Today was my second attempt at making orange rolls. 'Attempt' is quite accurate because neither time did they rise. The first time, the yeast did not even make a budge, but I went for it anyways. This time, though, I waited, and watched, and the yeast not only grew... it doubled! Just like the package said it would. So I made the dough and left it to rise. And, instead, it sunk.
And I don't even know why this time.
Any breadmakers out there who can tell me why they didn't rise?
On a better note, I'm making some pretty cute things with all of the glorious fabric scraps I stole from my amazing quilter of a mother in law.
After I wanted to be a zoologist, and before I wanted to own a quaint Bed and Breakfast, I wanted to own a fabric shop. I pictured a great old house with creaky floors and odd-shaped doors covered from wall to wall in bolts of fabric. Next to Barnes and Noble, fabric stores are where I could spend hours upon hours just gazing and learning and creating and imagining and coveting.
And guess who has the free time to do just that? :)
Me!
