Also…There is a show within a show as Kim shares her textiles as, “A World of Fabrics Comes to Merritt.This promises to be a fantastic show and very different than what we have had in the past. Kim is a wonderful artist who has chosen textiles as her main medium. I hope you’ll all come to see this show.

One hundred fifteen grams of heart wreaking cheesecake, ingredients include 65 MG of Cholesterol, about a third of the daily recommended maximum. That’s 5% of the two or 3 bites, and the treat includes another 5% sodium.
Great for your next final request before a firing squad. Including the 35% fat.
It is tasty…….
