uh-oh bread!

It all started with an invitation to a friends house for Sunday dinner. "I'll bring rolls," I said. Later as I got ready to make them I realized that I didn't have enough whole wheat flour. It was stunned. How did I run out of flour? Hmmm... what can I do to improvise? We had a little white flour leftover from our son's birthday cake. OK, add that and see. Hmmm... it's still too sticky, what else can I do? Oatmeal! I ground up the oatmeal and used it as flour!

These turned out to be the best rolls I've ever made!
