Works good for me.<br />Right now I'm reading Innocence by Dean Koontz. It's number 2 for me.

Some years have more than others but overall I manage at least one book a week. It's always interesting to look back and remember this or that particular book that I might have enjoyed more than others. Love the older books you have especially the one with the dust jacket. Those are getting harder and harder to find.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690200815401861750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-11111793336420333422016-01-21T17:34:38.105-05:002016-01-21T17:34:38.105-05:00Glad your second batch of biscuits came out perfec...Glad your second batch of biscuits came out perfectly, Kim. Yes, it's true that a good rising must have warmth. My mother and grandmother would put the bowl of covered dough on or near the radiator in the winter time. <br /><br />Enjoy your cozy reading time. It's very windy here near Houston, Texas, with lots of storm clouds surrounding and a 'big' cold front moving coming in...which means it will be in the 30s to 50s for a couple of days...otherwise it's been like late spring almost all winter :( I like the spring, but just not in the winter. We need a break from the heat in these parts.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Marianne xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-29684254858852141532016-01-21T10:36:25.314-05:002016-01-21T10:36:25.314-05:00I've not made my own bread rolls - your latest...I've not made my own bread rolls - your latest ones look delicious Kim.<br />Great idea to keep a book list - I mean to this each year but forget. . . . . then forget again when trying to recall just what the heck I did read!<br /><br />Stay warm - could be a bad night and then tomorrow a real icy day if the storm hits!<br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-2307632635793691282016-01-21T00:28:48.764-05:002016-01-21T00:28:48.764-05:00I usually don't make rolls/bread because of th...I usually don't make rolls/bread because of that very thing. The rising part. But I do have one recipe that I go to when I want to make a simple bread -- it's from the China Study Cookbook and is very quick and easy. I was going to keep up with all the projects I've crocheted this year but have already lost count. Still have a book started in November that I need to finish up and then I can move on to another one. Looks like you found some lovely old books at the thrift store.

Today I did substitute half a cup of oat bran for equal amount of flour just to make them a bit healthier. <br />Last year I did what you are planning for this year, that is, I kept track of the books I read. By some fluke I read exactly 52, one for every week of the year!!Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-14697881460589955762016-01-20T20:32:57.792-05:002016-01-20T20:32:57.792-05:00You were so smart to get your rolls to rise that w...You were so smart to get your rolls to rise that way! It's so hard to get them to rise in the winter when it's so cool.<br /><br />I've always wished that I had been keeping a reading list over the years.

I'm reading a couple of things - a history/current events book, a book about a man walking through Wales, and Mr. Rosenblum Dreams in English. The last one I haven't begun yet, but I hope to this evening. <br />The rolls look delicious!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-30696008158322825572016-01-20T18:49:29.254-05:002016-01-20T18:49:29.254-05:00Good rolls are a must at Easter.

Glad that the second was better.

I put a mug of water in the microwave for one minute and then added the rolls to rise. They were yummy! (I think I used the sweet roll recipe which was a tad sweet, so next time I'll just use the regular recipe in the bread machine recipe book). Yours look good! Can I have one?Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.com
