Jinxed

 Darling hubby goes to the wellness center to exercise a couple mornings a week and they bring treats for birthdays,  new babies and such life events.  He came home raving about the caramel rolls one lady brought. In his defense he probably hadn’t had one since Christmas 2019 but he raved about it not once but twice, they were so light, melt in your mouth, blah, blah,blah. Thus jinxing the baker in this house so when I made caramel rolls for Christmas morning.........they didn’t rise. Darling daughter said if 2020 were a caramel roll it would look like this but of course she said that after they were consumed so no digital proof.  They tasted good they just didn’t look good. Today he comes home from wellness raving again about that woman’s caramel rolls, it was her hubbies birthday, he brought one home for me, bless his heart. It was tasty and then the truth came out.......he said she uses frozen bread dough and not a name brand but the cheap store brand! No wonder it was light and fluffy like wonder bread. I have always held by the end product is only as good as the ingredients that go into it, I like simple easy to pronounce ingredients like butter, cream, sugar, flour, olive oil etc.  The crescent rolls I made for Christmas dinner were perfect and they did not come from a peal apart can. I am done baking for the year and hubby shouldn’t be eating that kind of stuff at wellness. Hope to leave all the jinxes in 2020. —Ann—
