Evidently, I'm Astoundingly Awesome!

...or so I was told.
Ummm... in so many words.
;-)

A Grande Blogorary Award has been bestowed upon Moi
Courtesy of The Great Dr. Zaius.
It shall enter my sidebar as soon as I finish re-adding all my links!

The Dardos Award is described thus: An award given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing. These stamps were created with the intention of promoting fraternization between bloggers, a way of showing affection and gratitude for work that adds value to the Web.

Now
whilst I pass this honour to others
please help yourself to some Truffles & Lemon Cupcakes


Eat several...
...I like to watch.
;-)
MMMmmm-ing out loud is encouraged as well.
;-D

Please pardon the construction dust... I've a few more things to tidy up round here (like replacing all of your links!) then it'll be back to blogging as per usual.

Care for a Cup of Tea with Me?

Why... I can't seem to stop watching this video. Oh dear, might that be why I've not been posting regularly? Or could that possibly have something to do with the fact that any & all who know about my mad pastry skillz have been inundating me with orders for thousands of loverly delectables nearly every single day for the past two weeks straight? Oh I'm so giddy! I LOURVE my job!



Be patient with me peeps. I'm actually revamping jintrinsique & once that's fin you will have regular fabulous posting as per my norm. Promises!!!

I've Been Jinterviewed!

One of my most Fabulous BlogFriends

who call themselves
"Three Dames With A Clue"
where they will feature all sorts of other Fabulous Dames
Including Moi!

Attitude of Gratitude

Goodness! I bet you've all thought I forgot about you! Not the case my darlings. Jinny's got her priorities & anyone who knows me, knows that I put my pastry shoppe before anything else. In a time when businesses are closing left & right, I am truly thankful that I am so busy. Plus, how lucky am I to be located in an area that appreciates the hard work I put into all of my hand-crafted high quality pastries?! Simply Fabulous!

Muffins sweetened w/Local Honey, Black Strap Molasses & a touch of Dark Brown Sugar topped with my very own Scratch-Made Butter & Cinnamon Streusel.

A Chocolate Cookie Lovers Dream Come True, created with 5 different types of Chocolate.

Lemon Berry Dreams (zoom in on the card for their description).


Don't worry about me everyone. I do take a break every now & again. My last afternoon away was spent hanging out at the coolest place I've been in a long time.

JDC bought me a 'lil something. Look at how uniquely Persimmons Gal packages your purchases!

[Please Note: this is not a joke! The question was genuinely asked with sincerity.]

Upon eying my glorious display of pastries for sale the customer asks:
"Is all this for free?"

There's A Blogfan at my Door! The Holday Edition

I'm so late in posting this!
Where are my manners?

My most recent meatspace/Blogger collision
was a dude who flew all the way from Florida
just to meet moi!

You might know him as
PulpMonkeyBoy
(cause he's responsible for the ePulp mag Astonishing Adventures)
(shameless plug: Buy it at Amazon!)
or as
John Donald Carlucci
(cause that's his name)

We spent 11 fun filled days
eating
walking in snow
eating
walking in snow
eating
walking in... er- you get the picture

Oh Oh Oh
AND
he brought DVD's.
OMG
did we watch flix!
This boy owns tons of the weirdass type of films
that this here jin adores!
We had a blast.

What?
Oh!
You want pix?
Nosy 'lil buggers aren't you?!
Wellllll...
ok.
But just one.
This is me & PulpMonkeyBoy
in the Airport parking lot.

He was much shorter than I expected.



Pssssssst!
Yo!
Did you hear the rumour?
I heard
this MonkeyBoy dude
actually packed up all his stuff
got in his car &
set his navigation system to
Manitowoc Wisconsin!

I wonder if it's true?
I wonder if he liked my cooking?
I wonder why he'd do something like that if it is jindeed true?
