{On A Roll}

I have struggled with bread making for a long time...but I think I got it now!  I love these rolls and I like it because you can use this dough to make cinnamon rolls too.  I have made them several times now and they are great!

5 cups of all purpose flour
2 tablespoons dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup oil
2 teaspoons salt

Add 2 tablespoons yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 2 cups warm water.  I use my mixer.  Let stand for about ten minutes.  Add 2 cups flour, oil and salt.  Mix together.  Add 3 more cups of flour and mix in mixer with dough hook for 8 minutes.  Spray a bowl with cooking spray and place dough making sure the dough is covered in spray.  Let rise for 1hour.  Make into balls (makes about 14 rolls) and place in the pan and let rise again for 1 hour.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, butter the top and enjoy!!

{Mirror, Mirror On The Wall}

We have lived in our home for about 7 years and in our guest bathroom there is this "mirror"....I have a love/not a big fan of/relationship with.  It is not quite my style.  I would not change it though.  Well yesterday I went to an antique store and what do my eyes spy?!  Another mirror just like the one in my bathroom! After doing some research, I think that it is a Chippendale reproduction...it kind of looks like the last picture below.  Does that make me love mine?  Maybe, maybe not!!

{A Refreshing Drink}

I love Vernor's ginger soda ( thanks to my niece Holly ).  I like any ginger ale really.  You take Vernor's and watermelon ( which I love also ) and add them together and you get one refreshing drink!!  Try it, I think you will like it!!

{Oh The Memories}

 
Posted by PicasaIt's the little things that bring back so many memories...like starch??  I remember as a little girl watching my Memama {Grandmother} iron all her and my Granddaddy's clothes....she would spray the clothes and roll them up and put them in the freezer.  I don't know why she wanted them cold, I never ask.  I do use starch now myself but don't freeze my clothes. Memama did teach me a lot of things..I miss her!
