Cinnamon Rolls #78


Number 78 on my list of things I want to do in my lifetime is learn how to make cinnamon rolls. You know the ones that make your eyeballs roll into the back of your head? So today while I should have had my face in that big ole binder, or when I should have been canning the 40 pounds of fruit on my dinning room table I made cinnamon rolls instead.

I don't have any experience with yeast so I was a bit concerned when the dough didn't double in size like it said it would. Even with my yeast concern, they turned out yummmmmy. I was so into them after I iced them, we all started eating them and I didn't take a picture. The man cub tried to eat 3. Like I wouldn't notice. HA!

I have made a bit of a list of what I want to do to be more self-sufficient and I have decided I want to hold off talking about it until I can really go into depth about my ideas.

Tomorrow I will spend most of my day in training for work. Last time I did training the young punks I work with strapped me down to a backboard and propped me up against the wall upside down until I told them they were my Daddy. Wish me luck!

    Must. Avoid. Looking. At. Photos.

    . . . but I couldn't, and, boy, do those look DELICIOUS!!!

    Good for you for trying them -- they're not too hard, are they? Not an everyday thing, for sure, but it's nice to know you can make them if you want to.

    I think I gained 10 pounds. Anything that starts with a stick of butter is going to be trouble. Sooooo good. They were pretty easy and my kids actually think I can cook something now :)

    Just so you know, I have been thinking about these cinnamon rolls on and off all freakin' day.

    I hope you feel guilty about that, really really guilty!! . . . oh, okay, I'm just kidding about the guilt thing . . . mostly ;-).

    I will likely make some of these next time hubby will be away from home all day, otherwise these pictures will continue to haunt me.

    I can almost smell them! Great job. I make sticky buns at least once a week, my family would like it more often...my thighs would NOT! Kim
