Well, I just had to try that recipe for the Lemon Rolls from the last entry on my blog. I halved the recipe so there wouldn't be as many of them to eat, and boy, were they good! I made a couple of little additions to the recipe. I added a tablespoon of sugar to the dough and a 1/4 teaspoon of Lemon extract to the egg and milk mixture.
I used a 6 or 7 inch square Corning Ware pan to bake them in. They were so tasty and lemony and just so goooood! Ed liked them too! So make them and have them with a hot, fresh cup of coffee! These were perfect, but sometimes things just don't turn out so well...
Kids, don't try this at home! I made a pumpkin cake in the microwave and it was so pretty and looked so good! Then when I cut into it, it was so dry it was inedible, even with cream cheese frosting on it! I think mostly because I over cooked it. The recipe was in a microwave cookbook, but was for a 1970's microwave. I tried to adjust the time and the power setting for the newer, faster cooking microwaves, but didn't get it right. Oh well. Sometimes they work out, and sometimes they don't!
Do they look as 'snug as a bug in a rug'? Since there is three cats that live on the front porch, one of these boxes usually has two cats in it. I've put a fuzzy rug inside and they spend a lot of time inside when it is so cold outside. That is Momma Kitty in the top box and she doesn't get along with the barn cats, and that is why they live on the porch.  Those two black ones are her own kittens, all grown up. They are Bart, male, and Betty, female.They are both bigger than their mother.

I feel so sorry for kitties left out in the cold. These guys do look warm and snug. My cats were inside for a while but that wasnt working so I hung a cage on the inside of the bathroom window with a kitty door so they can come in and sleep in the cage and eat but go outside too. So far its working pretty good.

Ahh they do look happy, I put a box on the porch because I couldn't find any styrofoam coolers, where do you get them I wonder?

Sarah, Do you know anyone who gets stuff from Omaha Steaks? They send their products through the mail in those coolers. :)
