After what felt like a big social weekend for me & Adam (read:going out two nights in a row with new people--gasp!), we made sure today would be a lazy Saturday.
We ventured outside in the morning (my only time out of the apartment the entire day) to stock up on the necessary lounge-around goods at the Abu Dhabi Co-op Society: Play Station 3 and ingredients for my first-ever batch of
cinnamon buns.
It was a traditionally genderific day indeed: Adam killed virtual dudes (and some ladies) playing Modern Warfare for many hours, while I baked away in the kitchen. This evening, we feasted on shawarma and the most *insanely* delicious sugary things I think I've ever created. It was a good day.

| Got the word on the Pioneer Woman blog from an awesome new person I met dune bashing yesterday (more on the bashing of dunes to come). |
 |
| To be sure, the only healthy thing in the entire cinnamon bun recipe is the second item from the left, the soy milk. Everything else is pretty evil -- in the most delicious way, of course. |
 |
| Evil Exhibit A: Butter, and LOTS of it. |
 |
| We're waiting to get all brown and warm and ooey gooey, thankyouverymuch. |
 |
| The finished product. If only blogs had scratch & sniff functionality, I'd woo you all over to Abu Dhabi with the smell of this photo alone. |
 |
| Happiness is a warm cinnamon bun. |

| Cinnamon bun stats: 3 for me & Adam tonight, 2 for Ruth, 1 for Trinidad, 7 for Adam's Al Jazira coworkers, and 6 more in the fridge for... I need more friends, or I'm gonna be in trouble with all these buns around! |
Here's a link to Pioneer Woman's recipe for those of you who dare to dream the buttery, sweet dream of homemade cinnamon buns.
I can't believe you'd suggest that butter is evil. You're letting the terrorists win.
