I have Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds<\/em> as my phone ring tone. It is probably the only reggae song I know. <\/p>\n

I think it is reggae. <\/p>\n

I love it. It makes me happy to hear it even though I don’t particularly like talking on the phone.<\/p>\n

My “boss” teases me about it when he hears the ringtone in the background. He is actually from Jamaica and he’s black. And I am from Ohio and am the palest white. It’s funny.<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

The island, man (said mon in island speak).<\/p>\n

I love it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This morning I worked on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made Blood Orange Almond Cinnamon Rolls…from no knead Brioche. I also made a Brioche loaf.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The rolls. The Blood Orange juice turned the frosting pink instead of orange.<\/p>\n

I was inspired to make these rolls by Homesick Texan\u2019s Orange Pecan Cinnamon Rolls recipe<\/a>. But I had only a Blood Orange and of the nuts I have, almonds sounded best.<\/p>\n

Lisa of Homesick Texan was inspired to make her Orange Pecan Cinnamon Rolls based on those orange pecan rolls in a can. She loved them as a child. I loved them as a child. They would probably make me gag now.<\/p>\n

But inspiration is a good thing and although I trust Lisa’s recipes absolutely, I do love my no knead brioche dough and also wanted to make a brioche loaf hence my adapted version of orange pecan cinnamon rolls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The island as a work spot: it worked wonderfully. <\/p>\n

It gives me a better kitchen triangle. <\/p>\n

So far, I have not felt like it was “in the way”. Yes, I am adjusting how I move in the kitchen but I’m not bumping into it or thinking it is too big or in the wrong place…<\/p>\n

I love the island, mon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
