Hello Sunday: Cinnamon rolls... for Jesus.

I love breakfast on the ship, and it's not just because I love breakfast food. (And I do love breakfast food.) But I love breakfast here even more because I usually don’t have to serve it. When I first came to the ship, I thought I’d have to be up at the crack of dawn to make eggs and French toast and bacon and whatnot. But thankfully (very very thankfully), the dining room staff sets out things we don’t have to cook—cereals, oatmeal, rolls, etc.

On Sundays, however, we start work at 6 AM to cook a “hot” breakfast. (It's about half past eight and I just finished a breakfast shift as I'm writing this, in fact.) Usually it’s just eggs and some kind of meat (bacon, corned beef hash, sausages), but a couple of weekends ago, we decided to do cinnamon rolls as well, as a nice extra for the crew. Cinnamon rolls take a fair amount of prep work, and obviously they have to have time to bake, so we started the night before. Steph made the dough and filling, and some of the 8/10 berth girls were amazing enough to spend their Saturday night making over 600 cinnamon rolls with us. (Thanks Bethany for all the pictures.)

Hard at work.

And the finished product... 600 cinnamon rolls! I woke up on Sunday morning to find this picture posted up in the dining hall with "Cinnamon rolls for Jesus" as the caption. From left to right: Rachael, Trina, me, Steph, Aimee, Janina, Bethany (with Caitlin missing).

Ham it up! :)
