Culinary Delights

Last night I was catching up on my blog roll and came across Lucy's most recent post with a recipe for cinnamon rolls. I did the school run this morning and took myself straight off to Tescos to buy the ingredients.

Before 

I don't have a bread machine, I just have a hand held mixer, which fortunately has two dough hooks on it. Mixing that dough together though sure is hard on the arms!

After, nom nom

Almost two hours after I began, I have some lovely cinnamon rolls. They taste lovely. My only critisism about my rolls (not the recipe!) and I am sure this is something I have done wrong as I am no Nigella or Gordon, is that they are rather "cakey" or "stodgy". I expected them to be lighter. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this for me? Perhaps I didn't knead my dough enough? That aside, the kids are going to love them and my house smells delicious.

Did I stop there, oh no! I also popped a curry in the slow cooker for dinner and chicken in the oven once the rolls were done, for school sandwiches tomorrow. Gosh I am feeling all Martha Stewart!

Marinating chicken

During all this kitchen dominance I have almost finished my boat sock but I will tell you about that another time.

Until next time...
