FIRST OBSERVATION
I just realized that I spoil those around me with affectionate 'sweet' gifts on a ridiculously regular basis.
Example: If I happen to be stopping in at a friends business or home I'll take each person there a mini assortment of goodies. (The word mini is used loosely here. This is MY blog & I make the rules. So there.)
Outcome: This makes miss jin happy! (I think the recipients may be slightly pleased, as well. Maybe I shouldn't assume, though? ;-)
SECOND OBSERVATIONChampagne grapes are now in season. Availability is very limited. Sadly, the season runs short; at about 1 month. So, if you want these on your wedding cake you have to get married tomorrow or next week.
Note: I can't get them for tomorrow & I'm booked solid next week. I guess you're SOL. Try next year if you're still together.
Flavour profile: Yummy!!! Teeny tiny too!!!
FINAL OBSERVATION
I have a dear old Auntie that used to work in the shoppe full-time. She had a stroke & can no longer speak, which limits her ability to infrequent kitchen chores instead of waiting on customers, as she was used to doing.
Most remembered phrase: 'Peanut Squares'.
Why: She spoke relatively quickly, always trying to get the next word out before she finished the first word. On occasion this caused the blurp of a new & 'interesting' phrase from Auntie Emily. Many a customer would stare at her in stunned silence when she skipped the "t" on the end of peanut & squashed the 2 words into one. Say it with me people, in her honour, "PeanuSquares".

I'm chanting the mantra! hahaha!
I'm so loving those champagne grapes! Very nice!
And yes, you were supposed to email moi!
LOL peanusquare???? Oh I can just imagine the blank and horrorfied looks she must have gotten.
Are those anything like Peanusauce, that we put on pad thai?
Mmmmm... quadrilateral legumes...
The peanisquares sound odd, but look scrummy ;)
I'd wish you'd stop by my home or office with goodies.
But with my luck, I'd get peanusquares.

Reminds me of when #2 son learned to say dump truck. He would point and yell Dum-phruck. Eyebrows would rise.
HAHA, legumes, hahaha...

Hey everyone,
Too busy to sit down for even a second tonight...

Cool pics coming Saturday night! A nifty dot cake with matching cookies & a big wedding cake.
Perhaps you could cater a bachelorette party with those.
I'll chant peanusquares, but you know that I am all about the marzipan penii! ;-)
I love those champagne grapes but I didn't realize they had such limited availability. :(
cp: OOooo...Good idea!!! I need to create a 'special' dirty brochure! ;-)
lesley: Yes, yes...lesley & her penii...just marzipan? Or sometimes do you like "REAL penii?!!? ;-)

Peanus sauce on fat thighs? WHat's GG on about?

Hahahahaha!!!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ohhh, I'm laughing so hard it hurts... Peanusquares... You gonna send some of those to me? LOLOLOL!!!!!! C might get jealous! LMAO!
Not as funny, but I just remembered how Mimi used to say flower. It would come out SABU... Don't know why.... We still call them sabus.... Oh, and music was MUMIZ.... don't know why....
jewels: LOL...I'd better not send you those, wouldn't want you to choke while eating them...
...the peanusquares, I mean...you'd be laughing as soon as you took a bite!!!
;-)
*jin sniffs the air in the shoppe*
"Hmmm...that's strange....."
*jin swears she smells jasmine tea*
"But, what could I possibly be using that for?"
;-)
;-)
;-)
Oh, and, ahem... I would like a sweet box...
And, those grapes on the cake are majorly cool. Just saying.
cp: Yes, I'll bet you'd like one! I'll bet you'd try to eat it all before George saw it, too. I think he'd have to hide it! I keep thinking of doing some sort of contest on here...but I've not come up with any GOOD contest ideas! LOL! Do you have any?
Wow, you're starting to understand George better than I do!
Contest... well I suppose you could have us compete to name a dessert. Post a pic of something, tell us what's in it, and let us name it. The winner gets a sweet box!
Still waiting for my chocolate jelly grahams.....
Maybe you could name the chocolate jelly grahams after me. Just a suggestion.
cp: I KNOW! I haven't had a chance to try making any yet...one of these days...*NEED MORE TIME*
LOL!
(I still have the photo of them from your blog.)
You know I'd have to make the graham cracker from scratch. I couldn't use a store-bought.
*jin the anal retentive pastry chef* HAHAHA!!!
Hmmm....a naming contest...it would have to be a product that's shippable so the winner could taste what they named! I'll have to ponder on an item.....
Heeheeheee!!! Just had a thought!!! LMAO! I could make the 'jelly grahams' round, the size of a 'coaster' & call them "Punchman Coasters"!!!
Whaddya think?!!?
If you make them I promise to buy several dozens!
Jasmine TEA? Did you say Jasmine? Are you kidding me???? Am I really, truly going to get to sink my teeth into one of those dellectable confections? Oh, I am lucky! Oh, I'm so not eating a single thing 'til they get here!!!!
cp: LOL! I'll have to give it a shot when I have a chance! :-)
jewels: Oh, maybe you shouldn't talk about the 9 pound 6oz. box you'll be receiving. Other bloggers may get jealous!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
(I'm thinking a certain commenter directly above you! LOL! cp, don't worry, no jelly grahams were included in her package!)
Jasmine? You mean Jasmine Tea glazed cookies perhaps?
Maybeeeeeeee. ;-)
Heeheehee.....probably.....!
:-D
Careful Jewels, you might lose a finger if I'm anywhere near....
CP, how fast can you make it to Niagara Falls? LOL!!!! (no, really, I need to know, so I can quickly run in the opposite direction, with my 9 lb. 6 oz sweetbox!) LOLOLOL!!!!!
Oh, and Jin, 9 lb. 6 oz???? Wholly CRAP! You're trying to fatten me up, aren't you..... ;)
cp: Cross your fingers for me cp...I've something in the 'works'. If it pans out maybe you'll get that sweetbox! LOL! ;-)
jewels: Well, the box prob weighs 6 oz. so maybe only 9 pounds of chocolatey goodness!!! LOL!!! AND YES! That much...I know how much you sell those amulet necklaces for...I've been on your website girly!!! :-D
