I love those rolls, April Lyn! We call them Portuguese sweet bread in Hawaii.

Nathaly wrote: "Not G rated. lol"

Yeah. I probably couldn't classify it as PG13 even. I don't even call it my embarrassing moment - it's my mortifying, humiliating, I thought I would die on the spot moment. I've only told a handful of people, ever.

Kara wrote: "I love those rolls, April Lyn! We call them Portuguese sweet bread in Hawaii."

I know, right. I once had a project at work that I had to finish by a certain deadline, so rather than stop for lunch I ate NINE rolls in one sitting (they were in my snack drawer). I ended up rather sick. Not a great idea.

Please tell me your favorite book by her Tearsa! I want to read her stuff but don't know where to start. Is The Bell Jar good? I've heard great things about that book, but it isn't poetry is it? I'm a poetry nerd so I want to get into some of these popular poets! haha, sorry for the random little rant there
