Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls, Etc

just to set this straight, if there's anyone out there who thinks red velvet is NOT sexy, just shut up and let me stop you right there. just...just stop....step back....and walk away. do you hear me? GTFO.

for those of you still with me....on top of the red velvetiness....throw some nutella in the mix. yes, insanity, i know. THEN....add some delightfully creamy cream cheese icing.....it's a sensory overload, i know, but it's totally worth it. every little bit.

i found these little gems on pinterest (of course) from yammie's noshery. don't let them fool you, they are super easy to make even for cinnamon rolls. i used two bowls (to mix everything, of course i needed one to let the dough rise and one for the frosting, but that's not important right now). wet ingredients in one, dry in the other. add the dry slowly, knead for a few minutes, then let it rise. when that's done, roll out, rub it down with some of that tasty nutella stuff, slice, roll, bake. i was totally late to work on sunday morning, but i shared with my co workers and that made up for it. never mind the part that i am a hard worker, that is not nearly as important as community food time.
if it was not completely inappropriate to put my face into this plate, i would have done it. also, if i wasn't late for work when i was taking this picture.☺ these were my (late) valentines gift to the husband. i am way too poor to buy anything, but i bake with love! that counts, right? ♥

we didn't really have an official "day" per say, but little stuff over the weekend. i had to work friday, so between training and other work, we got lunch. saturday between training and work, went to the auto expo to see all of the new cars (not that we need one, but it's fun to look at them all). finally, sunday, i worked again, but i made these, and some baked ziti after work for dinner, and had a "how i met your mother" marathon. almost caught up on season 9!
                
new corolla
subaru brz
    
challenger, stingray, beetle, camaro!


yes, i am obsessed with corolla, just because i have one, owned two. the second is an xrs, which means she's awesome and raises the response "mine's better" every time i drive past another corolla (i will probably elaborate on that another time). the subaru was just really fun, cute, and if i had $30k to drop on one i would probably have it. i just like pretty cars, muscle, exotics, classics. im such a dude. as for the beetle...have you seen the newer ones? they're kind of bad ass and more manly than the early 2000 models. i loved the hood stripes on this one, it kind of made me think of an evil herbie the love bug. #notshowingmyrealage

on another note, been hoping works will sort themselves out. it figures i get another job and suddenly my main job wants me to work. if i had the hours initially, i wouldn't be juggling three jobs! 
derp. i am pretty sure i lost a day this week thanks to that. maybe i can use that day to pack. i am supposed to look at the new apartment in about 10 minutes.

or apparently tomorrow. it is way too cold out. the sun isn't too bad, though. i wish it was spring or summer, although we are supposed to get rain later this week? i'm pretty sure i live in the only place in the world that can experience all four seasons in a week. thanks, new york! ☼

 so, as far as i can tell, tuesday if anyone is around, i'll be at home trying to pack my things. hopefully going to look at the apartment. i have no idea what's going on. i guess i will leave it at that for now. thanks for reading!
