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.

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.

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.
When you inherit a lot of pictures, you are often missing information about a picture or 200. Sometimes, you find information written on the photo, or in the album it is in. It may be fairly complete – with date, place, and people. It may be only one of these pieces of information, it may be none. Sometimes, people are identified with nicknames or middle names.
Every other year, my local quilt guild has a show, and there is always a challenge project. It encourages people to create something special in a theme to share with the visitors. It often has restrictions as to size and other details.
My uncle Paul was born on April 1, 1939. He always seems to me to have the right sense of humor for someone born on April Fool’s Day.
