Icelandic Chickens

Mary, the rolls were delicious, but the process was a disaster! So here's how it went:

Cubed the squash and got it steaming. When it was finished I pureed it and added it with the other ingredients in the bread machine. Decided to steam remaining squash to freeze for use later. Got busy doing other stuff and forgot about squash til I smelled the burning smell. Took steamed burnt squash to the chickens. (they didn't seem to mind) An hour later the bread machine is done - Open it up and it still looks like I just put it in there, not mixed up at all. Apparently too much flour for it to mix it. Mixed it by hand and had to add extra flour to make it not so sticky - finally got that done and formed the rolls. Put them in the oven for the rise and then baked them. They didn't rise as much as they should have, but they were still delicious. (kids loved them too) Next time I'm doing it by hand.

No, just buy a Zojirushi bread machine. It can handle anything!

I am glad you liked them but wish the experience had been better for you. I am planning to clarify some of the steps in the recipe today so strangers don't have to call me on the phone and say "Huh?"

Mary I'd get one of those machines but dont know if I can pronounce it to ask for it

Who sells them?

Where I am they kind of skipped over it but the snow comes deep, thats how it is in the north.

We have heavy fog right now, with light rain and temps in the upper 30s.

In the Yukon 6 years ago I had -32, in my cabin. I dont reccommend it.

Jake - I googled them - they are sold by Amazon.

Heckuva Deal !!

I had a bread making machine, but it wore out. Really ought to get another one.

Thanks Kelly.

We are in the PNW, right where is says "frequent winter storms"
And last night & today still, is a doozie!
Coming your way..heading east..lots of heavy rain that even sounds like a hail storm on the roof!
Nasty winds & gusts up to about 40-50 MPer........all heading east.

My daughter just moved to the South Elgin area..by Chicago (I think) bet she is more than ready to come home (and bring her BF) after this winter!

DrumstickDiva: maybe this winter the drifts will completely go over your house!

I wanna see the summer version of that map.

Thanks alot chickielady. When you say your weather is headed east please keep it away from me until after tomorrow. I have to walk home (6.5 miles) from the doctor Wednesday because it will be too late to get the senior bus home.

I walked that far today inadvertently. Lost yet another pair of sunglasses so backtracked and sidetracked and no glasses. I was cussing everyone out figuring they found them and took them. Okay so I get down to the computer just now and find the glasses sitting on the keyboard. I'd like to know who snuck into my house and put them there. Maybe I can dust for prints.

Thats a long walk for a phantom intruder to strike

Sounds like something I would experience, though dusting for prints never works, I dont remember where it is.

Where is Willow Spring? In NA?? Now I didnt misplace that !!
