5 Famous Meme
Peeps 'n Pastry

I've been tagged to do a brand-spankin'-new
Meme by MeHereNow.

As always, I can't simply copy.

I must put my own spin on it.

I encourage those I tag at the end to do the same.

She calls it her "5 famous people you're allowed to sleep with" list.

But the jin is calling it:

"5 famous Peeps and the Pastries I'd eat off of with them"

*giggle*

(I am going to take an immense amount of pleasure in researching this post... um... for you guys I mean. You deserve the best! Yeah... yeah, that's it. I'm sacrificing my time awlllll for you. ;-)

*snicker*

1. Josh Hartnett

Hartnett sounds a bit like Bartlett which reminds me of pears so I think we'd do a Frangipane and Pear Tart with Creme Anglaise for drizzling. *nudge nudge wink wink*


2. Wes Bentley

The only way I'd melt that intense gaze of his would be with my Black Pearl Truffles.


3. Jude Law

My Blood Orange Bavarian Cream would be fit for this Brit.


4. Josh Brolin

I think he might be the only one tough enough to handle my Dark Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Bean Cheesecake.


5. Ashton Kutcher

I think he'd scream for my Cardamom Ice Cream.


Your turn!

There's a [Mighty Fine]Blogfan at my Door!

Now- I'm guessing all of you want lots of photos, am I right?!!? Wellll... too bad. We went so many places, did so many things and had so much fun that, er... gee... we really didn't take but one single photo! Never fear dear Blogfans, as the pic is of the infamous Eebie himself blissing out on Biscotti and Coffee made by yours truly.

Isn't he cute?!!? This boy is amazingly intelligent too. ;-)

Let's post gratuitous Manty links, shall we?

Riverbank Lounge
We went there for dinner on Saturday evening... um... not realizing that's the only night they don't serve their fab food. BUT (!) ever the charming host, Ben went in the kitchen himself and brought out a phenomenal spread just for us that truly hit the spot. Thanks so much Ben!

Stumpjack Coffee
Next stop, the always rockin' Stump. (Don't be pervy peeps... that's a nickname for the coffee shop!) I had some inside info that the dudes playing live were supposed to be really good. Brian Sanchez and Nick Weiland of Whiskey Jars & Scandals were not really good... they were absolutely AMAZING!!! You could tell these guys love their art, they put their hearts and souls into that performance and really really rocked the Stump! As if live music isn't enough of a reason to stop in, there's always Kim and David who seriously know how to treat their clientèle. David took some great shots that evening of the band so I'm going to send you over to his Flickr set . You might even spy a jin and an Eebie if you look closely. Thanks again Kim and David!!!

More places to go and food to eat the following two days:

Rahr West Art Museum
I had a pastry delivery that Eebie graciously helped me out with. While I put the final touches on the display he got a peek at our museum.

Timeout Sports Bar
Eebie was looking forward to watching Spain beat Germany in the Euro Cup but, alas, I've no TV! *gasp* Since jin's don't normally frequent sports bars I didn't even know if we had one! lol! Thank you Yellow Pages and Congratulations Spain!

Kavarna
I can't recommend this place enough. Y'all know I go there every chance I get. I do believe Eebie was as thrilled with the food and atmosphere as I always am. Bravo!

Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary
What better way to spend a sunny afternoon then a wonderful walk through some of nature's finest. Please ignore the rumour that I gave Eebie girl cooties, it's SO not true! Mosquitoes! Mosquitoes I tell you! They loved both of us... should that be considered complimentary?

Maritime Museum
A visit here would not be complete without a tour of the sub. Kudos to our tour guide, he really knew his facts!


So- here I sit, pecking away in front of my dusty monitor, contemplating where to start to make up for a couple days off, when I realize, it's a damn good thing I do sit here, surfing, blogging, writing... or I never would have met a most amazingly awesome fantastic blogger named Eebie. Thanks for everything hon and you are welcome back anytime!

BEST. WEEKEND. EVER!

I LOVE my job.
I mean...
I
REALLY
REALLY REALLY
(REALLY!)
Love my Job.

I Love my Customers too.
Well, 499 out of every 500 or so. ;-)
(Metaphorically speaking of course... I'm into cake art, I'm not a cake Tart! mostly)

My Weekend was Perfection.
This jin was soooo busy.
I had 2.5 hours of sleep Thursday eve
and 1.5 hours of sleep Friday eve
then worked until 8PM on Saturday
and I can still honestly say
I LOVE my job.
How effing awesome is that?!

You just need to look
(well, you need to taste too, but I can't send it thru the monitor yet)
so...
sit back
relax
pull an Al Bundy
and stick your hand in your pants if that's your thang
take a deep breath
and click thru these
pieces of jin

A jin Never Gets Bored
(Sometimes she gets tired though)









Ahhhh... the scent of summer
wafting thru the air
takes away the winter blues
erasing all despair
allowing a gentle breeze
to slowly caress my hair.

Step back into the kitchen
for chocolate calls my name
once you taste my wares
your life won't be the same
'Tis my magick touch
Volition's not to blame.

Birds are tweeting, ovens beeping
there's frosting on the floor
I steal a moment, can't help myself
jin sneaks back out the door
In truffles and sunshine I indulge
Perchance resulting in new blog lore.
