Sometimes I like to go out for a brisk 9.3-mile run, then come back to the condo and prepare brunch for all of my runner friends. After that, I like to spend about an hour hunched over the mess in my oven created by a naughty batch of Little Brown Jug Rolls. There's nothing like crouching at oven height after a nice long run, stabbing at burned, baked-on food with a steak knife. This may become an annual ritual: Run the Heart Mini, Host a brunch, Clean the oven.
Background: While baking, the LBJRs overflowed in the oven, resulting in a crusty brittle of cinnamon, brown sugar, butter, milk & vanilla pudding. I thought I was being really smart by doubling the recipe for the "goo" and baking a batch of 36 Jug Rolls - rather than the 20 called for in the recipe. I guess increasing the rolls by 80% requires commensurate baking pan capacity, which, sadly, I didn't account for. Lesson learned.
As my friend, Jody, put it, "At least your oven will smell nice." True.
