Long ago in another life, Lloyd and I used to go to Lincoln to the surplus auctions. We’d stop off at Super Saver to get a couple of donuts, and usually could get a couple for a buck. Now? Auctions are held online and donuts are over a dollar. Cherry Rosettes are my favorite, but they’re often sold out when I get to the store.

Well, King Arthur Flour has an AMAZING recipe for cinnamon roll dough. (Click here to read it.) I’ve made a couple of batches, but instead of the cinnamon-sugar filling, I’m using raspberry jam.

I make them smaller than the recipe suggests – they say this makes 8, but I make 16. Then? I package them up by twos and freeze them.

I’ve been on a baking kick lately, but haven’t taken photos of the process. I do have a couple of baking stories. This one is about Costco’s chicken bake.

I was happy because that meant I could buy another bottle! But then…… I noticed that I still had another […]

Hi! Remember me? I have some stories to tell you over the next couple of days, and I’m going to sit down and write them all. (It’s Sunday morning. Lloyd has been fighting a cold for several days and is staying in bed. I went to a wonderful funeral yesterday and that’s my church attendance […]

Preamble: It’s important to the story to know that our ‘medicine drawer’ was in a secret, low, under-cabinet drawer that’s hard to get to. So, The Project started because after my last round of sickness, Lloyd said, “Maybe we shouldn’t keep all the medicine so close to the floor, now that we’re getting older.” My […]
