The husband and I were watching Food Network HD the other night (the absolute best surprise when we got satellite, in my opinion) and caught Alton making cinnamon rolls. The husband isn’t as big of a fan of Food Network as I am, but he’ll watch Alton and the Next Food Network Star with me, and this is why. I wanted to make the rolls after the show was over but realized I didn’t have enough time that night so I started yesterday morning.

For some reason I’ve never had much luck with cinnamon rolls. The dough always turns out a tad too tough and they just don’t rise as much as I’d like. Alton’s, however, turned out so well that I’m already making plans to stockpile more brown sugar and cream cheese. These are amazing! They do take a little time to prepare, but I didn’t actually have them in the fridge overnight, it was more like five hours, and they still turned out perfectly. Needless to say the kids loved them as well.

Sorry for the loooong absence! I got caught up in some freelance writing elsewhere and a few other things had to suffer.

Anyway, a few things to announce:

- The forums are hopping! Stop by, register, and say hello!

- The Blogathon site is open for registrations and sponsorships! I will be blogging for Heaven Can Wait Sanctuary, a no-kill shelter here in Las Vegas. You can sponsor me here and remember, no donation is too small!

- b5 Media, one of the sites I write for (chocolate!) has launched their Music Channel this morning. The new weblogs range from Hippie Sounds to New Age to Punk. They’re also running a contest for all visitors to win an iPod Shuffle, an MP3 player, or an iTunes gift certificate, so go check it out and enter!

Got some news to share?
