fooled ya

I was at Costco today to grab a few things, and bribed Luke with the possibility of pizza if he was good. He made it, and enjoyed the fruits of his labor. As we were cleaning up our pizza mess a sweet older lady comes up to me and *gasp* tells me that my boys are so well behaved and that they must have an amazing mother. I inwardly laughed, thinking that I sure fooled her! But minded my manners and said "Thank You!"

This sweet lady didn't see our normal spilled water, thrown pizza, tears, and tantrums. But today...today I am an amazing mother.

I have a secret love affair with these:

4-6 C. flour
1/4 C. butter
1/4 tsp. (or so) Garlic powder
Parmesan Cheese

1. In a medium bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let stand 10 mins., add salt and flour until it's not sticky
2. Knead, then cover and rise until double.  Roll out dough into rectangle, cut into strips and twist.  Place in greased pan.
3.  Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan, Bake in preheated oven.  400 for 15-20 mins.
