family, cake & over active yeast.

With a long weekend upon us we decided to make the most of it and invited James & Em to come visit, which they did! We started our evening with having Pizza Fondue, sounds crazy but oh so yummy. Our cousin Sara came over too with her boyfriend Eric, not only did we get to hangout with Sara but we finally got to meet Eric. They've been dating since may and we just barely met him, we really enjoyed getting to know him. This last week was Em's birthday so we celebrated together, I was slightly unorganized and forgot the candles so we used the 2 from Mark's birthday and she just blew it out twice.

Last November we discovered a recipe in the Hendricks cook book that we really enjoy, a caramel nut roll due to my allergy it has become a caramel almond ring. You prepare it the night before & let it rise than wake up stick it in the oven and there is caramel goodness in 25-30 minutes. Well I forgot how warm our house stays at night if I don't open the windows, and I didn't open the windows in the Kitchen since they don't effect if my room is hot or not I just forgot. It goes without saying the yeast when rise crazy! I even tried punching it down before baking it but still ended up with this.....
Still yummy but I am really glad I had a tray underneath it to catch the drippings or I'd be scrubbing the oven instead of writing this post!
