Blueberries

Sasha's sister just brought a bucket of fresh blueberries. It weighed 7.15 kilograms with the bucket! We ate them with homemade yogurt for dinner (9:30pm). Sasha suggested we should also add some cottage cheese for more calcium. It was an excellent suggestion. Delicious! This family eats a LOT of fresh fruits and vegetables every day. During the first two weeks of my stay, they got regular deliveries of strawberries from their dacha, by autobus. Now it's time for blueberries. Lesya and Sasha are very conscious about eating healthy foods, but every meal includes cheese, sour cream, and/or yogurt. Fat-free dairy hasn't been seen here, in this family, at least not by me. It's delicious, but I think about how conscious we are in the US about every molecule of cholesterol we eat.
