Patti43 just gave me a great theme for our thread. Today is Canada Day, though a lot of celebrations will be on the weekend. Then of course it will soon be July 4th for the States. What delicious goodies are everybody going to make?

When I made my rolls yesterday, I dug out my recipe from 30 years ago. I used to make them periodically and they would literally turn out "every other" time. Looking at the recipe, I didn't think I should dump everything together like it suggested, so rose the yeast (not sure what you call it) in just the warm water and a bit of sugar. Anyway here it is, as written, back then. Plain Quick Buns 1/2 cup milk 4 1/2 cups sifted flour 3/4 cup warm water 3 tbsp melted shortening (I used butter) 1 pkg yeast (I used 2 1/4 tsp) 1 1/2 tsp salt 4 tbsp sugar 1 egg, well-beaten Mix milk, water, sugar, salt and sugar. Add yeast according to directions. Add melted shortening and egg. Add flour and knead well. Shape into ball and put in covered bowl and let rise until double. Make into rolls, let rise until double and bake in moderate oven for 15-20 minutes. I wasn't even sure how to make into rolls....do I knead each one again? I used my pastry scraper to cut the dough into eighths and rolled each piece into a ball. Don't know if I should have done anything else to it. I'm going to brush with melted butter next time, as per Nicole's instructions.

This will feed a family of 4 or more for under $10--I think my mother made up the recipe. It sounds weird, but it sure is good! FRIED SPAGHETTI 1 lb. spaghetti, broken into pieces and cooked 6-8 slices of bacon 1 onion, chopped Ketchup Salt/Pepper While spaghetti is cooking, cook bacon. Removed from skillet and add the onion to the bacon drippings (you may have to drain some of the grease but not all). Drain spaghetti, add to onion in pan and stir to mix well. Add ketchup, salt and pepper and heat through.

I have the urge to make flank steak. I never have, and honestly have never seen it in my grocery stores. I'm going to be looking for it specifically and try it on my cast-iron grill. Grilled Marinated Flank Steak 2 lb flank steak 1/3 cup olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tbsp red wine vinegar 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup honey 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper Score the meat across the grain. Combine the marinade ingredients. Place steak in ziploc bag, pour marinade over, coating the steak well. Chill and marinade at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Oil the grill and heat over high heat. Remove steak from marinade and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper on both sides, which will help form a savoury crust. Grill 4-6 minutes on each side. Remove and cover with foil and let rest 10 minutes. Slice very thinly in diagonal slices across the grain. If you like, you can bring the marinade to a boil and simmer for several minutes and serve alongside.

I made this salad last weekend and Harry called me a gourmet cook--haha! Still have dressing leftover, so I'm repeating this weekend with a steak on the grill and corn on the cob. I didn't have wonton wrappers and didn't want the peppers or bacon. The almonds are really good!

STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD

Dressing:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup strawberry jam (I used Smuckers sugar-free)

2 or 3 strips each of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers
1 (10 oz.) bag spinach (I used spring mix already cut up)
1 head leaf lettuce (didn't use this)
2 cups strawberry slices
1/2 red onion, sliced into rings
3 Tblsp. sugar
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 lb. bacon, chopped (didn't use this but I may next time)
Wonton wrappers, cut into strips (didn't use this)

SautÃ© 3 Tblsp. sugar with almonds in a skillet until toasted. Fry wonton strips in oil until golden. Fry bacon and drain. Set aside. Combine dressing ingredients in blender container. Blend until combined. Combine salad ingredients. Dress and top with bacon, toasted almonds, and wonton strips.

I decided to make Pavlova for dessert. It's nice and light. Nicole--thanks for posting your cookie recipe. I've never made cookies that called for water before, but I'll give it a go!

PAVLOVA WITH BERRIES (Meg Kat blog)

4 egg whites
1 C sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tso vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
Whipped cream - Berries macerated in a little sugar

Preheat oven to 300 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. I like to use an 8ÂÂ or 9ÂÂ cake pan and pencil to trace a simple round outline as a guide for pouring the meringue.
In a large (and very clean) mixing bowl, whip egg whites until you have firm peaks. Slowly add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Now mix in the cornstarch, vanilla, and vinegar.

Pour mixture into the center of the circle and gently spread with a spatula until itÂfs 1ÂÂ or 2ÂÂ short of reaching the line (it will spread out more while baking). Bake for 1 hour in a preheated oven then turn off the heat and leave in the oven until it has cooled. Top individual slices with whipped cream and macerated strawberries and blueberries.

patti43.....I was a volunteer "trail builder" yesterday. One of the trail builders gave me the recipe she had made up herself. :0) When we finished carrying small boulders ALL day, we hiked down and they layed out a feast! Then I went home & made cookies! :0) A perfect day!

Gee Nicole, what do you do for fun?? LOL! Call me a wimp, but I don't think I would've even made it home, much less been able to stay awake long enough to make cookies.
