The News....Short Version


Today's post will be short and sweet...
as it is too hard to type with the ugly finger.

I had several requests for a recipe for Amanda's "braided" dinner.


She did not use a recipe for this dinner, sadly.
Basically, she made a whole wheat bread recipe, let it rise, punched it down
and rolled it out. 
Then she filled it with cooked chicken, parsnips, sweet potatoes(from last summer's garden)
 and chard ribs
in a zesty honey mustard sauce that she created.
Slits cut in the two outer thirds of the rolled out dough were braided back across
the center, covering the filling.
Baked til golden brown.
Delicious.

Yesterday, I mixed up some sweet yeast dough


let it rise, rolled it out...


filled...


and made....


I frosted them with a cream cheese frosting.
YUM!!

As for Myrtle (on left), no babies yet.
She is huge and the babies are moving all over the place.
Any day now....


Chloe seems to be doing fine with respect to her sore foot.
She is barely limping now.


And.... pavilion construction is complete.
It will be stained a walnut brown once warmer weather has arrived.


Sorry for the brevity of this post.
I will be back to snuff once the throbbing has left my finger.

So sorry about your finger! Hope it heals quickly. I'm glad Chloe's foot is doing better. The donkeys look like they are mirroring. Looking forward to seeing the new babies. The mamas look so ready : ) Your pavilion looks like it will be lovely! And, oh, those cinnamon rolls look so delicious. If only I didn't have celiac disease. Just cannot handle grain gluten : ( Hope your day goes well, Beverly.

You poor dear . . . (I was reminded a few times . . . many nerve endings in the the finger tips . . . after two broken thumbs, one finger, I can attest!). One word . . . PAIN

How you pulled off making cinnamon rolls I don't know . . . they definitely warrant an invite . . . SMILE

Looking forward to birthing news!

I credit my sous chef....the Kitchenaid mixer....it did all of the mixing and all of the kneading. Otherwise....no buns for us!!

I kind of figured from yesterdays picture that there would be some throbbing! Of course an injured finger is always in the way.

With our chilly morning I will have hot chocolate with my cinnamon roll. You did say you would deliver??? Have a great day! Hugs!!
