Feeling Loopy
What Would You Do With 100 Grand?
See this yummy looking thingy on the left? Wanna guess how much it's worth? I hope you're sitting cause I wouldn't want anyone to pass out and get injured if you land on the floor, but this Sweet Potato Cinnamon Roll is worth $100.000!!! No, you don't need new glasses or a new computer screen.
This is the winning recipe of the Southern Living 2006 Cook Off
I'm so ashamed, and all of you should be ashamed also!!! Why the heck didn't we come up with this recipe and win $100,000 for it?! Do you have any idea what I could do with $100.000? Stuff like this really makes me feel stupid because I've been baking since I was about 13 and it has never occurred to me to try to make money from it.

4. Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 10- x 18-inch rectangle. Spread evenly with Filling, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll up dough, jelly-roll fashion, starting at 1 long side. Cut into 12 (1 1/2-inch) slices, and arrange in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 30 minutes.
5. Bake rolls at 400° for 10 minutes. Remove rolls from oven; drizzle Glaze slowly over rolls, starting at 1 edge of pan and drizzling in a circular pattern.
6. Bake rolls 7 to 10 more minutes or until lightly browned and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
7. Remove rolls from oven, and invert onto a baking sheet. Invert again, glaze sideup, onto a serving platter. Let cool 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

WOW why didn't we enter that contest?! There's always next year. Don't they do them every year? Everyone in Jland should do it and see if one of us wins. Wouldn't that be too cool.
Take care, Chrissie

As my blog is less than one month old and it doesn't have very many viewers yet, perhaps you could help me out and increase my chances come voting day, by sharing the link to my blog with all of your friends. If you could do that for me, I'd be ever so grateful.
Here it is...
