Re: Sleepiness and my update....../cinnamon rolls recipe

[Guest guest]

I just used the recipe for Swedish cinnamon rolls from our most trusted cookbook, and it's pretty identical to this one I found when googling for an English translation for it:http://scandinavianfood.about.com/od/coffeecakessweetbreads/r/cinnamonrolls.htmDifferences are that I didn't melt the butter for the filling (I don't know if the recipe I used said you should, but my mother never did, so I didn't, I think I went by childhood memories more than by the recipe when I got to the filling part, because that's the part mom used to let us help with, and the help included eating some of the dough and filling of course....), and another difference is that I used fresh yeast (I think it's more common to use fresh yeast than dry one, in Sweden, or at least that's my experience). Oh, and then I forgot about the egg, and about the cardamom...but both were actually parts of the recipe I did use... However, to my defence, the rolls did come out very good despite that...And a little bonus language lesson: Swedish cinnamon rolls in Swedish is: kanelbullar (literally: kanel=cinnamon + bullar=buns)love/Reb>> Hi everyone,......sorry I haven't been posting much lately.

reminds me about something I heard years ago

a lady bought a really good size pot roast - she whacked a chunk of it off and put it in the oven to cook with the veggies

her soon to be daughter in law watched her do this and saw the pan was large enough for a whole roast and all the veggies for 6 - 8 people

DIL delicately asked why did you do this

Mom looked at her confused and thought about it - my mom did it and my grandma did it - family thing I guess

Mom picked up the phone and called her mom - why did grandma whack the end off the pot roast?

after her mom quite laughing she said Grandma had a small pot and 6 kids - so she cut the meat to fit the pot God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.
