Acouple of times a year the men of one of my churches gather in the church kitchen (yes, we have special permission from the kitchen overseers). We get together to make cinnamon rolls to sell at the annual Bazaar and every other year for the Yard Sale. These rolls are popular with folks because they have a unique recipe - they are made from a yeast dough. Because of the special properties of yeast, the rolls come out light and chewy (unless we add too much flour).
Musings on the month of May
“Once in a blue moon,”as an expression, speaks to a rare event. It rolls off the tongue much more easily than ‘once in a total solar eclipse’. Two full moons in a month is not as spectacular as the moon blocking the sun but May will start and end with a Full Moon and both of them are a bit unusual.
