It's pretty obvious by now that I have an insatiable sweet tooth, which  has only worsened by exposure at a young age to baking runny chocolate  chip cookies with my older sister, and climbing on kitchen cabinets with  my brother to find hidden boxes of Hershey's cookies & cream bars that my  mom bought from Costco Wholesale.  Not to mention, having Amanda Carr as your best  friend will lead you to ingestion of several tons of sugar in one  sitting.  But friends, I am not a person of self-indulgence.  There are still sweets that exist that I refuse to enjoy.  Marzipan,  fudge, hard candies, and gummies, I don't particularly care for.  I've never  crazed over Cinnabun either.  More than taste, I've always been amazed  at the smell.  If I could avoid the tedious act of putting things in my  mouth, and just "eat" with smells and taste (like if taste buds were in  my nose), I think it would be wonderful.  I watched a film called  "Perfume: The Story of A Murderer" in my European Film class by Tom  Twyker which told the story of a man such as this.  He was kind of crazy  though.  Well, let's be frank, he was a murderer.  I would be sane, ideally.  Also, I would not be a murderer.  Then again, if I could SMELL AND  TASTE FOOD ALL IN MY NOSE  I might be.
Anyway, long story short, I made cinnamon buns for the first time and  they came out marvelously :)  They're fun & easy to make, I can't  believe I didn't try it sooner!  Still, those mall workers make it look  worthwhile.  Perhaps I should apply to Cinnabun (is it Cinnab
on?  I think it is.)

Might be warming up to these ;)
