Recipe: strawberry cinnamon rolls
Jeremy and I usually spend our weekends working because that’s when all of our favorite places tend to be the busiest. But after a long day of shooting (for me) and editing a scientific paper (Jeremy), we needed to get out for a break. My idea of a break is exercise in the great outdoors. And they really were great that evening, touting some of the finest spring conditions I’ve enjoyed in a long while.
there were clouds all around except for one giant blue sucker hole above us
excellent snow (fast, yet good grip for climbing)
skiing back to the car, we ran into a few thin spots
And then we got 8 inches of snow on Sunday. I’m not complaining! We usually get a big dump of snow the day AFTER our local ski hill closes for the season. At least this time it was on closing day. My friend, Sarah, asked me on Friday what I was going to do now that ski season (she meant resort ski season) was drawing to a close. I smiled and said, “BACKCOUNTRY skiing!” That’s part of the reason I wasn’t freaking out about skipping closing day. I wasn’t skiing it because of that whole weekend-crowds-bad-timing-of-the-powder thing AND because I was busy making a mess at home. But what a delicious mess it was…
dough: flour, vanilla, milk, eggs, butter, sugar, salt, yeast
pour the yeast over the warmed milk
mix in the sugar, butter, eggs, salt, and vanilla
**Jump for more butter**
