Smells good in here.......
Hamburg and hotdog buns just out of the oven. LOL, the hotdog buns look stubby, like pigs in a blanket but they are wiener-length. :-)
I also made homemade fudgesicles in the freezer, and it smells like cocoa in here too. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Comments (12)Have you seen the "mice" cookies made out of stemmed maraschino cherries dipped in chocolate with Hershey Kiss heads resting on half of an oreo cookie? They are soooo cute and everybody who sees them, raves about them. You take the top off of an Oreo cooke and save the white frosted part to use as the base. Dip a stemmed cherry in melted chocolate and lay on the white frosting with the stem facing backward like the tail of the mouse. Place a dab of chocolate on the base of the Hershey Kiss. Use 2 sliced almonds pressed into the chocolate as ears and press against the cherry. The base of the kiss goes against the cherry with the almonds in between as the ears. Use green frosting gel and place 2 dots on the Kiss as eyes. Place a red hot or cinnamon candy on the center of the white frosting by one side of the mouse and pipe green gel leaves on either side of the red hot. It is just a green squiggle on either side, but it gives the effect of holly. You could also use a dot of red piping gel on the tip of the Kiss as a nose, but it isn't really necessary. When done, the mouse faces sideways with the holly in front! They take some time, but aren't that expensive as the cherries usually come in a jar with a large number of cherries, and probably 3 bags of Oreos would give 100 bases. I always get people raving over them when I make them for my Christmas Open House. TTFN, Candy...See MoreWall flowers from Bath & Body
Comments (9)I used to be a diehard Wallflower fan, back in the days when they were made by the White Barn Candle Company. Then Slatkin took them over and for the first couple of years they were OK. Now the scent only seems to last a couple of days and then you have 3 weeks of nothing. Lots of complaints on the Facebook discussion board about the poor quality of late. I too have switched to Febreze Noticeables. The scents aren't as sophisticated, but at least they last. Joann, I believe the scent you are referring to is Creamy Nutmeg. It used to be one of my favorites. Check the website for sales. They almost always have the two pack refills at $6 on sale. And the stores now carry 6 singles for $24. Hope you have better luck with the current ones that I did....See Moresmells good around here
Comments (7)Anything with brassavola in it, species or hybrids, Grows very easy here. I have them in the landscape and they manage some extremes but keep on going. They are natural to central and south America. I think if us humans delayed our arrival to the scene they would have found their way here without us....See MoreJasdip

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoWe had a burger bun with our pasta primavera last nite. Super good!!!! I kept 2 out so we can have burgers.
The recipe is off of King Arthur's site. I make bread every week and I made these by hand as well. You can use a bread machine, a stand mixer or by hand. I just rolled some into rolls for the hotdog buns.
I use regular yeast, not instant, and I don't brush them with melted butter before baking, that makes them too soggy.
The fudgsicles that I first saw called for heavy cream and whole milk, neither of which I use, so I looked for a low-fat recipe. This one calls for corn syrup, which I couldn't find. I swore I had some in the cupboard. I subbed cornstarch and it worked great. (I'm going to cut back a bit on the cocoa next time)
Fudgesicles
2 cups low-fat milk
1/2 cup cocoa
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp fine salt
2 tbsp corn syrup (or 2 tsp cornstarch)
1 tsp vanilla
If using cornstarch, combine it with 2 tbsp milk in a saucepan, until smooth. Whisk in remaining milk, sugar, cocoa and salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat stirring constantly, being careful that it doesn't boil over. Reduce to medium and cook 1 minute making sure sugar and cocoa is fully dissolved.
Remove from heat, add vanilla. Pour into a measuring cup and pour into popsicle molds. Freeze 6 hours.
