Friday I got the urge to do some baking and I made cinnamon rolls for the first time and loaf of banana bread. The rolls were fun and the only thing I needed to change was putting more butter in the caramel sauce. It got rock hard versus staying gooey for the sticky portion of the rolls. With the low humidity it didn't work so well and became rock hard...but it was still tasty. Mel was ecstatic at the rolls.

The lack of humidity really does nice things for bananas though. I really let them get black and here they dessicate a bit getting really really sweet. Makes the bread amazing. I put dried cherries in this batch.

We had dinner with Hrafnheim for Kristen's graduation dinner. TRied to hit up Sushi Garden but we ended up at Sushi Cho since they had space for a large group. Good sushi. It was awesome to have sashimi again. Gods I had missed it.

Saturday was A&S and we managed to deal with Benton pretty good. He was uber hungry and pretty cranky during the day but he got a few cat naps and then mel brought him to me to get cooler. Little guy still needs help with that. Got home very late due to judging taking forever as it does. Though I do know for next year things will be differently organized.

The stuff I judged was a weird mix of skill levels and dealing with little boy made it take me forever to judge just 3 things. I know mel did more than that. Not sure how much more.

We got home and mel was awesome and got us burritos and we had an early night. Little boy slept pretty good and then we all slept in until 9am. Mel ended up working in the shop and then hitting up home depot for more wood for the household project day. I dealt with a very cranky boy. We ended up heading out shopping about 4pm and getting b-day presents for Viktor, Linnet and Mason. We still need to get Faydra's very belated gift but there is a plan for that.

Looks like friday we will head out and get my B-day and Birth gifts. Mel got me a wonderful WaringPro hand mixer for Mother's day. We needed one and when it starts up it sounds like a jet engine starting. Plus its got a digital display that tells us how long you've been running the blades. Very cool.

Hoping to get a date night in on Friday if we can get a sitter. I'm hoping for a movie and dinner we shall see what we get.
