The Way to a Man's Heart is His Stomach

The past couple days have been a ...quest... to my man's heart through food. On Sunday, I needed to make cinnamon rolls for my primary class as we were making a birthday gift for one of our missing girls, so I made a half batch and half sized rolls. In otherwords, 1/4 sized rolls. They were a pretty fun size and leftovers were very much desired and enjoyed by the family.

He then also wanted to make an impression on the boys at work, so I made another batch today for him to take back to work. However, half was lemon and half normal so we had to make sure they tasted good and he didn't want to take any to work. So, he took enough for the guys around him and I "hid" the rest. Hopefully they'll actually last a little while.

The other night we watched Masterchef; which is like Top Chef in America, and saw a pretty awesome dish. It was a lace pancake/crepe that you ate with shredded up curry chicken. It didn't receive the very highest rating, but it was the most normal dish and something unique. Therefore, it was dinner tonight. :) Making the pancakes was pretty fun, albeit a little messy. Eating it is also a tich messy, but not bad. You tear up the pancake and grab some meat and eat it with your hands. We also thought it would be amazingly good with chocolate flakes in the batter with fresh berries to grab... To warn you, it takes just as long to make as crepes and is a bit more messy. I used an icing bag, but I'm sure there are other ways as well. Looks pretty good don't it. :)

By the way, this was Blake's latest challenge. Orange, Pink, and Purple, with the theme "Good Luck". First thing that came to mind was Little House on the Prairie when Laura painted the little house pink and purple.... It turned out alright though.
