oooeerr Caro. Wish I didn't see your buns on a fast day

Oh my Oh my....you lot need locking up, my daughter is sitting next to me eating supper. Sainsburys baguette with cheese in. It's 8.20, Friday night and I am fasting. Lord help me.
Right where's my diet coke.

Bread. I have virtually given the stuff up but oh hot buttered toast (white bread of course) - but oh why do some refined carbs taste so yummy? Not to mention the nice cup of hot tea (a milky brew where I'm from 'oop North). Alas!

Right now, its Turkish delight, the commercial one with chocolate. I even have enough calories left over to have one, but the nearest open shop is 25 miles away.

I think they look good Caroline!

I made some too


Now what am I supposed to do with about 60 cinammon buns??

Share?

I never crave anything sweet on fasts, for me it's carbs, carbs and more carbs.
Honestly looking at those pics of the buns really doesn't bother me (I'm fasting today) - although I wish they did because I would much rather have a sweet tooth than crave carbs and that 'full up' feeling.
I have sushi on the brain but will wait until tomorrow..

I place my cinnamon buns in a zip lock bag and freeze them. I try and do it as soon as they are cold (i.e. take them out of the oven, leave them to cool, place a few in Tupperware type of box and immediately freeze the rest). This way I am not tempted to just keep on eating as I find cinnamon buns addictive.

To reheat I place buns in the oven at about 165 degrees C and warm them up for about 9 mins. They are nearly as yummy as fresh out of the oven. Naturally oven temperature and time will vary between ovens.

Thanks, that's just what I did, about 40 of them are in the freezer, the others have been eaten over the weekend by family and visitors and me of course. Think I need this fast day today!
