Oh no... this tastes like SHOUT!

Tomorrow Sheri has her Relief Society Christmas dinner. We have been working hard to get everything ready for it.

Yesterday after Church, Lillian, Sheri, and I started working on Pumpkin rolls. We needed to make enough rolls for dessert for 120 Sisters. So, we figured, 10 cookie sheet sized rolls, 15 slices per roll, would be 150 servings - taking into account scrap, damage, and personal consumption, we should end up just right. One of the steps in making Pumpkin rolls, is to lay the pumpkin cake layer on a dish towel that is sprinkled with powdered sugar, then roll it up to cool.

After finishing our sixth or seventh roll, we unrolled one that had cooled to add the cream cheese frosting layer - and because we had taken into account the "personal consumption" factor, we could each take a nice little sample - sadly, much coughing, spitting, and even some mild profanity ensued...

Turns out that when you roll the Pumpkin cake layer in a freshly washed and dried dish cloth, the roll takes on the flavor of the dish cloth. Nothing like biting into a freshly baked pumpkin roll, only to have some laundry detergent bite ya back... Personally, I didn't think Fresh Scent Gain tastes that bad... it was kinda like eating pumpkin cake in a bright freshly scented spring meadow...

Unfortunately, after investing six hours in the project, we ended up just scrapping the whole thing. This is one of those moments that you know you will look back on and laugh, but that really wasn't funny while it was happening... Oh well!

Costco cheesecake to the rescue!
