Rolling Pin Revelations
If you didn’t get a chance to see Episode 6: How to Make Gingerbread Hockey Players then you might want to check it out so you can really appreciate this post. See, I don’t own a rolling pin. I had to “MacGyver-style” it and improvise. Here’s what I tried.
Viewer Christine's sticky rolling pin - I think she needs some "Jock" advice!
Glass Vases – Cylinder-Shaped
Least favourite choice.
Not suitable for glass table tops.
Not strong enough to handle the massive strength of the master-dough-roller.
Often accompanied by the sound of, “crack” or other expletives.
Avoid at all costs.
Peanut Butter Jars
Suitable if you’re REALLY in a jam (HA!!!!!! That’s funny… peanut butter… jam… sometimes I think I’m really funny!)
The only problem with using peanut butter jars is that the lids leave race track marks in your dough.
But… if you’re stuck… (HA! Stuck… ) then give it a try.
Aerosol Sunscreen or Hairspray Containers
My absolute FAVOURITE choice for a rolling pin.
Durable.
Strong.
Educational (have you ever really had the opportunity to examine a can?)
NO track marks.
Now… I have also learned about using flour to ensure your dough doesn’t stick to your rolling implement. I know, this is “old news” but this jock, is a true rookie in the kitchen and is just figuring out the drills!
Signing off,
The Jock

Why is my head cut off?
I have to say that I’ve had a few comments about my camera angles. I know… it’s sort of annoying. Trust me, I know! However, I wanted to explain again, that “A Jock’s Guide” is a one-woman show. Now, this is a term I do not use lightly. One-woman, being me, does the camera work, lighting, sound, hosting, editing, music accompaniment, singing (have you heard my little ditty in Episode 8?)… I’ve been struggling with camera angles since the start. My latest contraption is a large tupperware bin, with a gigantic speaker balancing on top and my laptop balancing on the speaker… and the green grass grew all around all around and the green grass grew all around. (yeah, my 8 year old self has apparently come out to play!)
So that being said, please forgive me for my head chopping. I think I remedied it in Episode 9. 
Sincerely,
The Jock
