Hot Cross Buns
There are several things that American children want to experience in their life, or at least for me this is true. I grew up hearing the nursery rhyme “Hot Cross Buns” and always wondered what they looked like and if they were as tasty as my young mind envisioned. Yesterday, I was at the corner market and looking through the reduced and day old items when I came across Hot Cross Buns!! I was so excited that I purchased them, walked quickly home, and proudly displayed them in front of Jane. I’m sure that she just attributed my behavior to some strange American me
ntal state as I’m sure she often does when I have these strange outbursts over seemingly ordinary and unexciting objects. I set the package on the counter and then stared at it. She asked if I was going to eat one and I replied with “I don’t know how!” Amused, Jane told be that she prefers to toast them on the grill and then put butter on them. I tried that but decided that I prefer to have them straight out of the package. Hot cross buns are very similar to cinnamon rolls but have more spices and are not as gooey. Yum!
