My fellow Chicagoans will recognize the name... Ann Sather's Cinnamon Rolls https://www.chicagotribune.com/2004/01/11/on-a-roll-56/ ANN SATHER’S CINNAMON ROLLS Makes 12 rolls 1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees) 1 cup milk, scalded, cooled 1/4 cup (2 ounces) butter, melted 1/3 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter, room temperature 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Powdered sugar glaze, optional, recipe follows In a large bowl, stir the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar into the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in milk, melted butter, 1/3 cup sugar, salt and 1 cup flour. Beat with a spoon or an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually stir in 11/2 cups flour, keeping the dough smooth. If the dough is still moist, stir in 1 tablespoon flour at a time to make a soft dough. Cover with a dry cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Divide the raised dough in half. On a lightly oiled board, roll out (with a lightly floured rolling pin) and stretch 1 piece of dough to make a 12-by-8-inch rectangle. Spread 2 tablespoons of the soft butter over the top of the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Beginning on the long side, roll up tightly, jelly-roll fashion. Repeat with remaining dough. Cut the dough into 2-inch slices. Place on greased and floured baking sheets. Let the dough rise (in a warm place) until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Take the baking sheets out of the oven and place the cinnamon rolls on a wire rack to cool. Top rolls with a sugar glaze immediately, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. POWDERED SUGAR ICING Makes 1/2 cup 1 cup sifted powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon milk, plus additional as needed Combine sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl. Stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until icing is loose enough to drizzle.

Impeachment? Does he have a way to get the Senate to vote for impeachment?

A friend is on a river cruise. They are in Dusseldorf. He said they have not run aground, but they have had to bus around parts where the water was low.

@AndyD Very beautiful house and location. Isn't all that far from Glasgow--as a crow flies, but 3 hours one way due to waterways. $10.5K/month for 30 years. Yikes.

@CHAS Cool.

At least give him that cognitive test that Trump always says he aces.

Not sure I should be surprised. I thought it's well established that sleep duration is not the same as sleep quality. There has got to be better comparisons than to sleep duration.

He can afford them now

That’s great!

In New York harbor it’s about more than shells. Oyster farming has come back in a big way. . It’s partly a method of having oysters clean the water, but oysters were a significant food source here decades ago.
