weekend review: dinner roll details

Figure 1. Saturday afternoon baking: salted mudslide cookies (10/10). I die.

Figure 2. Saturday night's dinner: simple pan-seared salmon with crispy skin (I seasoned mine with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme with a squeeze of lemon at the end) (9/10), baked pecan butternut squash (3/10 - this paled in comparison to roasting the squash in cubes), and a roasted fig and arugula salad (4/10).

And, below - my first time making dinner rolls from scratch (whole wheat dinner rolls). Preservative free, inexpensive, and delicious. I made an entire batch, enjoyed one too many, and froze the rest for a rainy day.

Figure 3. In preparation - the dough ball after kneading.

Figure 4. In preparation - before baking.

 Figure 5. In preparation - out of the oven.

Figure 6. Sunday night's dinner: Mom's pot roast (9/10), homemade whole wheat dinner rolls (8/10), and sauteed asparagus and tomatoes. I don't know about you guys, but I request a my less serious momma post, pronto!
