Melt-in-the-mouth Cinnamon Rolls

I've caught the baking bug. I've been dying to try my hand at baking bread and finally worked up the courage this weekend. Its convenient since I've had this craving for cinnamon rolls for ages but have been tragically disappointed with what I've bought from pastry shops here.

I stumbled upon this amazing recipe on The Pioneer Woman. The steps were incredibly easy to follow which made the entire process much less daunting, and the results- pure deliciousness! My husband went out for a cricket match early Saturday morning and returned to freshly baked cinnamon rolls which he happily wolfed down. He claims they are the best he's eaten so Thanks Ree of Pioneer Woman!  

You can find the recipe for these yummy cinnamon rolls here. I halved all the quantities mentioned in Ree's recipe and made them without the frosting because I didn't want to be too sinful, but I'm definately going to try the frosting next time round.

Yallingup Residence, Western Australia

It was love at first sight when I chanced upon this beautiful house designed by Wright Feldhusen Architects of Australia. This building, with its crisp, clean lines, is predominantly modernist in design. I love the stone wall that makes up the lower part of the structure. This wall gives such character to the house and forms an amazing feature element that connects the building with the land. The stoic solidity of this massive wall contrasts so well with the glazed upper structure that rests atop it. There is a beautiful balance of solidity and transparency in this house, with the living and dining areas forming part of a large glazed pavilion that captures the stunning valley views that the setting has to offer.
