Happy Easter
	 
    
    
     
    
С праздником Пасхи for anyone who speaks Russian...Misha, I'm looking in your direction ;-)

Reading a Russian cookbook had inspired me at one point to try making a Куличи (Kulich) for the occasion, but it never happened.  Oh well.
        
    
   
  
  
  
  
  
 
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
     
    
    
	 
	 Yep, you heard me.
	 
    
    
     
    Homemade pads.  Read the bottom article, especially.
The first part contains instructions for making them.  After one pilot, I made 3 in various sizes, and used cheap washclothes (and the theatre department's overlock machine) to make the liners.
Special requests will be taken for christmas/birthday/mother's day/menarche gifts, or for your own use.  Leave me a comment and we will get in touch.
If you are more for internal protection, I use and approve of

	 Balalaika
	 
    
    
     
    Just so the 
dumbek doesn't feel lonely, today's instrument of the day is the 
balalaika.


If you're in the mood for something sillier, try 
this one or similarly 
this one.

    I found a tin of cinnamon Altoids chewing gum in the Media Library's lost-and-found.  Now it's mine.

Mmmmm, the spiciness...
