Yesterday was a rough day. But thankfully I have some good friends to see me through. Plus, I got to go on a lunch date with Amy! She is the sweetest gal I ever met, and so positive. A good person to be around if you would rather be sulking and seething.
We went to McAllister's. Good stuff.

Today I wanted to cross something off of my list of 23 things to do. Here is my adventure:
Step 1: Find Clay Pot that your mother-in-law gifted you for your wedding. Check.
Step 2: Find Recipe. Check
Step 3: Collect Ingredients. Check.
Step 4: Soak clay pot. Check!
Step 5: Stop working because husband fed dog, and there's no room. Check.
Step 9: Line pot with parchment paper.
Step 6: Mix flour, salt, and tiny bit o' lard until crumbly. Check!
Step 7: Heat milk, then add sugar. Check.
Step 8: Add yeast. Wait 15 minutes.
Step 10: Cry when yeast refuses to work. FOUR TIMES...
Step 11: Give Up.
Step 12: Make Cinnamon Rolls.
Now, to be honest... the cinnamon rolls weren't very good either. I didn't really cry. I just got really upset. I may or may not try again next week.

I'm suprised the yeast didn't work. Either it was dead(I'm not entirely sure how that works) or the temperature of the liquid was too hot or not warm enough. Too hot will kill it and not warm enough prevents it from activating. I'm sorry your baking project didn't go as planned. I bet the cinnamon rolls were amazing!!! You know me, anything you make is AMAZING!!!!
I'm sorry you had such trouble with the cinnamon rolls. They look nifty, if it makes you feel better! ;-) But I'm with Jennifer--I'll bet they tasted pretty good. :-D
