Rolls - Tried Heidi's super complicated roll recipe above, didn't find them horribly complicated, but also didn't think they were the best roll I ever had. I might have done something wrong. I think I cooked them a bit too long. Everyone loved them and gobbled them up. Heidi, seriously, ya could have warned me that they come out shaped like vulvas.

Butternut Squash - So easy in the microwave! Really delicious too. Michael liked it!

Yaay!

The cranberry sauce is so amazingly easy, isn't it? I love it. Mmmm, leftovers.

Unfortunately, our squash was so popular it is already gone. That microwave trick rocks, especially as so many other things are happening in the oven at the time. I'm glad it worked out for you!

I wish I was there to make the rolls with you. They're not supposed to look like vulvas... so something must have gone slightly wrong. Also, the flour thing is really tricky. That recipe comes from a line of women who didn't actually measure the flour, so they're supposed to end up really buttery and tender, and look like oval domes. (And, actually, mine were a little over-floured this time. More chewy than melt-in-your-mouth. But I'm glad you tried them!)
