Cooking is NOT my thing

In preparation to take dinner to someone, I took a roast from the freezer, placed it in the sink to defrost for a few hours before I went to bed. My plan was to move it from the sink to the fridge overnight, and slow cook it the next day. You guessed it! I forgot all about it until the next morning. The roast went from the freezer, to the sink, to the garbage can. Wouldn't that be terrible to get a sick person sicker; all because of my cooking. I made chicken soup instead, with homemade rolls.Rolls can't be that hard. I mixed the dough, let it raise (oops, I almost forgot AGAIN), rolled out the dough, and baked them. Ta da!

They did look nice; but when I went to put the recipe for my blog I realized I forgot the powdered milk. I would much rather sew a quilt. With sewing, I have something to show for my efforts and I can't kill anyone with the results.

I do like my Crescent Rolls when I pay attention:

3/4 cup dry powdered milk

1/3 cup shortening

1/3 cup sugar

2 tsp. salt

3 cups hot tap water

3 eggs

8-9 cups flour

2 Tbsp. instant yeast

Put milk, shortening, sugar, salt, and hot water in a bowl. Mix together. Add 4 cups of the flour, eggs, and yeast. Mix well until smooth. Add the remainder of the flour little by little as it is mixing. Knead 4-5 minutes. Let raise until double. Divide into fourths. Roll each portion into a circle. Spread melted button on top. Cut like a pizza into 12 sections. Roll from big end to small. Place on a greased pan. Let raise again until double. Bake at 370 degrees for 9-11 minutes.
