cinnabons

so, this one time i went to the airport when i was little to drop my mom and sister off. my sister was going to a big national champion swim meet. i was supposed to go, but i had a bad ear infection, so my pediatrician said flying might rupture my eardrum. the eardrum ruptured anyways, but i wasnt able to fly. at the airport, i got a cinnabon. i was a meticulous child and i ate the bun from the outside in, saving the inside for last because it is the most delicious. walking through the airport (pre 9-11, so we were still allowed to go as far as the gate) by dad reached down and chomped the last tiny center bit of my delicious bun-- that i had been saving. it's been nearly 20 years since the incident and i am still traumatized by it, and now that im vegan i never get to eat cinnamon rolls.

ive just discovered vegan yum yum and i am blown away by her recipes. here is hers for her cinna-bunz which she swearing are spitting images of the kind my dad traumatized me with as a child. the recipe is really involved, and i havent tried them yet, but im hoping to be able to simply the recipe and repost my modified version in the future.

on a similar but unrelated note: weird al is vegan?

and i wish i still believed my friend when he told me dunkin donuts are vegan. i wish the nutrition info on dunkin donuts' website was still unavailable. i wish the midwest had a delicious vegan bakery so i could eat donuts comfortably and without shame or abdominal discomfort.
