Well I won't be able to blog for a few days as we are taking off on a hunting/visiting holiday at Dad and Lynn's but I just wanted to post and let you all know how things went today, first off Kenzie's snowman turned out so cute, this is my kinda snowman the kind you don't need to go out doors in the cold to build! Kenzie's to the left mine to the right, I always try to do the craft along side her, so i can give her an idea of what the project is meant to be, with out touching her project.

Then i tackled my first ever batch of buns, they turned out awesome, i highly reccomend even virgin bread bakers give these a go, and veteran bread makers will love to gobble these up too! Beautifully browned and buttered, how can you go wrong?! Loves it!

Buttery Dinner Rolls The ingredients you will need: 1 1/2 cups of milk 3/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon Sugar 1 egg 1 Tablespoon salt 2 Tablespoons yeast 2 cups of warm water about 9-10 cups of all-purpose flour at least 1 cup of butter To start out: Scald 1 1/2 cups of milk, 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup of butter, in a microwave safe bowl, for about 2 minutes. Cutting the butter into pieces helps it melt faster. There will probably be some little cubes of butter still floating in the hot mixture, they will melt. We are going to add yeast to this hot mixture, but it will be too hot to just dump the yeast straight in (it would kill it!). To cool it down stir in 1-2 cups of flour, then add 1 egg and 1 Tablespoon of salt, and leave it to cool for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, in a measuring cup dissolve 2 Tablespoons of yeast in 2 cups of warm water and 1 Tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for a couple of minutes until it is bubbly. **Keep track of how much flour you are adding!!! Make sure your milk mixture is just warm, not boiling and add the yeast mixture! Using a fork or wooden spoon, gradually stir in 9-10 cups of flour (counting the flour you have already added to cool it earlier). I would recommend only adding 2 cups at time and stirring in between. These rolls turn out so much better when they are mixed by hand. At the end the dough will be dense and sticky, and may be hard to stir, you can use your hands to incorporate the rest of the flour if needed. Be sure not to add too much flour. Then smooth the dough out and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Leave it in a warm place and let it rise. When your dough is close to rising completely, butter 2 cookie sheets and set them aside. Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size. Cover your working space with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Dump your dough out and divide it into 4 balls. Eyeball the sizes, then lift them up and feel the weight of each ball. Try to make them even, but they don’t have to be perfect. Using one ball of dough at a time: roll the dough into a circle on a floured counter. Once it is rolled out spread the top with butter from edge to edge. You will use about 2 Tablespoons per circle of dough. Cut the dough into quarters using a pizza cutter. Then cut each quarter into 3 pieces. You should end up with 12 triangles from each circle of dough. you will roll the dough starting with the wide end of the triangle. Tuck the tail of the triangle under the roll and place it on the buttered cookie sheet. You will make 3 rows, with 8 rolls per row. This will give you 24 rolls per pan. Two balls of dough will fill 1 pan. You will get a total of 48 rolls! Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the pans of rolls in a warm place (on top of the oven if possible) to let them rise. Once they are touching and full in size, cook (one pan at a time) in the oven ’till they are golden brown. About 10 – 15 minutes, It may take longer depending on how hot your oven cooks. Keep a close eye on your first pan to get the right time for the second. While they are still hot and fresh out of the oven run a stick of butter over the tops of the rolls for a delicious buttery glaze. These yummy dinner rolls will be a hit at any event, Enjoy! I found this recipe at www.pinterest.com and howdoesshe.com I am off to pack my bags for Trehern as tomorrow I have to drive to Dauphin and pick up all of the items I have won or sold on The Parkland Bidding Wars, then to Gilbert Plains to pick up our new living room chair, then off to Trehern, we return on Sunday, we have to hurry home in time for the Laurier Fall supper, I am bringing Pumpkin Pies with real whipped cream and we will each work a shift then quickly eat supper, because we have our first Mustangs game (hockey) NCHL at 6pm, then we can relax, enjoy the game and hopefully win the game too! And lastly i leave you with a little tid bit of advice for all the parents out there, when your kids reach the age where they no longer want to hug and kiss, bribe them, you want a snack? some supper? glass of milk? kiss me, hug me, healthy parenting starts with bribery! LOL! p.s. I totally got away with not helping wrap the deer! LOL! (so far,...the nights not over yet)
