Be Quiet, Chick!

Day Two of my trip to Cali... back at the old, old, old, old house! Our old backyard is still full of chickens and I, of course, wanted to hold all the chicks! I only managed to catch one and it didn't like it very much...

Have a safe and happy New Year!

Rap/R&B/Hip Hop Playlist

Here’s a spotlight on my Rap/R&B/Hip Hop playlist from www.Playlist.com. I dedicate very little thought and effort to ‘em but I am love, love, lovin’ Jazmin Sullivan these days so I hope you take the time to enjoy it also.

Why?

Someone please tell me why you would ever allow a random male babysitter you found on Craigslist to watch over your kids. I just don't understand. Sexist or unfair? Just reality. I’m not letting girls and women off the hook either. We’ve seen that little darlings 'doing nothing more than peforming duties' of their job, too, are capable of doing awful things. I just wish people were good. I don’t understand.

Cinnamon Rolls *Update*

I'm going to make some tonight! Easy peasy.
Thanks Pioneer Woman! I love that blog as much as 101 Cookbooks.
..................................................................................................................

Blerr...it was messy but tasty. Patience and TV is required! I mixed the dough up with a slightly chipped wooden spoon and whaddayaknow, I got some wood in my cinnamon rolls. Just a little bit. By the time I realized it, more than half of the rolls were already gone. And I didn't get any complaints so...

Reminds me of the time I made lemon bars with salt...and how I always burn cookies no matter what...

I'm going to use this recipe for caramel rolls. Mmmm.
