I'm a roll maker now!

Yeah, so last week my friend Jo asked me to bring rolls to Sunday dinner... And since she cooks for me every week (at least one day of the week), I can't tell her "are you kidding me? ... rolls?" - so I said "okay, sure... no prob... but do they have to be homemade, or can I buy them?". Per Jo, I was approved to buy a bag o' rolls (yay!) - but then I forgot to buy them on Saturday. Which left me stranded on Sunday ... stranded in my kitchen, with nothing but a bag of flour an old bottle of yeast. Egads.

Luckily enough (for me, and for the rest of the crew that heads to Jo's for Sunday dinner), allrecipes.com had a pretty sweet roll recipe with step-by-step instructions for a Kitchen-Aide. I was a little nervous (as you would understand, if you had ever had to eat any rolls/bread I've made before), but... Oh. My. Gosh. This roll recipe is FABULOUS. And it's super fun, because you roll them up ala Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. There's butter in the recipe, and then you slather butter on the dough before you roll them up. Seriously... HEAVEN.

I've made 3 batches of rolls in the last week, kids. THREE. BATCHES. OF. ROLLS. (That, btw, is way more bread than I can actually eat. I threw away about a dozen rolls this morning before I made more this afternoon.) They're just so darn good when they're hot ... and for two days after I make them, that I can't help myself. I keep making them. And eating them. It's a sickness. I should turn myself in to Carb-o-Holics or something. But first, I think I'll go and grab another roll. I do still have a bit of strawberry freezer jam, after all...
