Weekend Glimpse

I picked up this and this.


Heather and I at Ikea.
Shopping for her baby, yay!


Sunday night cinnamon rolls.
Is it ok that I ate these for dinner? (don't answer that, Mom)

I made them using this scone recipe, minus the chocolate chips. Instead of shaping the dough into a disk, I rolled it in a rectangle, spread it with softened butter, then sprinkled it generously with a mixture of white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut into 10 rolls, baked in greased pans at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, then iced with a cream cheese frosting. Eaten immediately, hot from the pan. They were freaking amazing. I will now be forced to look down on all other cinnamon rolls.

Not pictured:
- meeting Pioneer Woman! (more about this to come)
- awesome front desk girl at our hotel who gave us free juice
- crashing on my couch and taking a 3 hour nap
- wondrous steaks with Cory's mom
- missing my mother, and being glad she is coming to visit this week

Stay tuned later today for a surprise!

oooo I like that timer! I'm going through Anthropologie withdrawls after leaving the one that was 5 minutes from my house in CA.
You and Heather are so beautiful!
So are your cinnamon rolls...

So that is what an Anthropologie store looks like. I've only seen the catalog.
I've never made cinnamon rolls with our scone recipe - good idea!
I'd forgotten that we talked about putting flowers on the back of the chair where the cane was broken. It really look great!
Can't wait to see you :)

Beautiful picture of you two! And although you did not elaborate on the front-desk-girl-free-juice situation, I have a feeling that somehow the dialogue may have been similar to this...

Heather: "So I'm pregnant and swelling..."
Desk Girl: "Have some free juice!"

That's how I saw it in my head when I read that part anyway... :)
