parker house rolls

I brought in my book of torn out recipes to work for my friend Skye to pick out a recipe.

She chose Parker House Rolls.

I had torn it out of a Bon Appetit Issue not too long ago.

I don't really know what Parker House rolls are.
Some kind of dinner roll I assume.

There seemed to be some kind of folding technique with the dough at the end that we could figure out if we got quite right.

It was our first time baking together outside of work. 
Really one of our first times hanging out outside of work. 

We we first met I didn't think this would happen.
I work at 3 in the morning everyday.
I am a total grump when other people try to talk to me when they stroll in later. I fully admit that.
Lack of sleep, too much coffee, frustrated having to work alone for 4 hours. I admit it, I wouldn't want to talk to me at work.
So when ultra friendly, inquisitive Skye would always try to talk to me, it would generally be met with short answers or just a blank stare. 
It takes me a while to warm up to people.

So not the best start to a friendship.
So after a few months of this, my harsh blunt personality and her talkative 'kittens and bunnies' personality somehow began to get along more.

She came to my house and we baked and I took photos.

Finally someones hands to be in the photos. 

It was a good day.

I do not have a tripod.

Recipe From Bon Appeit.
