| Baking Day at Hickory Hill Farm |
It was a very productive day. Handsome took this photograph before the cinnamon rolls were cool. I frosted them about a half hour later.
No. We won't eat all this ourselves. We share bread with Andy and Shelly next door, and the rest of the loaves freeze well until we need it. We'll only keep four of the cinnamon rolls. One batch goes up the hill with bread, and the two trays in front are sold. The rolls are for a couple burgers tonight, and the rest will freeze, too.
We did get a lot of blowing snow yesterday, so it really was nice to stay indoors and warm. The "barn" girls (yeah. Not so much anymore.) didn't want a thing to do with the white stuff. They chose to stay indoors, but as we have no Labrador litter box, the big girls went outside. Bella greeted the snow like an old friend. She ran around like a puppersnapper. Carly, on the other paw, just wanted to do her business and get back inside. That's okay. Handsome didn't want to hang around outside either.
I'm delivering cinnamon rolls to Fond du Lac this morning, doing a little grocery shopping, and dropping off baked treats for our dear neighbors. Once back home, I'll stitch some more on the bluebirds until it's time to put in my three hours at work. I'm not going to share my needlework until I get more done than I have so far. Probably Monday.
Happy Friday, y'all!
Oooooo, al those baked goods look delicious!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was nasty day yesterday with wet, b;owing snow.
Great day to stay inside.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteThanks, dear! You're so right. It was the perfect day to stay inside.

It must have smelled heavenly inside your home yesterday (but you are probably accustomed to that delightful smell with all the baking you do.) I was just looking at the size of those hamburger rolls and wondering about the size of the hamburgers that go in them...they look huge! Makes my mouth water to think about the gourmet treat that must be. I'll take mine medium done with all the toppings, please.... (-;
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteIt did smell good in the house (especially if you go outside with the dogs and then come back in). The rolls aren't quite as big as they might look, but there's always bun outside the burger when I make them. We had grilled burgers for dinner tonight, and I topped mine with the Smoky Paprika Jam that I make. It was pretty nice. Wish you could have joined us! There's always enough for a guest!

mmmmmm - yum! And the smell had to have been so amazing. RC is making noises about making sourdough buns this weekend so I'll have that aroma to enjoy too.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteIt surely was, dear. I'm sure you're looking forward to RC's baking day, too! Bravo!!!

Sherry of createology: You are a baking expert and everything looks professional and delicious. YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteI only do this about every 10 days, and I'm pooped at the end of the day. I don't know how bakers with bakeries get up every single day in the dark to turn out goods for their customers. (Of course, they are younger, which doesn't hurt.)
