The editors of the Chronicle have been very, very busy. In addition to their paying job, they have been wracking their bird brains to come up with entertaining content for the ‘paper’.
Yesterday, Flynn made sweet rolls, this time with homemade tropical fruit and coconut filling. Flynn has finally nailed down the recipe for the dough, which has only taken about 6 tries. To let you in on the secret: it’s Fleishman’s recipe, straight off their website. Don’t tell anyone. Actually, to bored you to tears, the difficulty in making yeasted sweet rolls lies not in the actual recipe, but in the technical aspect. Knead time, proof accuracy, and then rolling technique. Because it takes two hands, one must drink from a straw while kneading, then wait an hour to proof, which means more cocktails, so by the time one gets to rolling… well, not so easy. Check out these bad boys…
Ollie has been working on his boat. Why an otter needs a boat, is beyond Flynn, but it keeps Ollie out of trouble. Of course, once the boat is on the water, the authorities have no chance of catching him. Speaking of authorities, the closure of the beaches, and therefore the nix on clamming has Ollie cranky. How many days in a row can an otter be expected to eat Papa Murphy’s? And, since Flynn keeps giving away the baked goods…
A bird and an otter walk into a bar. No, no, they don’t. #socialdistancing
