On Marking Your Home

Little by little, I'm still working on marking our home. I miss my chalkboard wall in my old kitchen so when we moved here I painted a chalkboard on an old piece of wood. After wandering the desert, it has finally found a home by the porch door in our dining room sitting on my Grandma's old sewing machine. It's the center room in the house so it gets high visibility which is good 'cause I use it in memorizing--which I'm really slow at so I need the constant reminder of what I'm working on.

To see other areas I've marked and why: Laundry room in last house, farm house family room.

Here's the cinnamon roll recipe: http://sixofsix.blogspot.com/2009/08/cinnamon-rolls.html

I've since changed the baking time to 15 minutes. I also add a pan of water on the bottom rack to catch the drippings and keep them moist.

For the icing I use the butter cream icing from my tried and true Betty Crocker cookbook. I think it is: 3 cups powdered sugar, 2 tbs. milk, 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/3 cup of softened butter.
