A few good links  -- 

• Arizona Psychic didn't see this one coming. AZ Central link includes video of car crashing into his table at a restaurant in Canada. Recovering now, he's still booked for Arizona shows in July. Connect with Psychic Medium Blair Robertson 
• Nanny wanted for haunted house (Scotland). Interesting note: family says they only have reports of supernatural activities when they are away from the home and even though they were told the house was haunted when they bought, they have had no paranormal experiences. 5 nannies who vacated the position in the past year suggest a different story. Mashable

Conscious Living with Lei Shishak, Baker, Pastry Chef, Owner of the Sugar Blossom Bake Shop in San Clemente, California has a terrific new dessert recipe book. Stocking up now on Missouri Peaches!

The collection showcases super easy and delicious seasonal recipes in Farm to Table Desserts. 

We source her blog for that Blueberry Pancake recipe mentioned in the opening.

Pina Colada Cupcakes, Kiwi Popsicles, Mixed Berry Pie. Everything sounds tasty! Most recipes are incredibly simple, with just a few utensils (ex: whisk and a large bowl) and minimum cooking time. 

Got sidetracked for an excellent Video Recipe of Poached Japanese Salmon with Brown Rice and Baby Bok Choy.

Hooked on Dessert? Add this one to the library: Beach House Baking. Lei's first book has rave reviews and is out now in paperback. Make a good impression with a gift (or just pamper yourself). Follow the link to her website. Shop for cake, brownies, cinnamon rolls, etc. and coffee too! Enjoy!
