Starving Artist Ink.

this morning i woke up excited to figure out a way to use the left over dough from the calzones.

last night i had ideas of making them into salty pretzels, and cinnamon sugar pretzels. perhaps another time-i found a recipe that i'd like to try for those though…

maybe powdered sugar doughnuts… nao.. i don't think this dough was up for it. i've a recipe for those stashed away for another day as well. : )

sunday morning, so cinnamon rolls it is.

i let the dough sit for a while, it had chilled and rose a bit in the fridge last night.

after it warmed up a bit it let me roll it out without pulling back into place.

i melted a bit of butter and spread over the rectangle, sprinkled with sugar and dusted with cinnamon. i had a bit of brown sugar left so i used some of that to sprinkle in too.

i rolled it up, sliced, and put them in a cake tin to set for a few minutes.

popped them into the oven for around 10 minutes, and made a glaze out of melted butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and a splash of milk.

once out of the oven i drizzled them with goodness and served them to the boys for breakfast. (steven's friend stayed the night)

they were scrumptious and lovely.

the cinnamon rolls, not the boys.

and then i got this wild hair to clean the house… three loads of laundry, vacuumed stairs, swept sitting room… scrubbed toilet. organized closet, made bed. whew!

i was finally able to work in a few sketches and settle in with a cup of tea..

and now.. even after all of that cleaning, i still have so much more cleaning and organizing to do before one of my best friends comes to ireland for a visit.

i'm so excited to see her, and it'll be so weird to see her over here. (but she has a super cute house. haha and mine isn't so.)

safe travels for angel and martha!
