My grandma inadvertently sort of offended me the other day when I asked if we could bring anything for Easter and she said, "Steve could make some rolls." As if I don't know how to make anything! The truth of the matter is that cooking and baking are somewhat annoying and make me green around the gills- thanks to the bun in the oven. Most likely Grandma was just trying to make things easy for me. We have gotten a lot of mileage out of the scenario, though.
So today I whipped up the dough that has eggs, butter, and milk plus a little sugar. The most fun was making snakes, tying a knot and tucking the ends in to make a nice rosette. They were so pretty! The smell they made while cooking was so horrible! Steve hardly understood since to him they smelled delicious. It really clouded my appetite and made all food seem like an impossibility. What a shame.
When the rolls were neatly lined up on the wire rack, Steve said, "Grandma is really going to be impressed with the rolls I made." We all split one to taste-test and found it moist, tender and oh so good. Grandma will be proud!
