When I say JUMBO, what do you think of? Elephants? Acceptable, they are big, fat and adorable.
Or maybe you think buildings, rollercoasters and other architectural wonders which just make life a little easier because c’mon, who can live without rollercoasters, sheesh…
Or maybe you think about food. I am just saying, ‘Jumbo’ is just too playful a word for impressive skyscrapers and frightening-hurling-to-your-doom rollercoasters, a little too cartoon-character for elephants.
But for food its perfect. Jumbo buckets of popcorn, jumbo-sized frozen cokes, jumbo jelly packets. Mmm, works good no?
You want to know another thing that works well with ‘Jumbo’? Cookies. Big, massive, melt in your mouth cookies. Because I think I can vouch for everyone when I say that when freshly baked cookies come out of the oven, no one eats one and walks away. Why not make jumbo cookies and say ‘Hey, I feel good about myself because I had only one cookie!’
Sure one jumbo sized cookie possibly the size of my hand… but stuff that nagging mother voice to the back of your head. Seriously.
I can assure you right now + have JJ and Pie to vouch for it, that one of these jumbo cookies is not enough. Oops, what can you do at least I tried to help out the problem right? 😉
To get Jumbo-sized enjoy a jumbo treat, I today invite you over to Ms Claire’s blog, Promenade Plantings! Claire is someone who does not only have a green thumb, her whole person is overflowing with this awesome cosmic energy which makes her garden bloom beautifully and has a side effect of making her an incredible cook 😀
Thank you Claire and to everyone reading, come check out some Jumbo chocolatey goodnessRIGHT HERE!!!
Just one last question: Is the word ‘jumbo’ sounding weird to you now? Jum-BO, JUM-bo, jummy… wth*… 😉
*wth = what the hell… 😉
