The boyfriend and I baked kolaches yesterday. The route we take when baking them is not the traditional, like gramma and momma made 'em. Never mastered the knack of the four-open eyes, so rather than produce dough balls that end up looking like star fish, we make the round open-faced kolaches with a bit of crumble topping, the Eastern European way. We use Rhodes frozen Sweet Dough, that comes 3 loaves in a plastic wrapper and Solo canned filling. Cherry was the filling of choice. Usually get 3 dozen out of three loaves, but yesterday's batch got only 2-1/2 dozen cuz I made 'em too big. Oh, well, they're good and we'll take 'em with us to Easter dinner today, along with a fruit salad. Bought the pre-cut fruit and will make a box of instant vanilla pudding with cool whip to mix with the fruit. Our 4-some family Easter celebration was changed from Sunday to today due to weather forecast.
Started the wiggly crochet trivet, and am having fun with the new pattern. Already can see that it'll go among my go-tos for homemade gifts, filled with the labor of love.
Dismal day, 29 degrees when we got up a bit ago. Can't wait to get up to see my two other little fuzzy buckets, Millie and Maggie. My sister-in-law sent a copy of the baby calf that was just born. Fun day ahead.
