KKS is moving!
Just can't deal with LJ's loopy formatting and post size limits any more. I'm packing up and moving the kit AND the kaboodle to Tumblr.

Strange brews
IT LIVES! Yes, the blog doth live. It never died, it just hates typing things out and dealing with LJ chicanery, but is far too lazy to go to Tumblr or whatever the big thing is now. HTML: I hate you, my dear old friend.

Ukrainian/Russian Chocolate Bars
My new neighbourhood is very . . . . . Lululemonvanilla, ethnically speaking. It's a big change from where I used to live, which was unofficially Little Iran with pockets of Littler Korea and small Duchies of The Philippines. So imagine my surprise when I walked through downtown PoMo and saw a Mexican restaurant/catering business, a Trinidadian ( Read more... )
