I'm Proud of Myself....
Quick one tonight, late night & long week.
-I'm proud of myself because I've eaten fewer calories than I have burned for 4 out of the last 5 days (& one day was only 28 calories over)! (Despite the 2 below points!)
-I'm proud of myself because I had not 1 but 2 compliments on my work today from colleagues in other regions. I've worked with both for some time (one for about 8 years, the other for somewhere between 3 & 5 years) & often do get thanks from them, but this was specifically related to something I did for each of them. & 1 of them sent me a yummy chocolate cake today!
-I'm proud of myself because I made some damn good cinnamon rolls earlier this week, which turned out to be the best damned baking I have ever done. I had 1 person tell me it was the best baking they'd ever tasted & another person (who only had a bite of 1 this morning) said if I ever went into business to let her know, she'd buy them (she usually eats pretty healthy). If I get made redundant I can take my payout $ & open a professional-grade kitchen to make these & sell them to the local cafes. They were soft, fluffy & tasty & the brioche dough was nice & easy (no knead with that recipe!).
Risen Brioche dough (from the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes book):
Risen, now resting & ready for 2nd rise. (raisin & raisin-less versions):
Risen & ready to bake:
Baked & frosted with maple-icing sugar icing:
