Cruffins

Image
It's supposed to be a cross between a croissant & a muffin.  Easy to make, but... 3 Tubes of crescent roll sheets 1 C sugar 1 T of cinnamon 6 T butter 350 degrees Mix sugar & cinnamon. Flatten croissant sheets. Spreatd 3 T butter on each. Sprinkle sugar/cinnamon.  Roll tightly, cut into 2 rolls. Then cut rolls lengthwise.  Roll up from ends til it looks like a cinnamon roll. Bake in a standard muffin tin for 20 minutes.  Those are the official instructions. First thing is crescent roll sheets are $5.29 a tube. $15.87 is for 12 muffins is a little much.  A little  much. I instead used pie dough, which of course has no yeast so it won't rise like a normal cinnamon roll. I did use a muffin tin but they were not done in 20 minutes. Next time I'll just use a cookie sheet & toothpicks to hold them together.  I took them out of tin & finished baking on cookie sheet for an additional 8 minutes. Taste is really good though it's hard to not like ...

She Shed,Sorta

Image
  First thing to make clear is I own a 3 bedroom house & I live here alone.  But I was scrolling Pinterest & came across she sheds, which is a woman's "man cave".  It's a building or room that's a get away from whatever is going on everywhere else.  Even your home.  Technically it's a way to get a break from your family or life for a few minutes.  Or hours.  A place that is only hers, where no one else's opinion matters.  It's anything she wants it to be.  And again, I live alone so that's the way it is in my house but now I want a she shed.   Since another building would be A. Stupid & B. Not practical, I've thinking about a she room. More later.

Dream Today

Image
First, in my defense, I don't sleep well at night.  I go to bed about 11 but most nights I'm still awake at 3am.  So when I do finally go to sleep, I usually sleep hard & sometimes I sleep late. I'm usually up about 9 but sometimes I sleep later.  Today it was noon & I probably would have slept later except I have a reminder alarm that goes off at noon.  My body was trying to wake up before but I was dreaming clearly & didn't want to wake up. I was trying to hold on to the dream. It was Christmas Eve at the house in Spur. I can't exactly tell when but Cathy was there & she passed away in 1997.  Cathy's kids weren't in the dream but she had a friend with her who was a little annoying. Mom,Cathy & I made part of the lunch but friend didn't help cook or clean up. She kept music up loud & turned it back up when someone turned it down. My mom didn't like a lot of noise but it didn't matter to friend. She talked on her phone all...
