Muddy Boys

This is a late post, with the pictures from our Ward Easter party a little over a year and a half ago. But it's worth the wait! Check out how much fun they had in the mud. : )

Eliza Jokes

Q: Why did the eye say "Hi" to the nose?
A: Because they were partners!


Q: How did the river say hello?
A: By taking your glasses!

A family of eggs was taking a walk and the baby egg was too slow, so the mama egg jumped on the baby and said, "Mustard!"

Worth the Wait! Here's our Adorable Baby Naomi!

Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:


1 pkg. yeast, dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
6 tbs. melted butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk, scalded
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
4-5 cups flour
2 tsp. cinnamon, combined with 1/2 cup sugar

Frosting:
1 stick of butter (1/2 cup)
~2 cups powdered sugar
~1 tsp. vanilla
~1 tbs. milk

Actions To Be Performed:

• Sprinkle packet of yeast over 1/4 cup water (warm, not hot--hot water will murder yeast). Also a teaspoon of sugar. Set aside.
• Scald cup of milk with 5 tablespoons of butter, or a butter-like substance. Do not boil under any circumstances (but it doesn't really matter if you do).
• Take measuring cup out of dishwasher; rinse it with left hand.
• Add 1/4 cup sugar to milk.
• Gradually mix in 2 cups flour. If you have a mixer, why not use it?
• Add teaspoon of salt and 2 eggs to flour mixture.
• Get mad at dad.
• When yeast looks bubbly and fizzy, add it to cooled mixture. Mix it.
• Add 2-3 more cups of flour. Mix it.  If you have a mixer with a dough hook, please for the love of Pete use it. Bread-making is not a science, it's a freaking art.
• Set aside, and cover with clean towel.
• Do other things with your life for 1 1/2 to 2 hours while dough rises. Work on your memoirs.

• After the dough rises, poke it. If it pokes you back, it needs to rise longer.
• Grease a baking sheet.
• Mix 1/2 cup sugar with 2 tsp. cinnamon
• Melt 6 tbs. of butter
• Spread out some flour and roll dough on it. Knead in extra flour if too sticky.
• Roll half the dough flat to about 12 x 18 inches.
• Spread half the melted butter on surface. Sprinkle half the cinnamon/sugar over melted butter.
• Roll up the dough with the butter and friends inside.
• Slice into ten rolls.
• Do all that stuff again with the other half of the dough.
• Cover and let rolls rise about 1 1/2 hours. Write a letter to someone you love. 

• After it has risen again, bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes (until starting to brown).

• To make frosting: soften 1 stick of butter (half cup).
• Pour in powdered sugar to taste (about 2 cups). 
• Add a little milk.
• Stir in 1 tsp. vanilla. Or a capful. Again, it's an art.
• Frost cinnamon rolls. At this point, they are traditionally eaten.
