aNOTHER snow day!

Soooo I'm new to this area....but I'm pretty sure TWO snow days from work are almost unheard of up here (correct me if I'm wrong, New England-ers).  But I'm not complaining!  Gordon-Conwell was closed too, so Curt and I had the day off together.  It was really great to slow down for a day, spend some extra time reading the Bible, and drink my coffee out of a real cup instead of a travel mug.   I didn't chronicle my whole day this time....I didn't think y'all really cared about seeing pictures of me laying on the couch.  Needless to say, it was a pretty lazy day.

However, I did want to keep with the tradition of making cinnamon buns on a snow day, but didn't have any on-hand from the grocery store.  I decided to try to make them from scratch.   I didn't quite realize what an undertaking this was because I started them at around 7am and we didn't actually end up eating them until about 11:30am.  Whoops!  I guess if you really wanted them for breakfast, you'd have to wake up verryyyy early.  Just in case you're curious, I used this recipe.

Also, this was very exciting because I got to use my new Kitchen-Aid stand mixer for the 2nd time!  Thanks again to the Barritt clan for this amazing gift.  I love it!

 

They turned out pretty well!  Come visit us and I'll make these for you.  Yes, I am willing to bribe visitors with food.  I promise, it's not that cold up here... bahahaha!

And yes, Laura and I will have these on the menu at "Crumbs"  (see the end of this post if you're confused).
