Time to make the donuts!

Sometimes I think I'm a little crazy. Ok, most of the time. Here's my latest hair-brained scheme:

.

Saturday I got this crazy whim to make a few extra dollars this Christmas season, I'd sell my dinner rolls to my friends for Thanksgiving. Crazy, I know! I crunched the numbers (thank you, Excel spreadsheet) and found out how much each batch and dozen costs down to the penny.

.

I knew I couldn't do it alone, and of course I'd want Kraig's culinary help anyway, so I ran the idea by him. He thought it sounded fun, the only problem was advertising and selling my rolls when Thanksgiving was 5 days away.

.

Well, I shouldn't have worried. I posted an event on Facebook, invited a few people in my area to join, and 12 hours later I had orders for 30 dozen rolls! Needless to say, I'm a little taken aback by such a positive response. I expected a few close friends to take pity on my little attempt at being an entrepreneur, buy a dozen each, and I'd make $10.

.

Thankfully a few of the orders are for Wednesday, but it looks like I'll be up extra early Thanksgiving morning making rolls :) I'm actually kind of excited.

So, here's my shameless plug: If any of my local blog readers need a dozen or two dinner rolls before Thanksgiving and know they just won't be satisfied with store bought Rhodes, send an order or two my way!
