Hear about that Louisiana family that tried to survive a year without buying anything made in China?

The Bongiornis of Baton Rogue had to live without most favorite and essential items.

Not The Editor. The Editor’s favorites and essentials aren’t made by coolies:

Sumatra coffee, Splenda sweetener, pinot noir wine, Irish Spring bath soap, P51 Mustangs, Thompson submachine guns, Staples gel pens.

Gray Flannel aftershave, non-aromatic English tobacco, Canadian-style pipes, Porsche 911 Targas, peanut butter, sugarless blackberry jam, low-carb rocky road ice cream, carbonated flavored mineral water, neat gin martinis, Wild Turkey whiskey.

Smoke House garlic bread, caesar and bleu cheese salad dressings, Idaho baked potatoes, Heinz 57 steak sauce, maple-flavored bacon, large-curd cottage cheese, chicken alfredo, London grill steaks, London pale ale.

Labrador retrievers, can coon cats, wood/leather furniture, WWII fiction, earth tones, Jockey briefs, side-zipper boots, tomatoes and squirrels. (26 AUGUST 2007)
