These are similar to the rolls Jeff's mother makes.

These rolls are NOT similar to the ones Jeff's mother makes.

Yeast is about as forgiving as immediate family. One wrong thing and *bam!* It's over between the both of you.

I know that. I've made TONS of bread before, I know you have to be nice to yeast.

But sometimes my blondeness gets a hold of me. Like when I dumped the warm yeast water instead of the regular water into the just boiled shortening and sugar. "Oh crap." I thought. "Maybe it
(the yeast) won't notice I just did that if I mix them all together real quick...."

But the yeast did notice. And the yeast was NOT amused.

The only ones who would eat the poor, non-rising rolls after that were the squirrels.

They'll eat most anything. Except strawberries, kiwi, peaches and cream oatmeal and celery.

Finicky thing yeast is. I believe I have said those exact words while making bread as well...'maybe the yeast won't notice.':)
Ha ha ha...I've only heard about the nightmares involved with yeast, but luckily haven't had a bad experience yet.
I love your squirrels they're so cute! Sorry about the rolls.
Please, what are those squirrels doing in you kitchen?!
