In other news, the geode hunt came up empty. I found one thing I thought might have been one but it was too big to carry back, let alone bash open to peer inside. I did manage to find two fossils though.

Something that pissed me off (and two fossils)
So remember the other day when I was behind that drunk driver who the cops finally nabbed? I looked in the paper this morning at my parents'. Not one mention of a drunk driver being arrested, which leads me to believe they let the son of a bitch go, free to get drunk and drive again. Small town cops are almost worthless.

Tis a good day for eating!
Carol came through with the breakfast casserole today. She wanted to bring it for my birthday but I had her wait until everyone would be in the office. It was good but she never puts cheese in it. What's a breakfast casserole without cheese? Still, it was delicious and got me through to lunch.
Lunch was a Philly cheese steak. The old cafeteria had an ass-kicking Philly that I would order at breakfast to make sure it was ready when I strolled into the cafeteria when it opened for lunch at 11. This one was rather bland but filling. But it kept me semi-full until...
... Fritz's Frozen Custard in the San Francisco room! My concrete was delightful even though it was vanilla with waffle cone pieces.
Other than that, not a whole lot going on. I'm looking to eat a leftover porkchop for dinner and I'm going to be crocking a roast tomorrow with green onions, beef broth, and a bottle of beer. Once I get home, I'll cook rice in the juice. That should get me through a few days.

The Verdict...
Delicious! My mom and dad dug into the cinnamon rolls before dinner. Looks like I'll be making them again.
Michael Jackson has been dead for over a year now and I still don't care any more about him than I did when he was alive. Does that make me a prick?
Not much else to report except it's hotter than a bastard outside.

C.R.O.G.S.
That's Cinnamon Rolls of Gargantuan Size. They're in the oven now.
I've never made cinnamon rolls other than the ones in a tube before. I'm curious about how these are going to turn out. I took a recipe meant for 12 cinnamon rolls and used it to make six, one of which is likely to occupy an entire 8 by 8 pan when it's finished.
Waiting is always the hardest part. I'm planning on taking the little pan out at 25 and leaving the big guy in the oven for a few minutes more. Then, the icing begins.

Have I mentioned the giant cinnamon roll?
So my dad's birthday is Tuesday. In lieu of making a cake, I shall attempt to make a cinnamon roll of epic size. Allow me to explain.
As I mentioned in 4/25's blog, my dad has been enamored with the giant cinnamon rolls from the Machine Shed since seeing them on Breakfast Paradise and took a road trip with my mom to Iowa to get some. Since he mentions the cinnamon rolls every couple weeks, I'll be attempting to make one to take over there sometime this week. I imagine I'll have to bake it a little longer to make sure its properly done and don't anticipate any major difficulties.
I hate when past Dan screws future Dan. I wanted to make breakfast this morning but past Dan left me a sink full of dirty dishes. He's always reading instead of doing house work and sticking me with the results.
Carrie had a snake in her house again this morning. I may have a serpent to slay when I go over this afternoon if it tries to get in again.

Fredricktown Friday
Yesterday after work, I headed down to Farmington to meet Carrie and her parents. We went to Olympic Steakhouse in Fredricktown. It was delicious! I had a sirloin and some shrimp. Carrie got all you can eat catfish. I was secretly hoping she couldn't eat it all. At one point she said "Just so you know, you're not getting that piece of catfish." We'll have to go there again.
Had I known what our next destination would be, I would have brought my camera. Millstream Garden was beautiful. Apart from Barb stepping in a pile of human shit, that is. Who shits right next to the path? I brought a few rocks home.
On the way back from Farmington, I got on 32 behind a guy that was clearly drunk, speeding up and slowing down and swerving. A cop finally nabbed him in Weingarten but not before he hit a skunk right in front of me. My car stinks a little this morning.
