Off to Grandmother's House We Go!

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are having a great week. With all the planning that goes into preparing a large dinner I know you are very busy.
But please take some time and enjoy a Butterscotch Roll and a cup of hot chocolate for a minute or two.
Off to Grandmother's house we go!
Oh!

That's me.  I'm the Grandmother and I off to have a Thanksgiving Feast with the children and grandchildren. But before we go I thought I would bake a batch of Butterscotch rolls. Sweetheart and I are going to have a cup of hot chocolate and a sweet butterscotch roll we start to pack the car.  Oh! Please don't think I get away without doing something on Thanksgiving Day.  I love bringing goodies and a few surprises to my children and grandchildren, since we don't get together very often.
You know how busy young adults are these days.  They are both working and my two granddaughters are busy with collage and senior year in high school.  They are so adorable.

Now for the Butterscotch Rolls.

BUTTERSCOTCH ROLLS

Make Cinnamon Rolls as above-EXCEPT coat the baking dish with

1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed) - sprinkle on melted butter
1 tbsp. corn syrup or water
1/2 cup nuts
Place 1" slices  on top of Butterscotch mixture
Bake.

Immediately turn upside down on a large tray. Let pan stay over rolls a minute so butterscotch runs down over them.

Yum!!!

I have moved the buffet table next to the back window for the winter.  I hope to take more photos with the natural light that comes into the house from these windows.

Poor St. Patrick is just so beat up from the rainy weather.  I found just three blooms.
 Exactly what I needed for this Tablescape. 



A cup of nice hot chocolate is going to warm us up for the trip.  We only travel about 60 miles and the walnut orchards are so beautiful this time of the year.
The white cups are from the thrift store and I only have two.



The little tea pots were a gift from a friend.  She knows I love tea and gave me two little pots.
I'm sure my grand girls would love to use them also.



The yellow plates I found a Tues Morning.  They were very inexpensive.  Perfect plate for butterscotch cinnamon rolls.

The flatware is our everyday and the pottery creamer was a thrifty find.
Napkins are my standard monogrammed white linen and the yellow napkin rings are from the thrift store.

Well, I'm off to visit the children. 
and
I'm happy you stopped by to say hello.
