Cinnamon Roll Gone Wild
Would you look at this blueberry pecan cinnamon roll?
A bit frozen from the cold early morning motorcycle ride up Chinook Pass, we decided to stop at Whistlin' Jack Lodge and have a cup of coffee to warm up . . . where we were tempted by warm cinnamon rolls.
Oh. My. We saw that death bomb of sugar and calories covering the plate, actually oozing off the sides, and wondered what we had gotten ourselves into.
We managed only small portion of the treat as we savored the fragrance and flavor. This is truly a minimum of 4-person dessert. Or maybe 2 hungry Taylor's (a rating scale based on our son who adores cinnamon rolls). Definitely worth a coffee break pause or breakfast. But you better bring a few friends.
Bon appetit.

Fantastic Kitty Cat Microwave Fudge
You read me correctly. Follow directions exactly.
Fantastic Kitty Cat Microwave Fudge
Ingredients:
2 gray kitties, @ 8 months old
3 c. sugar
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 10-oz. pkg. dark chocolate chips, plus about 2 more oz. to make a total of 12 oz.
1 7-oz. container marshmallow crème
1 tsp. vanilla
1. Make sure kitties are not in kitchen.
2. Melt butter in microwave in a microwave proof bowl. Depending on the wattage of your microwave, adjust time to melt. Mine takes about 45 seconds.
3. Add evaporated milk and sugar. Stir very well with whisk. Scrape sides with spatula.
4. Check for kitties. All clear? Continue.
5. Cover with wax paper. Cook in microwave in 2 minute increments. Take out and whisk completely between each time chunk. Cook for a total of about 5 minutes. Once the mixture starts to boil, then watch very carefully. I usually switch to 30 second intervals so I can stir it down.
6. Remove and place on countertop. Add chocolate chips, marshmallow crème, and vanilla. Stir well until melted and mixed.
7. Pour into butter 9x12 baking dish. Lick the spatula and whisk.
8. Place fudge in cold oven to cool. This prevents kitties from getting in the pan.
9. Warning: Remove fudge from oven before using oven. Place fudge on top of fridge while oven is in use. Most important step: Do not forget fudge on top of fridge.
10. Cut fudge into 1-inch squares. Stop. Notice paw prints in fudge. Many paw prints.
11. Check for kitty hair. Looks good? Whew.
12. Remove pieces with paw prints. Feed to your family. They won't care.
13. Place other pieces on decorative platter.
14. Store covered in fridge until eaten.
15. Tell no one.
