Buns (hehe)

Sooo... what's up with me? Well I recently joined a neat little website called goodreads.com (click there and you can add yourself as my friend and join me!) which is fantastic. You basically review books and see what your friends are reading & etc. Very neat, especially for a bibliophile like myself. Steve got on it too, but so far all he's done is rated all the books he was forced to read in high school as 1 star. He makes me giggle. I love that husband.

What else? I baked!!!! And I mean SUCCESSFULLY!!! Last time I tried to bake something, I messed up the breadmaker and it just baked a pile of ingredients without mixing them. AT ALL. Like so:

So I'm pretty proud that I found a recipe and actually baked these beautiful cinnamon rolls!

Check out the hi-tech cup-turned-rolling-pin I'm using!

Cut the long roll into mini-rolls using floss (you're supposed to!) and then placed them gently into their 8" pan.

Mmmm. Ready to bake. The brown sugar + butter on the bottom of the pan caramelizes deliciously.

They turned out! Steve has a very discriminating tongue, and he ate like three of them the second they came out of the oven, and then five more the next day. So all in all, I felt pretty successful.
