Soup and Rolls

One of the things I like about the weather getting cold, is soup. I should qualify this by saying there aren't very many things on the list of what I like about cold weather so, soup makes the very short list. Today I made my first pot of broccoli cheese soup for the season. It is a great recipe that cooks in the crock pot all afternoon. I like to make rolls with this dish so we can dip it in the soup or eat with butter and honey. I got the rolls ready and the oven turned on when I realized that I needed to go pick Cora up from her friends house. I asked Elise to please take out the rolls when she heard the timer go off. I then drove away. During my drive I realized I never actually put the rolls in the oven or turned on the timer. I called home and asked Elise to do it for me. I told her I would wait on the phone while she did in case she had any questions (you know putting rolls in the oven and setting the timer can be hard, obviously I couldn't do it :). I waited and waited then Elise said "Mom, are you still there?". "Yes, I am. Did you put the rolls in the oven?" I asked. "Oh, I didn't know that I was supposed to." She replied. I have no idea why Elise thought I was still just sitting on the phone with her, but she did manage to get the rolls in and they were cooked and warm for dinner. I am so sorry that my absentmindedness seems to be hereditary. Poor kids. But wow, yummy soup and rolls.
