I was looking through some pictures the other day and I noticed how many of them showed people fishing. It was a popular way to pass the time for Carl and Georgie and other members of their family.

For the quilt show that was taking place during the 25th anniversary of my local quilt group, we were given some white fabric with a silvery sheen and told that the block had to be divisible into 25 squares. There was also a maximum size limit for the quilt.
Carl took a lot of photographs. And he clearly had one favorite subject for his pictures. It’s easy to see why….
It took me a lot of practice to get a really good pie crust. It is easy to mix too much and get a tough crust. I found that it is really important to use a large bowl for best results. At first, I mixed in a smaller bowl and my crusts were tougher and not very flaky. When I moved to a larger, wide bottomed bowl I got much better results.
I love the outdoors. I enjoy fishing, hiking, camping, gardening, hanging out enjoying a book in the shade with a cold drink….but I don’t like to mow the grass. We have over ¾ of an acre, and I spend two to three hours a week or more mowing and trimming, about 8 months a year.
I am a huge caramel fan, so I increased the caramel and nuts from the original recipe to add even more topping to these rolls. This uses the same dough as the Cinnamon Rolls I posted earlier.
Walter Wellman was born April 25, 1919 to George and Veronica (Moeller) Wellman. He was Georgie’s cousin.
Homemade Orange Rolls
I really enjoy this variation on my homemade sweet rolls. I made the recipe a few times tweaking the quantities and flavorings. Fortunately, I live with someone who is happy to act as taste tester.
It’s fun to look at how the fashions changed over the years.
I use the same basic recipe to make a variety of sweet rolls. There is cinnamon and its variations – raisin or raisin and apple. I make a delicious orange roll. There is a sticky pecan roll. I will cover each variety in a separate post.
