He Loves Me!

So ONE of my absolute favorite treats that I go crazy over is definitely the Cinnabon that is in the mall! When I was younger, they had one in our Joliet mall and about 6 years ago or so they decided that it just wasn't needed anymore and another cheap clothing store was.
Anyways.
My mother has a sort of a sweet tooth so every now and then after dinner she would look at her three girls and say something like, "hmm. a cinnabon would be so good right about now." We wouldn't be able to do anything else but hop in the car, drive over to the mall, and pick up some yummy goodness! (with extra frosting of course)
We would then go right back home, unpack our treats, grab a glass of milk, sit down and enjoy these wonderful cinnabons that probably have enough calories that would last a few days. (But that is just petty talk when it comes to these yummy treats)

Now that I am older, the closest store is in Orland, which is not a close drive for a late night snack. I guess I would say over the last month or two Rog has really began to understand my cravings for these things. He has been very kind in understanding and will occasionally go past the area so I can enjoy one. My mother has also picked one up here and there for me just cause SHE ALSO KNOWS!!!!

OK. So get this. Because my wonderful husband realizes my cravings at times and understands that this store is now so far away, he came up with a wonderful plan a few nights ago.
He got a great idea to make bread!
What kind of bread you ask?
OH, the kind that allows you to make this yummy treat!
Thanks, my wonderful husband, for not only keeping the humor in our marriage but for keeping my sweet tooth from having withdrawals!
Now we realize that these are not original Cinnabon's, however, when we were finished with this snack we both looked at each other and said, um, WOW!

"Have you ever eaten a cinnabon? You have to take a nap halfway through! Well I think I need some insulin...or a wheel barrel for my half a bun! It's kind of generous callin that a BuN it's more like a bean bag chair....*well do I sit in it or eat it? HEY I can sit in it AND eat it!"
