Feels pretty alright too. Can I get the recipe for that bread?
Use whatever enriched dough you usually use (think cinnamon roll or honey buns) separate into 3 sections and roll out long and thin.

Melt white chocolate and butter to a thick texture.

Soaked craisins

Grated orange peel, butter, and holiday spices.

Roll out 3 long and thin dough sections. Some dough recipes will be enough to make two loaves, so just double this step. So, 3 strips 3x12/14. Fill each one with separate mixture. Pinch strands together at top and roll under. Braid carefully. Tuck ends. Press remaining craisins in the divets. Brush with egg white. Cook at 325 until brown slightly brown. Outside should have a little crisp, but inside should be soft. A skewer will come out clean. I believe about 45 mins, but I trust my nose and bounce more than a timer when it comes to bread.

Sorry if that isn’t exact enough I kinda go by feel when cooking most things. So my recipes get a little wonky to type.

No coffee for me this morning, ultrasound at 9 am--that is a long time with no coffee or water! I will be a crazy person by 10 am. Last minute returns today since we will be in a larger city, lol. Then driving back as fast as we can to the homestead. Enjoy the day today. Supposed to be above average here the next couple days.

Good morning Frankie, Valentine, Gia and Cecilia! Happy family day!
Good Morning! Slept a full 7 hours last night! And now I can’t remember yesterday for crap. Y’all were right. I was wrong. What was the reason I don’t want any more kids? LOL! Man they are cute. They are hoping to let me hold Francisco next week sometime. His lungs should be strong enough for it. I need earplugs to hear myself think!

And THIS. This makes it hard not to just scoop him up and hold him. All he wants is comfort. I feel terrible depriving him that.

His sisters incubator is so much warmer than his. She would catch a chill if they were in there together. 😕 Honestly I wouldn’t be mad if she started crying. Just remind him she’s there you know?
