Orange rolls!
1 dinner roll recipe (below)
1/2 cup softened butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
grated orange rind from two large oranges ( I recommend doublying this mixture to spread on dough)
orange glaze:
mix together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 3 Tbsp oranged juice, and 1/2 tsp. grated orange zest.
Follow directions below for dinner rolls. Combine butter, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a bowl and mix well. When dough is ready to shape into rolls, divide it in thirds. Roll each portion into a rectangle. Spread mixture over dough. Starting with long side, roll up jelly roll style. seal edges well, then cut with dental floss into 1 inch slices.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Let rise until dough doubles. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. remove rolls from pans and drizzle with orange glaze. The orange zest is a necessity. Makes them so much better.

7 Armadillos
So last night Andy killed his 7th armadillo. He tried first with a gun, but it didn't seem to finish it off. He went out last night at 10:30 to bury it, but it was still moving around. So he got his shovel and wacked it over the head several times. It was a pretty sight (I was standing from a distance watching him with the shovel over his head as he plunched it into its body). I hope they eventually go away, otherwise we will have a yard of dead armadillos. Just thought I would share.
