Our Fourth of July Buns Plus Some

I have not been good about blogging with my new job. Now that Ryan and I have the same work schedule (gasp, I thought the day would never come) I find myself wanting to spend time with him instead of being on my computer. Due to this lack of blogging I have not shared the story of our Fourth of July buns! Remember how I said that we were going to be cooking buffalo burgers and I hoped that we could find buns that fit with our rule? Well, there were no buns. We went to several stores including Whole Foods and apparently all buns require salt. SO, we decided to make our own buns! I found a recipe, mixed some ingredients, let the dough rise, and put the buns in the oven! We 1/3rd the recipe because we didn't want the 24 buns that the original recipe produced. Because of this change I did not know how big of dough balls to form because it just said "form 24 balls." I was left to guesstamation and if you know me then you know that I am the world's worst approximator (Ryan just informed me I am making up words left and right but it's not my fault there aren't words to describe what I need to rely to you all!). So, please see the pictures below to see our finished product. They might have been tiny but damn they were good!!!!






Last night we grilled steak and finished it on the stovetop by lighting some Jack on fire. I didn't get the most impressive pictures but any cooking involving lighting the food on fire I must document.
