I colored this tonight. I used Mongol colored pencils, and mounted it on 2 sheets of card stock with mini brads.

Cinnamon Rolls

3/4 C. milk	1/4 C. butter	3 1/4 C. all purpose flour
1 package instant yeast (2 tsp.)	1/4 C. white sugar	1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 C. water	1 egg	1 C. brown sugar, packed
1 Tb. cinnamon	1/2 softened butter

Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in butter; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, softened butter. Roll out dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle. Spread dough with butter/sugar mixture. Sprinkle with raisins if desired. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal size rolls and place cut side up in 12 lightly greased muffin cups. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until browned. Remove from muffin cups to cool. Serve warm

New Orchid

Welcome my three newest members to the orchid family(#4, #5 and #8).  I found them abandoned on the self at Lowes where plants go to die.  They were marked down to $1 each.  They are being gently rehabilitated and surrounded by members of their own kind. The color of the blooms remains a mystery, but one look like a white variety (#5), and one looks like it may be a spotted purple (#8).

Kraft chicken caesar

This was pretty good, much better than the pesto.  It was a good 15 minute meal.
