Half Day

I left work on my lunch break today because I could barely keep my eyes open, I felt achy and just generally unwell. It's finally evident to me that the reason I haven't had much of an appetite and have been sleeping like an old man lately is because I have been getting sick. This seems kind of strange to me since I must have been fighting it for over a week now. As soon as I admitted this to myself, I was basically washed over with a myriad of flu symptoms. I got home and slept and didn't really do much else, including making or eating dinner. I didn't really plan to be sick this year, but since I didn't really eat much of anything, this seems like a good place to plug some Cinnamon Buns I made last week!

The dough in this recipe is perfect. The only thing I would do differently next time is put a bit more cinnamon sugar filling and make sure to make some cream cheese icing to go on top. Perhaps this is when I started to get sick, as I ate maybe four of these in one sitting and didn't feel so good afterwards. That's my main reason for not doing very much baking, I have no self control.

I gave away some to our landlords and their dog and split the rest with Shannon. They were all gone by the end of the next day. I actually don't think I'd have a cinnamon bun since… well, I don't even remember the last time I had a cinnamon bun before that, to tell you the truth. I do remember baking them with my grandma as a kid though and truth be told, I don't remember them being as good as this. When we rolled them up it certainly looked prettier than my half-assed job, though they still baked up beautifully both ways.
