SPIDER-MAN DANCE

Click SPIDER-MAN to see them dance.   Now that Tim signed up for Amazon Prime, I get to watch this show again.  If you haven't seen this scene, please do enjoy.

Meanwhile, it's Saturday and so far, I'm not even dressed, but get this.  I've been strong enough to do some walking with the pups.  Today will be day four.  I can't walk very long which bums me out, but also, I have to keep in mind that it's better than last week, when I couldn't do it at all.

That's all from me.  Off to eat some leves (soup), make a quick blob of dough, and then walk the pups.  Tim is having a hard time getting the Amazon Prime to play through the 360 and is on the phone with them now.

Happy Saturday and boogie boogie.

TGIF Bunn

Ever have one of the those weeks that you were looking forward to.  The kind of week where you thought you were really gonna kick some ass/arse, only you never did?

That's how my week went.

I'm behind on just about everything this week.  And I have to say, I'm really happy it's the weekend.  Even better, Tim gets THREE days off in a row.  His only request is calzones and a trip to the Barnes cafe.  Simple enough.  Might even throw in almond pizzelles, just because he loves them.

Meanwhile, here was last night's dessert.  I had extra dough so I tossed together a single (but nice sized), cinnamon bunn.  For the top I mixed local maple syrup, icing sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, to taste.

It was so flippin' good.

I Made Little Hearts

The flat one was super yummy but the rest were bland.  But they're so darn cute, that I can't wait to give them another go.  I made these with leftover bread dough.

Meanwhile, I'm running WAY late today.  Never made it to the market and I still have to get tonight's meal together.  I'm rolling turkey dogs in dough.  Got the dogs for free.  Actually, they paid me a dime to take each package out of the store.  Thank you, coupons and sales.

Anyway, that's the scoop for today.  I tell you what, I'm starting to feel like writing a post each day isn't so easy.  I will hit 44 in a row, but 444 feels less likely.

Cheers and boogie boogie.

Full Frontal

A week ago we cleaned Ethel and my gosh, she's pretty.  Tim pulled out and washed the shelves and I scrubbed the inside.  But the BEST part, was putting her back together.

I tell ya, that's some seriously gorgeous full frontal.

Annoyed & Cranky

Today I'm annoyed because I don't have anything I want to write about, and I committed to at least 44 posts in a row. 

Only I don't want to be cranky over a blog because that's a waste of my energy.  So I'm going to work on my pepperoni rolls, and address the hemorrhaging issues.

Meanwhile, dig these treats I baked last night.  Not only does it save money using scraps, but they're fun to make.

Details and a how to post, on the way.  But for right now, it's off to my lab for another pepperoni roll experiment.

That should knock the crankies right out.

My Overproved Loaf

Here's what happened when I overproved my loaf.  Notice the wrinkly skin, the whole loaf fell.  Whoosh, all the way down, flat.  Was curious what would happen, so I popped this baby in the oven.  Little denser but super duper soft crumb and a good crunch to the skin.  Just really really flat.

The third photo was just after I put it together.  This is my first go at six strands.  If you haven't played with dough this way, I encourage you to give it a go.  It is so much fun.  The only bummer part is being out of dough to mold.  Other than that, great little hobby.

Also last night I worked on pepperoni rolls, personal pizzas and making a dog bed blanket out of scraps of fabric.  Today, we're fixin' to hit the Barnes cafe.  Last time we went I had to update my coupons but today, it's back to reading bake books and taking notes.  That's all from me.

You Boogerbutts have an oogie boogie Sunday.
