hot crossed buns

So I'm helping Mom put the finishing touches on Easter dinner. I was putting this platter of hot crossed buns on the table when Jess (my sister's sister-in-law? my cousin's wife?) makes a wisecrack about taking a picture and updating my blog. It was a two-birds-with-one-stone zinger in which she managed to get me AND my sister! Anyway, now my blog is "updated."
