Being Domestic

I have always loved the corn that Bill's mom Sylvia freezes. We have wanted to do this for years but we never did until this year. The corn we used was a little out of season, but it still worked. We got several dozen of corn, husked the corn then blanched it. We then cut off the corn and put it in freezer bags. It is such a simple process but now we have yummy sweet corn for the year.

Here we are working on the corn.

I have always loved my Aunt Claudia's rolls. For years I have wanted to learn how to make them. I have learned that there are tricks to making rolls and if you don't make them with the person that has the recipe and learn the tricks they just don't turn out the way the should. I had some cousins that wanted to learn as well. This week we got together to learn how to make my favorite rolls. Aunt C would have us make the dough and she would instruct us. Now I know why my rolls never turn out. I never fluffed the flour. I would always pack the flour in the measuring cup. My water for my yeast has been too hot. The list goes on and on. We had a fun time learning the correct roll making technique. Of course there were plenty of rolls to take home and eat. I was able to teach some of my cousins how to digital scrapbook. It was great to get together and have a great time, thanks Aunt Claudia for the fun.

After we made the rolls we went past an old house that belong to my mom's grandma's family. Then on the way home Megan wanted to see Devil's Slide. So, we stopped by there and Megan finally got to see it. Last year she did her county report on Morgan County so she knew that it is one of the main attractions in Morgan.

Here I am helping Steph with Photoshop and Heather and Aunt Claudia are mixing up some yummy rolls.
