Cinnamon Rolls

Mix in some shortening and egg yolk and more...
Add yeast, milk, flour...
Roll out into big sheet. Spread butter, sugar, cinnamon on top.
Roll into LARGE roll. Cut small slices...
And prepare to eat. I did top with a powdered sugar/milk mixture, but didn't document that.

Olive Garden

We hadn't been out to eat in a long time and we both love Olive Garden, so when they had their all you can eat pasta, we signed up. I had one plate and took the second plate home.
Bridget enjoyed herself too.
I was full here after only one plate.
Should I try to finish the second plate.
My stomach said no way.
Here is a video that Bridget took of me sampling the hot pasta.

MRE Night

It's been more than a while since I blogged about my food adventures, so I'm going to catch up this week. This was an MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) night that we had. The MRE's, if you didn't know, come in a sealed package which lasts for years. Bridget and I each had one.
Inside the package are individually packaged bread, drink mixes, main dish, spreads. Certainly, the person who designed this was not concerned with the human footprint like Al Gore...
You fill this bag with water and a chemical heater which is activated by water. After about 8 minutes, the main dish is warm, and you didn't have to light a fire.
Me opening the package...
The presentation of the MRE meal. It's actually quite good.
