When life gives you lemons.........

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or yet, better put: When you're husband unplugs the freezer and the costco size bag of Rhodes Rolls defrosts and rises........make rolls, bread, pretzels, cheesey bread wheel.

Yes, this is why the Rex's don't camp. On the way up camping JD gave the kids their own little bottle of chocolate milk. What a good dad, right? Sure. Fast forward to the day we are leaving to go home from our camping trip. We open the door to the van that has been sitting in the 90 degree weather for 3 days and about get knocked over from the smell.

One of my little darlings spilled that chocolate milk 3 days prior and didn't bother to 1- clean it up or 2- tell some one so that it could be cleaned up. The milk had sour and into the carpet and was curdled down in the hole that the bucket seats fits into. Disgusting mess that we cleaned as best we could and then tried to hold our breath for the 3 hour ride home.

Once home, my loving and kind husband hosed down the van floor and got the shop vac out and sucked it out. The smell is finally going away.

OK so we arrived home on Monday. Fast forward to Wed. I sent the kids out to get something out of the big freezer. I hear yelling so I go investigate. The freezer is leaking water. It had been unplugged by the kind husband when he plugged in the shop vac and never plugged back in. Which brings us full circle back to the rolls. So, Wed afternoon, I made,3 dozen rolls, a loaf of bread, pretzels, and a big intalian cheesey bread wheel.
