of the same name). They are denser than American doughnuts and less sweet (amazing, considering how much Russians love sugar). They are SO good and now Francine (my roommate) and I have a whole bag in our room. Uh oh. This is bad. Because now, in addition to all the white food I eat on a daily basis (bread, potatoes, sour cream, cheese, sugar, and eggs) I now have doughnuts. Despite all the walking I'm doing, I don't think I'll be losing any weight due to all these rich foods. Plus, it's hard when the gross food as well as the delicious food are both bad for you.

When I come back in December (which is a looong ways off), I think I will resemble a bloated wedding cake.

That's rough. But I like bloated wedding cakes...at least you'll taste good. :)
