Ashton informed me, when he tried one after school, that they were "nearly" as good as Grandma's. I'll take that - my mom makes the best buns on the planet.
Then I started on a homemade potato soup. I thought if I made it up we could just grab a bowl around supper time. I had to move a couple of my Wednesday students so I was teaching from 3:40 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. with only a half hour break.
I don't really have a potato soup recipe, but this is basically how I make it.
POTATO SOUP
1/2 of an onion diced
2 - 3 stocks of celery chopped
5 - 6 medium potatoes chopped bite size
3 tablespoons of butter
salt
pepper
cover with water and cook until tender
add 2 cups milk and 1/4 cup sour cream
bring to a boil and thicken with flour and water mixture
top with cooked and chopped bacon, chives and dollop of sour cream (optional)
It is so easy but very tasty.
I was pretty busy during the day as I was babysitting my little nephew Dane and was getting guitar lessons ready for the evening so I had some dough left over that I hadn't had time to make into buns yet. As soon as Jason saw the leftover dough he asked if I could make some cinnamon buns with it. I've never made cinnamon buns before but I decided to give it a go.
I rolled out the dough, brushed it with melted butter, sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Rolled up dough, sliced it, placed in a pan, let it rise for 30 minutes and baked for 18 minutes. Voila - delicious cinnamon buns! Ashton had one for breakfast this morning and when I asked him if he liked it, he replied "I don't like it - I LOVE it!
Enough avoiding the inevitable. Today I must clean the house and do laundry!
I always get the 'almost as good as grandma's' too! Can't mess with the master. The cinnamon buns look awesome.
