Sorry about the headache. Rotten to have that on Easter Sunday of all days! I love your baking. I am trying to find a good gluten free recipe to make my own pizza dough, and those cinnamon buns look awesome.
ReplyDeleteI rarely have headaches. Usually only when a storm is coming as it seems I have a weather station in my head!LOL! But no storm until later this week. Just Google 'best gluten free pizza dough' and you'll be surprised how much pops up. Also, Pinterest has lots of gluten free recipes. Good luck!
DeleteI don’t really understand what the pickle dishes are, you don’t actually put pickles in them do you? My MIL came over today and we had fajitas for Easter Sunday lunch! There’s no rules. Mmm those buns look yummy.
ReplyDeleteIf you check my YOP 2018-19 on my right hand side bar you will see my original projects for this YOP year starting out. It was my first post. I've strayed off of it obviously but the Pickle Dish 'quilt/wall hanging' is in there and the book that I purchased to make it.
DeleteI would be appreciative if anyone would stop by and cook anything for me! LOL! I never eat out as around here it is pretty unhealthy stuff so I cook everything from scratch. Fajitas....YUM!
OK, now I'm hungry! All your food and your projects look delish. Add me to the curious about what a pickle dish is.
ReplyDeletecheck my YOP 2018-19 label on my right hand sidebar and it will explain what the pickle dish is...it was my first post for this YOP year.
DeleteI was just starting to ask you what the pickle dishes are for and I see Liz beat me to it above. I've so enjoyed seeing them as you've made them, and they are interesting just as they are, but I've gotten to wondering what you do with them? The term pickle dish seems to relate to tiny-pieced and geometrical quilt designs... But maybe you'd like to share (or share again) what yours are for...
ReplyDeleteHope your headache gets knocked down. I've had a very tired Easter (stayed home while dh went to his mother's) for lunch, but hopefully I'll get back on my feet tomorrow as some beautiful weather is a wastin'.
Yes, it was in my first post for this YOP year 2018-19...check my YOP 2018-19 label above on my right hand side bar and it it in there with pictures and the book etc.
DeleteI imagine you are tired after the big birthday celebrations! LOL!
It's good to see you posting. I'm sorry you aren't feeling great, but you sure got a lot done this week. Your pizza and rolls both look amazing. We had taco salads at a little out of the way restaurant on the Oregon coast. We had been told about a place that was between Portland and where our hotel is. We went to church in Portland and then drove a new route to the coast. When we arrived at the recommended restaurant it was a 3 hour wait for a table. This was after 2:00 in the afternoon! We decided to keep driving! At the place we had taco salads we were the only customers! (They weren't very good either.)
ReplyDeleteBut, we've made it to the ocean and it's beautiful.
Take care my friend.
Blessings,
Betsy
You are a travelin' gal! Sorry I have not kept up but Easter and Spring kept me 'hoppin' just like the Easter bunny. Hopefully I'll catch up with you soon! Taco salad sounds good except sorry you're wasn't. They say to never eat where there are no cars or trucks. They say to eat where there are a lot of semi's as the truckers know where the good food is. Enjoy your trip!
DeleteHope you are feeling better by now. It sounds as though you have had a great week. Yay for nearly finished socks! Your pizza looks fab.
ReplyDeleteI am better! Can't keep a good gal down! LOL!
DeleteSorry to hear about the Headache Sam and hope the rest helped some with it. There are no rules I think to Easter lunch and I love your cinnamon rolls....well ok I've a weakness to them and my daughter makes some fantastic ones, at 14 she's turning into a brilliant baker...but I do wonder how much I'd like the Pecan caramel kind..mmmm..I'll have to see lol.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it's been a super busy week for you doing lots of not only making but, cleaning and cooking also. I love the card, it made me giggle and I'm with Liz and Becki...may I ask what the pickle dishes are for, or what you will use them for? They look as if I'd use them for holding small trinkets and items but I am curious. Hope you have a good week Sam.
Click on my YOP 2018-19 on my right hand sidebar at the top. It was my first post of this YOP season and had my 'goals' and aspirations for the year. It shows pictures of finished Pickle Dishes and the book I purchased to make them. It will be a wall hanging. I will post pictures next Sunday too in case anyone missed my replies here. Lucky you with a baking daughter! OH yeah...caramel pecan rolls...toasted with butter...yum! BTW....I only buy Kerry Gold Irish butter! It's the only grass fed cow butter I can get around here. We have corporations ruining our food supply here in the states. My relatives never farmed that way with chemicals and cruel to their animals. It's a shame so I am grateful for organics and grass fed cows!
DeleteHope you're feeling a lot better now.
ReplyDeleteHeadaches are the worst!
Gee, you are amazing with all that you accomplish! Way to go!!
We are in the middle of our house selling, so I am not taking on anymore projects right now. I am still working in the yard though.. I need to do that, as it's my therapy..LOL!
Have a lovely day.
~K.
I do feel better now...thank you. Do you have a house picked out or are you waiting until you sell? Or are you going to travel the country? How exciting!
