Decided the 70s Tomorrow People wasn't fitting in with the theme of more adult Sci-Fi, so I removed it from the Saturday Sci-Fi Theater line up. Decided to replace it witht he Battlestar Galactica revival. I forgot how much I hated that shakey-cam combat footage. The music more than makes up for it, though.

10PM: Babylon 5
11PM: Star Trek: The Next Generation
12PM: Battlestar Galactica (Reboot)

Woke up with another song in my head that's playing on repeat in my brain. But at least they're good songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viaTT859Yk0

A nice big VR theater screen is quickly becoming my favorite way to watch TV and movies.

This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: West Virginia Pizza Rolls

How can something this easy be so tasty? I love it when something that isn't all that fancy pants cooks up into fancy pants.
I was expecting something like a savory jelly roll, but instead it's more of a really soft Hot Pocket. I'm sure this could be rearranged to make something like ham and cheese rolls or maybe full on pizza rolls.

The instructions call for frozen bread roll dough, but I wasn't able to find it at the two grocery stores in town. Instead I went with croissant sheets and re-kneaded them into rolls. Worked just as well.

Funny story: I made six scones and rolls, and really only needed five. Oh, darn. Guess I know what's for dinner.

# West Virginia Pepperoni Rolls
Southern Living
18.0 rolls

48.0 ounces frozen dinner rolls
4.0 ounces pepperoni slices
8.0 oz thinly sliced mozzerella
4.0 tbsp salted butter (melted)
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.125 tsp salt

1 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
2 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3 - Working in batches as needed, pat or roll each dough ball on a large piece of wax or parchment paper into a 4 1/4- to 4 1/2-inch round. (Try not to flour dough surface; it could keep dough from sealing.)
4 - Place 2 pepperoni slices in middle of each dough round.
5 - Tear cheese into pieces, and arrange evenly over pepperoni.
6 - Roll up dough jellyroll style; pinch ends and seams well to seal.
7 - Arrange dough, seam side down, 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
8 - Brush half of the butter evenly over rolls.
9 - Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
10 - Stir together garlic powder, oregano, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl until combined. Immediately brush butter mixture evenly over warm rolls.

This Week's Bread: Authentic British Scones.

This time I used a cookie cutter and re-folded the dough to try and get six total. Next time I make these I'll use a smaller size for better consistency.

Happy 4/20 to all who celebrate.
