Born in t</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">he sprawling metropolis of Moscow, Ksenya headed to the States, via a few stops, at the age of six. Eventually, she started going by a shorter, more pronounceable name of Kasey, but the poet in her will still always be Ksenya.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Oe6Akl3-M8M/S15rz5urz4I/AAAAAAAAB40/dvf4qFeAlH8/s1600-h/DSC_0799-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Oe6Akl3-M8M/S15rz5urz4I/AAAAAAAAB40/dvf4qFeAlH8/s320/DSC_0799-1.JPG" border="0" height="320" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So why eating/sf? And what's up with the carrots? Carrots are a childhood love: their crunchiness, sweetness, and sunny orange disposition. Early on, Kasey gained</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> the loving nickname of 'Zayez,' or rabbit, granted upon her by her grandfather. The carrots are a tribute to this nickname and to the simple comforts of home.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This site combines her deep love of writing with her growing interest in healthy, delicious food (both created in her home and enjoyed out at the lovely establishments of her city). It's also a way for her to share her travels and her life wherever it intersects with food and drink (on a daily basis!).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">While eating/sf is a blog about food, it has also become a blog about music.
