like crack, with frosting
Over the weekend, I rediscovered my love of the cinnamon roll–you know, those gigantic ones, the size of a baby’s head, covered in cream cheese frosting. And butter. Mmmm, butter. The best part of the cinnamon roll is that, unlike every other pastry in the universe, this is one that no one else in my house really likes. Henry will politely but reluctantly agree to share one with me, thus taking the edge off any guilt I may have about eating ANOTHER cinnamon roll, but after about four bites, he’s done. And Wade and Charlie are freaks who prefer the healthy(er) options like scones and coffee cake with real fruit baked in them.
Which is fine with me because I’m not in the mood to share these days.
But the cinnamon roll is like a big, gooey tranquilizer, which was precisely what I needed this weekend, because I spent most of it wrestling with WordPress (love WordPress! Love it! But still! New things are scary!) and trying to get That Other Blog up and running. And finally, after about four hundred cups of coffee and several (ahem) cinnamon rolls, I succeeded. And there was much swearing rejoicing. (Okay, there was some swearing, too, but mostly rejoicing.)
The new site is here. Tell your friends! And thanks to all of you for your help and support and general enthusiasm. If I were Oprah, I would buy each of you a car. Or at least some great new shoes.
Or maybe just a cinnamon roll.

I hope you’re willing to step up to the plate now, and airmail cinnamon rolls to all of your readers, because I read this post 1.4 seconds ago and now the only thing in THE.ENTIRE.WORLD. that will satisfy me is a big giant gooey cinnamon roll.
Thank you for that.
No, really, thanks.. MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ain’t Cinnamonster the BEST place? And I love the new web site. Maybe you should start a shopping service and shop for those of us who are shopping impaired.

Cinnamon makes everything better, just like chocolate.
I brought home two huge apple fritters yesterday while the girls were at school. With cinnamon of course.
Shame on us. (they had doughuts waiting though).
Just typed an entire sentence with my left hand one key out of place.

Should anybody have an easy yet delicious recipe for said cinnamon roll, please send my way… I am forever searching for the best homemade roll- too easy and they taste terrible, too hard and I can’t seem to accomplish the task. Hmmmm…

Tricia, I know nothing about hommemade anything, BUT I’m willing to bet that Danielle does. Go scout her archives.
That woman can cook ANYTHING.

Those cinnamon rolls are–I’ll just say it–orgasmic.

Susan, you make me blush! I don’t have a recipe in my archives, but this one sounds awesome: http://recipes.egullet.org/recipes/r316.html
I like that you don’t need to bother with yeast.

OH my goodness those sound delicious . . . And easy enough for even me. Maybe. We’ll see.
Thank you!
