Cut up a apple and stick it in that dough before you fry it.(sugar, cinnamon, you get the idea)Betty Crocker has this biscuit recipe where you roll the dough into a rectangle, then cut into 1 inch slices. Dip them into melted margarine or butter, then lay them in a square/rectagle pan and bake.That was delicious and easy.

Sue - I will sure do that. I will also save some dough this time to fry the next morning. I haven't remembered to do that so far in the past.

Lucas: child care??? Dude you're kinda freaky lookin' to work in child care....unless your van has "FREE CANDY" spray painted on the side, then you got the look just right.

As luck would have it, I have 16 hours with absolutely nothing planned...I wish. Slather 2 with lots of butter and eat them for me, would ya? Oh! And save some dough to fry the next morning! Yummmm.

Sue - Sorry about the song. Most Chicago songs have a tendency to get stuck on a perpetual loop when I hear them too. My wife has actually demanded that I make the rolls this year. So, I will probably be baking them Friday since we are doing dinner on Saturday. We should have plenty of food, stop on by. It's only about a 16 hour drive or so.

sunflower_sue 5 years, 5 months ago
Nope. I'll be driving about a half mile to the in-laws house. And I don't have to cook! Woo Hoooooooooooo! (But I do have to endure...)ohjay, now I have that song stuck in my head. Are you making dinner rolls this year? If so, I'm on my way.

"Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?" Sorry, reading TOB's comment made me think of Chicago (group, not city).In answer to the question, no, it won't affect anything. We were going to drive about an hour up north regardless.

ain't heard that one in while, snap...gas prices most likely will not affect my plans...driving two and half blocks down to my sister's house...

Cheap gas?? Cars are cheaper too, but who wants to buy at a time like this. One thing for sure.... we are in this thing,( deep dark depression) and nobody likes it. . Will it be over soon??? Who knows.
Flap Doodle 5 years, 5 months ago
I'll be driving to LA via Omaha.

Blue -Yesterday they were somewhere off Mass. I can't remember where. Not even sure it was yesterday. And what is yesterday? With all this time travel space continuum issues, yesterday could have been tomorrow. It could be today. It may be right now. Heady stuff, to be sure.
blue73harley 5 years, 5 months ago
All I can say is WOW! The award winning LJW actually got off Mass St.(must be due to cheap gas) AND they referenced the story in the question. Will wonders never cease?
