Cinnamon Rolls, Part 2 & Lunch and Dinner plans

The cinnamon rolls came out great - I drizzled melted butter over them before they went into the oven, and I drizzled some homemade icing over them when they came out. Yeah!!

I want to make a cheese danish at some point.

Just went to Whole Paycheck. Took a right this time, at the front door. Explored the "restaurant" area. Saw the bakery. Walked to the back and discovered the cheese shop. Stopped there for a long while. Picked up a St Andres and a Wensleydale Cranberry (it had cranberries mixed into it) and block of Emmental. Having a cheese shop is NOT a good thing for my wallet.

Also picked up some basil pesto and an artichoke/parmesan spread. I should not take a right when I'm at the front door of Whole Paycheck, iffen I don't want to spend the whole paycheck. Got some golden beets, celeriac, fresh ginger and limes. I came *THIS* close to buying Chestnut Flour and caught myself.

Got home and make up a cheese course for me and Mom. Grapes, carmelized walnuts, the St Andres and the cranberry cheese, crackers. Really good. Note to self: next time, I want apricot jam.

Lunch today is meatloaf because I have to make that hamburger in the fridge. On the side: mashed potatoes made with russets and the celeriac! Woohoo! Very simple.

Instead of the red snapper I had planned tonight, I'm switching to chicken. I believe I will pound it flat, stuff it with the basil pesto and some cheese and maybe bacon (? not sure about basil and bacon) and roll it in bread crumbs and bake it in the oven. I'll roast the golden beets and we'll have a salad on the side. Good deal!

Dessert will be a blackberry fool sort of thing. Light and airy and just a touch of sweet.

Tomorrow, let's see. Breakfast is out. Lunch is out. Dinner, though, is going to be swiss chicken. That's why I picked up the Emmental, for a surprise.
