Flashback: Easter

Per chance you didn't visit moi
this past Saturday
here's a little of what you missed out on
besides moi, of course.
;-)


Bunnies
(Suitable for Vegetarians, too! ;-)


Eggs & Carrots
(Protein & Beta Carotene, kinda! ;-)


Peanut Butter Eggs
(A jin may be capable of consuming 4 per sitting *blush* ;-)


Truffles, Mints & Petit Fours
(Some of the sexiest candy money can buy. ;-)


Organic Cheesy Herb Scones & Brioche
(A jin can quite possibly become addicted to this buttery eggy bread forsaking all other breads before it. ;-)

Now listen up!
I want ALL of you
to go over to my
ba-uddy Scott's blog.
He's having another one of his fantabulous contests!
Tell him "jin" sent you!
Because if YOU win
I win too!
Just like last time.

Slow jin

I really didn't expect it.
I swear she waited
Until my hands were full
with 12 Large Boxes of Pastry
to start chasing me.
Quite obviously
I could not outrun her
Therefore
The Infamous Persimmons Gal
reached out with her
blue paint encrusted hand
and tagged me
hard
on what was once
a clean white t-shirt.
Drat.
So here it is
A jinbarrassing purge
7 freakish things about moi

1. I taste absolutely every component I make just to ensure it's always perfect. I'm talking frostings, fillings, cakes, cookies, chocolates, fruits etc.

2. I run up & down the steps at my shoppe as often as possible. Most likely several hundred times per day. I always feel the need to burn off as much as I taste all the time!

3. I never waste food. Nothing goes in the garbage. Old apples & carrot cake scraps go to the bunnies outside. The squirrels get dodgy nuts, imperfect scones & any too-hard cookies or bar scraps. I have a few favoured crows & gulls that get anything else that happens to be lying around.

4. The ancient secret revealed (!) how to make a jin squeal with delight for under 3 bucks:
1 bottle of Blueberry Izze &
1 package of Newman's Own Organic Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

5. I never take my watch off.

6. Anytime I am unsure about something I consult one of my many Tarot decks. I have certain decks for certain questions. They never let me down... even if it's not what I want to hear/know.

7. You're all waiting for the risqué entry, aren't you?!
Well... I'll have to think about it for a minute.
Oh... there might be one last thing...
Useless talent #582
a jin can completely undo a mans belt & pants using only her toes.
