dough boys and girls

one day we were talking and we remembered doughboys. suddenly i wanted doughboys. i was going to make buns to go with our dinner but it was taking so long so i decided to save the dough for doughboys. the next morning i forgot all about making them for breakfast and it wasn't until i got home after my big shop and saw mom who was very tired from trying to get the house ready to sell making supper for the evans and us (roast chicken) and cutting the hard bits off of my dough that i remembered. mom was iffy about me making them because she was so tired and she was worried that there would be a mess. but i just started putting the cheese in the dough while i stood there talking to her. the roses came in the middle of this process. they distracted mom for a good while with talk of the house. brother rose was going to help mom by cutting the bad parts off the potatoes for her but she made a little kid noise and took the potatoes and knife away from him. "he doesn't know the way i want it!" she told me when i protested. when she's tired she's even more of a control freak in the kitchen. i told this to brother rose. i was ready to fry the dough boys (when i say dough boy i'm not talking about dough as a child or any of his sons. i'm talking about real bread dough with cheese in he middle and deepfried) i eased mom into it by saying gently "ok, i don't want you to be upset but i'm going to make these now." she took it well and i wasn't messy at all. i made the doughboys into what we used to call 'flukes' by putting seasoning salt on them. sooooo goodie good! i gave some to mom and the roses but i needed a sibling so i called sarah and had her come down to enjoy the flukes with me. she brought kyle and that was acceptable because kyle enjoyed a good fluke. tracy woke up and had some too and layne got off work in time for a fluke or two as well. my only regret when it came to the flukes was that i forgot to save some for jordan. i should make some flukes and mail them to martha. flukes are a blast from the past. i remember being so excited when mom would make them for breakfast. it was a really good day if we got to take some leftovers in our lunch to school. just as i was done making the flukes the roses were ready to take pictures of our house for advertizment sake. brother rose is mom and dad's "gentleman realitor" haha. the roses are mom and dad's new best friend. they do a lot together. A LOT. the pictures made me see our house from outsider's eyes and it looked pretty darn good.
