On the way home, the Christian conference I went to to was epic in unexpected ways and I’m grateful I was able to go!
.
My husband was grateful he did NOT, to each their own, I saw the big box of spices delivery the day I left. I bet the grill AND the smoker ran continuously the entirely of his waking hours!!! 😂 It’s how he decompresses, not a bad gig being the wife of someone who won’t LET me near the stove when he’s home. Don’t worry. I don’t mess it up when he’s not. 😜
.
Now let’s talk about this croissant...#yes #divine
.
While I am too early to see the chrysanthemums bloomed out my consolation is the tale end of summer roses shrouded in cool morning fog like a scene out of Pride and Prejudice. The Keira Knightley one. (swipe left) #exquisite.

Country roads take me home. Cincinnati, I’m lookin’ at you!

Ok now! This Cincinnati girl finally got her hands on some Publix buttercream solving the mystery of why there are so many knock off recipes on Pinterest. 👍🏻👍🏻
.
Ingredient list: Sugar, Palm Oil, Butter(Cream, natural Flavor), Water, Nonfat Dry Milk, Soyoil, Cornstarch, Cottonseed Oil, Mono-Glycerides, Egg White, Polysorbate 60natural & Artificial Flavor, Salt.If Decorator Icing , May Contain Followingartificial Colors(Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 3red 40, Blue 1, Blue 2).
.
So yes, those knock-off recipes that contain more than 50% Crisco and might I recommend meringue powder, are in the ballpark.
.
Turn the stand mixer on medium high and go check the electric fence or something, time being whipped will produce a light texture.
.
Interestingly as with normal butter, when chilled this stuff too is solid. Very tasty, glad I don’t live closer. 😉

For years I’ve seen knock-off recipes for Publix grocery store buttercream on Pinterest and L👀K!!!!!!!! I’m from Cincinnati, we don’t have Publix.
.
Now I get to see what all the fuss is about and knock it off myself if I’m so inclined. 🤩😎
.
Just looked up the ingredients on the Publix website: Sugar, Palm Oil, Butter(Cream, Natural Flavor), Water, Nonfat Dry Milk, Soyoil, Cornstarch, Cottonseed Oil, Mono-Glycerides, Egg White, Polysorbate 60natural & Artificial Flavor, Salt.
.
Most of the knock-off recipes use a generous amount of shortening so won’t be knocking it off, but still gonna try it.

I want to give a shoutout to @cincinnatimini & especially Christina in the service department. A week ago I had the bumper to bumper inspection on my car to prepare for a fabulous road trip to North Carolina drivin’ my Mini on all those curvy roads. I was even extending my trip to a destination 3 hours out of the way purely for pleasure! Today, mere hours before I left, my car was hard rear-ended and undriveable. I was stopped at a stoplight and the other driver didn’t even apply the breaks. While my car is undriveable (other side) and headed to an auto body shop, in my frazzled state I misplaced the keys so we couldn’t put the car on the tow!!!! Remembering that you have this [gorgeous!] service rep that unbelievably knows more about these cars than anybody I’ve ever met, in my panic I called the shop and asked for her directly. She knows all her customers by name AND their Minis. I don’t even have to tell her anything about my car model, I ask her if there is a sneaky Mini service trick to putting these cars in neutral, she says yes, her second sentence doesn’t sound like English so I hand the tow guy the phone, and I immediately feel like it’s going to be ok. In the end I have to order a special gadget and I will be bringing it back promptly for a second bumper-to-bumper when all the bodywork and repairs insurance covers are through but the best part? I have always wondered (and my family has always joked) how such a tiny car would do in a collision. I will put God first for sure but I didn’t even realize I was hit initially and you should see the other car, it might be totaled or never work right again and it was a nice crossover. So I don’t know if this car has a secret layer of adamantium in there or what but I for sure get the last laugh. Bonus it handles great in snow too, it has to be black ice for me to pull out the Sequoia. Thank you Mini Cooper! ❤️ Thank you, thank you, thank you Christina!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ @angryirishwench .
