Yesterday morning we picked lots of blueberries at the local u-pick farm. Buckets full - close to twenty pounds. It was our third trip to the farm this year and I have only frozen a few trays of them. We have been eating them like CRAZY.Later in the day, I rolled out some dough for cinnamon rolls and spread it with butter, brown, sugar, and cinnamon...There on the counter was a big bowl of fresh picked blueberries. So, I tossed a bunch of those on the dough and rolled it up.
(my helper had to get a photo too)
They really turned out great. I was so eager to try them that I put the frosting on as soon as the came out of the oven, I should have waited a couple of minutes for that.
They were so good that I'm making them again today!I know that I posted my cinnamon roll recipe as the Best Ever Cinnamon Rolls but I think we have succeeded in making the best BETTER!
goin' with the a-go-gos
We had loads of fun with the a-go-gos!We toured the Jiffy Mix factory.
They really gave the big selling push for their mixes. Yes, you can buy it by the case.
Hairnets are required to go on the factory tour. Don't we look cute?
I wish we could have taken pictures on the factory floor. I love the old machinery and all the conveyors going from one place to another. The box building and filling stations are really fun to watch.I enjoy being a tourist in my own town.
We went to the famous Manchester Chicken Broil. 14,000 chicken dinners in four hours. What more can we say?
We got some fantastic coleslaw with our meal. Apparently the recipe is heavily guarded.
We saw the fairy doors in Ann Arbor.
I always enjoy peeking into the fairy shop to see what's for sale. There are always a few baby teeth in the display case.
We picked blueberries
and hung out around the house.
I am so glad to have gotten the chance to meet the a-go-gos in person!
I hope they have a marvelous time on the rest of their journey.
Pie Day
I seem to learn a lot of things on flickr these days. I checked in this morning and learned that today is National Pie Day. So, naturally I made a pie.
Put it on your calendars for next year. January 23 - National Pie Day.If you're quick you still have time to make a pie tonight!I mixed up a pie crust and used this easy recipe with blueberries from the freezer.
Happy Pie Day.If you missed the celebration today you get another chance on March 14: Pi Day.
