How a woman juggles behind the closed curtain...

Hi friends,

This is not about the recipe of bread rolls. You can search hundreds of better ones on web. This is about how to juggle.

I always think veteran house wives are really good project managers. I am hardly a house wife but I, too, juggle lots of things at home.

As you know I get up early even in weekends. When I get up, I normally go to the kitchen to make a cup of green tea. Today, I noticed I didn’t have bread or rice. Very bad stock management but thankfully, I have got them.

After checking the ingredients, I had a shower, washed hair, left conditioner on hair and wore a shower cap. After washing my face, I applied Environ’s exfoliating masque and left it on. (Refer to my old post.)

Wearing a shower cap and white face masque, I started making dough for bread rolls. Comical yet bit scary scene to witness. You never know what your neighbours are doing behind the closed curtains…

When the dough becomes like this, it is time for me to cover it with a cling film and leave it for 40 minutes. 

It is also time to rinse my hair and rinse off the masque. After that, I applied Weleda's body oils (both white birch and pomegranate) and L’Oreal’s Extraordinary Hair Oil and leave it. (Please refer to my old post.)

Whilst waiting for the dough, I put laundry in a washing machine and changed bed lines.
Applied sweet almond oils to massage nails and fingers whilst waiting for the dough and laundry. After that, wearing rubber gloves to do washing up.

By the time, I finished washing up, the dough was ready. Quickly made rolls. 

Cover them with lightly moistured kitchen towels and leave for 10 minutes.

Now time for a cup of tea. (with soya milk.)

After finishing a cup of tea, I made flower shape rolls like these using kitchen scissors and left them in a warm oven (40 degree C) for 40 minutes. 

Whilst waiting, I took laundry from the washing machine and hung them to dry and loaded the bed linens for the 2nd drum. Also, about time to finish my fair.

Bit of reading to prepare for an exam. This book works far better than sleeping pills…

When the dough becomes 1.5 times bigger, brush them with egg and bake them in the oven (200 degree C) for 15 minutes.

Voila! Lovely bread rolls. Washing up, laundry, hair, body and face treatment and bit of reading done at the same time.
