The whole week has caught up with me because I slept in until after 9am this morning! I spent the morning pottering around the house making hot cross buns - I have never made these from scratch and after assembling all the ingredients and mixing the initial lot together, I had to knead the dough for a good 15 minutes - what a workout! Then there was an hour and a half to let the dough rise, another 5 minutes of kneading, another 30 minutes for the second rise and then there was making the crosses out of a flour paste and cooking them. They turned out amazingly, even better than the store bought variety. I enjoyed one for lunch today - and then another 1/2 for arvo tea later on after Good Friday service - hot cross buns are one of my favourite things but they sent the old carb score skyrocketing to over 60% intake today - even though my calorie intake is pretty moderate (there wasn't much room for anything else after the buns), I am sitting here as full as a goog. Given the wacko carb ratios, I can almost ascertain that there will be a "Wrong Way Dickhead" movement tomorrow on the scales - but I know that tomorrow's RPM class will be a real smacker!
