Domestic Geo-engineering

After 3" of rain in about an hour yesterday, there's more on the way this evening.

Due to the significant water in the basement yesterday, most of which arrived via puddles climbing over the bottom of the basement windows, this afternoon I cleaned out the gutters and just now did some engineering work outside the windows in question.

Barb Royer's Incredible Cinnamon Pull-Aparts

I learned this recipe from my mother. It is incredibly delicious. If your mom didn't teach you this recipe, perhaps you need a word with her about adequate parenting.

INCREDIBLE CINNAMON PULL-APARTS

2 pkg exploding biscuits (e.g.)
1 cup sugar (or a little less)
2-3 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 lb butter

Adjust cinnamon and sugar to taste.

1. Pre-heat oven to temperature on biscuit package.
2. Melt butter in microwave.
3. Mix cinnamon and sugar.
4. Have your wife open the biscuits.
5. With a fork, dip biscuits in butter, then cinnamon & sugar (be generous with both), and place in a 9" round baking pan, glass if possible. Cram them in - if the pan seems spacious enough to hold all the biscuits, it is too large.
6. Sprinkle leftover cinnamon & sugar over biscuits (if there is much left, you weren't generous enough).
7. Bake. The package directions are a reasonable guideline on time, but stop while biscuits are still underdone. You want gooey. A glass pan will extend baking time significantly.
