Awesome Recipe
For the dough
1 russet (baking) potato (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
1 envelope (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 to 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
3/4 cup firm packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
print a shopping list for this recipe
preparation
Make the dough:
In a small saucepan combine the potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, with enough water to cover it by 1 inch and simmer it, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is very tender. Drain the potato well, force it through a ricer into a bowl, and stir in 2 tablespoons of the water. In a small bowl proof the yeast in the remaining 1/2 cup water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. In a large bowl stir together well the yeast mixture, the mashed potato, the sugar, the butter, the egg, and the salt, add 2 1/2 cups of the flour, and stir the dough until it is combined well. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes, adding as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as is necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough. Transfer the dough to a buttered large bowl, turning it to coat it with the butter, let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until it is double in bulk, and punch it down. The dough may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Bring the dough to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Press the dough evenly in a buttered 13- by 9-inch baking pan and let it rise, covered with a kitchen towel, in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it is puffed. Make indentations all over the top of the dough with your thumb and scatter the butter over the dough. In a small bowl stir together the brown sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is dark brown and cooked through. Let the cake cool for 5 minutes and cut it into squares.

Good Morning
Hot and humid again here today ... 24 hrs w.out breaking down ,... This is so hard When I was little I thought my Mom would live forever and she would always be there... So hard .. She was a colorful person and always lived life to the fullest .. Never worried about what others thought ... but was often hurt by their words.. I guess no one really understood her she was hurting inside all she wanted was to be loved by someone and not made to feel guilty ..or stupid .. No one really ever saw that side of her ... I did and not that she wanted me to .. When Joe passed she was heart broken and asked who will love me like that again ... I love my Mom and I miss her something awful and I will always treasure the life I had with her ,, the good the bad and the ugly .. She always loved me and never judged .. Be at peace Mom I will take care of it all like I always did .. Love you Mom

Good Morning
How is everyone ? We are good so far...lol
I am going to be calling the school soon to get Mike's issues all set up and hopefully I can get the school to pay for Night School ... There is a program that can help and I am going to try .. everything is salary based and not what I bring home but what I gross < which is no where near what I bring home >
Then Amanda has a Dr Appt today with her Psychiatrist so she can get on the right meds to help her as well. Alot going on here this week but I will be good.. hoping to make a Library run today as well.
Weather is OK here and going to get a little cooler tomorrow and some places may see frost this week... I am ready for cooler days and nights
The dog are getting restless and more hyper than normal... I think they feel all the stress here ... We will be fine just need some Steve and Michelle time..
Have a awesome day ...
