definitely my new go-to dinner rolls "'Frigerator Rolls": docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Two freshly baked, golden-brown clusters of pull-apart dinner rolls, each formed into a circular cluster of 12 rolls (9 around the edges, 3 in the center), cooling on a wire rack on a dark granite kitchen countertop. In the background, an aloe plant and a cactus sit in pots by a window with white horizontal blinds.

A whole roasted turkey, golden-brown and trussed, resting on a white cutting board on a dark kitchen countertop. The background shows the kitchen window decorated with colorful plastic or glass dessert novelties, a paper towel holder, and a knife block.

A circular Oasis sand table displaying a complex, etched pattern of a turkey wearing a hat. The image is illuminated by a ring of LED lights around the edge, cycling through a rainbow spectrum (blue, green, yellow, orange, and red), making the lines of the design glow. The sand table sits on a dark wooden end table.

Damn, I guess we're only 99.5% prepared… looks like a last-minute trip to the store is in our future.
Joe, wearing dark shorts, a gray t-shirt, and a dark blue fitness watch on their wrist holds a box containing a roll of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil, clearly with only a little left on the roll. The person is standing in a kitchen with tiled floors, with dark wood cabinetry and a stainless steel dishwasher and stove visible in the background.

07:30 rolls shaped and started their proof (long as it's cold dough and enriched). Looking good.
Two metal pans filled with raw, shaped dough balls for rolls, covered with clear plastic wrap, rest on a dark, flour-dusted kitchen countertop. A metal bench scraper, a measuring scoop, and a roll of paper towels are visible on the counter. In the background, sunlight shines through a window decorated with colorful plastic or glass dessert items.

"Forgotten Days" (Edit) by Pallbearer youtube.com/watch?v=lsA0...
Still frame from the Pallbearer track "Forgotten Days." It is an expressionistic painting of a somber woman holding a yellow/golden baby, flanked by two translucent, ghostly figures resting their hands on her shoulders. The mood is heavy and melancholic.

Baker's pro tip: Use very cold water to wash floury and doughy dishes and utensils. This prevents the gluten from activating and makes cleaning much easier.
