LIVE! LIVE! Life is a banquet, and some sorry sons of bitches are starving!
Happy Easter...and enjoy the delights of Spring.
A sweet little confection in the Candy Shop today! Might even fit in a Easter Basket or a bed! Ryan Cooper is a insta boy, but has launched his own personal coaching business called Cooper Fit where he encourages and educated from a distance. I'm drawn this hotness, but he gives me a slightly naughty bad boy vibe I like, and he clearly doesn't mind being a little or a lot revealing! Who need a creme filled Cadbury egg when Mr. Cooper is in the room???
...and Hot Cross Buns!
I'm not a religious person, but every Friday is a good Friday in my book! It's the end of another week and the weekend is coming, a nice long one too. But yes, today is indeed Good Friday and for me that means my first Hot Crossed Bun! I made two batches last night for the forthcoming family were getting. Hot cross buns are a spiced, often fruit filled sweet buns marked with a cross, traditional eaten on Good Friday to mark the end of Lent in Christian tradition, The cross symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus, while the spices represent those used during his burial. They are a beloved Easter symbol of faith and renewal and to the forth coming spring. My grandmother and aunt made them every year, so I keep the tradition going, I guess. I think I read they originated from 12 century monks and it was believed that buns baked on Good Friday would never go moldy and possess healing and prospective powers. Who knows but go to a market or farm stand in PA and I bet you'll see tons of these buns. I use my aunt recipe, a pretty much run of the mill recipe found online, but we add in dried raisins, cherries and dates and almonds, along with nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon. I had two today!
Of course, many also think of my other hot crossed buns, but they are served to my special friends! Just because it's Good Friday you didn't expect me to behave, did you? I'm always cheeky. 
Well yesterday was exciting and I even got a smidge emotional watching the Artemis II take off. Artemis II is the lunar mission under the Artemis program that launched successful from the Kennedy Space Center last evening on a ten-day mission intended to carry NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch along with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen on a free-return trajectory around the Moon and back to Earth. This will be the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 way back in 1972! It was exciting to watch.
Maybe one of these missions NASA will come ask the Mistress to go into space. Just think, I'd be the first gay drag queen ho in space!!!! I better start thinking now what to wear.
