I wonder if the SS checked out that bread before the President tasted it.

Love the colorful Ukrainian costumes. Thanks for the Dose and reposting those fantastic toasters.

The cloth runner that they are giving President Bush, is that a “traditional” piece? My brother in law was stationed in Kiev for 2 years several years ago and my sister brought me one back. I have it in a drawer, never really did know what to do with it.
