Sorry all I have is the Sinbun Recipe ( Cinnamon Bunns or Sticky Bunns ) Lous Cinnamon Buns ------ SS Pan ,9 ½ in by 12 in by 2 ½ in deep Or Pyrex baking dish 3/4 stick of butter and 1 tablesp. Of Vegetable oil Pancake syrup , Brown Sugar and a little granulated sugar Cinnamon and Raisins Melt the butter in the pan and let it cool ( put it in the refrig. a few minutes) Level it across the pan and back into the refrig to harden. Take it out and Sprinkle very little oil and move it around with the back of a spoon. Dribble some pancake syrup all around the pan , then a little gran. Sugar Then lay in some brown sugar . Dont be chincey , leave some lumps. Last sprinkle ( good bit ) of Cinnamon and Raisins. You can also add some walnuts, If you want to. If you dont want to , dont do it but dont blame me , if you didnt Do and wish you had done , etc. Take half + of the recipe of the Braided Bread dough and roll it out to about 3/16 in thick ( 3 pennies ) You can do the dough in 2 pieces if it is easier. Try to roll them out to at least 16 in long. x 12 in. Sprinkle some pancake syrup, Sugar and cinnamon on the dough , then some raisins. Roll the dough up loosely, Making a 12 in. long Roll and cut into 1 in. pieces. Mark the roll ,at half way and half again before cutting., into 8 pieces. Do the same to the other piece of dough Place these pieces in the pan that you prepared , leaving spaces in between , because the dough will grow. Push them around with your fingers, to fill the pan evenly. When the dough is doubled , bake in a 320 degree oven , on a shelf near the top, for about 25 to 35 minutes or golden brown. You can Baste , with an egg milk mix, while baking. When it is removed from the oven , place a piece of aluminum foil over it and a large cutting board or cookie tin and then flip it over and remove the pan. If some of the goodies stay in the pan take them out right away and patch the Buns while the goo is still hot. WARNING !!!! Get away from them until they cool. !!!!!!!! You will burn your lips Now you can see if you used enough brown sugar and gooey stuff. . Braided Bread Everyone has their own way to do this, which is better. But! I like to cook and bake using easier ways, long as the end results are the same. I've used this recipe since I got out of the Army, a very long time ago and converted it from Army Baking (Large amounts )to Home Baking. It wasn't easy going from 4 Quarts to 4 cups , etc. But I worked it out. I got the results that I wanted and I'm passing it on to everyone . Here is the recipe: Luigis - - - Braided, Plaited Bread or Dough for Cinnamon Buns , Bagels, Etc. 2 cups of milk, (warm ) - - Sometimes I sub Powdered Milk 1 1/3 cup of Sugar 3 large eggs- beaten (save ½ egg w. a little milk for basting ) 1 tablesp.+ of Vanilla - - ½ cup + of oil - - ½ teasp. Salt 2 packs of Fleischmans Active dry yeast AP Flour - 3 cups to start ( probably about 6 total ) enough to knead into a soft ball that doesnt stick to your hands. I now substitute a cup of WW Flour. Makes it more tender. Stir the yeast in a 1/3 cup of warm water w. ½ spoon of sugar, to test it for raising. In a large mixing bowl, or (KA mixer) place the warm milk ( not hot ) add the sugar ,vanilla , salt & eggs Beat until the sugar is dissolved and add the Yeast and mix well. Add 1 cup of WW flour and 3 cups of AP flour and mix with mixer a few minutes. Add flour until you make a " soft " Ball of dough that doesnt stick to your hands. Dont make it too stiff , try to keep it a "soft dough." On the Work Top, Sprinkle some flour under the ball and Knead it until smooth. Place it in a large bowl, Rub some oil on top. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm spot ( until double.) I usually turn my oven on for a few minutes to warm and shut it. Place a pan of hot water on the bottom shelf. Then place the dough bowl in the oven to rise. When ( doubled ) deflate and put it out of the bowl onto a floured worktop. Punch it down and knead the dough again. Then cut into 2 pieces ( 2 loaves ). Divide each piece into 3. Roll each of these 3 pieces into the shape of a sweet potato ( about 12 in long ). With the basting ( egg ) mixture and wet the tips of the 3 pieces and stick them together at one end . Then spread the other end the shape of an arrow While keeping the stuck ends down and away from you , twist each piece clockwise about 8 times and lay them down so you can Platt or Braid them and stick the other ends together There are other ways to Braid ( 6 Strands ) but I take the fast easy way to do things. Place the 2 shaped loaves on lightly oiled cookie tins, or in loaf pans. Preheat the oven to 400 deg. Spray some Pam on the loaves or brush with oil. This will keep them from drying while raising. When doubled in size (about 20 min.) place in the oven , top shelf and bake until slightly tan. Baste them with the egg mix and rotate them back into the oven and ( Turn temperature down to 325 deg.) Baste again when they are a dark tan. Cook till a rich brown, mahogany color. Take them out of the pans onto a rack to cool. Control yourself !!!! Let them cool !!! This sounds like a lot to do but it is easy and should take only 10 minutes to mix and shape. The most time is in the waiting for the dough to rise and for the bread to cool . But it do look great !!! & Professional This dough can also be used for Cinnamon Buns . I use it for Bagels too. I like the Hardly Noticeable, sweet taste.

That sounds just like 'em! & "Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle..." reminds me of something I read on another forum. A couple who had several Aussies hosted a family reunion at their home. After lunch, the children went outside to play, & the adults looked forward to sitting down & relaxing with coffee & conversation. Then the grown-ups heard screams & howls of anger from their children. They all ran outside, only to find... the Aussies had all the kids rounded up into a tight little circle!

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) Sauté 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 would also like to thank Sue_Va for your recipe Sweet Mini Apple Dumplings! As I've said before, I don't bake but I made these today and DH loved them! They were so easy to make. In case any of you have forgotten the recipe, here it is! Thanks again, Sue! Sweet Mini Apple Dumplings Posted by sue_va of the KT This recipe was given to me by a friend. My neighbor gave me some apples recently and I made it and gave them some in return. They gave me some more apples, so, I made a second batch last week and did the same. I will be making another batch on Friday to take to my DD's birthday dinner. Does that tell you how good they are? 2 8-oz tubes refrigerated Crescent rolls, separated. 4 apples, cored, peeled and sliced into 8 wedges. ý cup butter 1 cup sugar 1 cup water ý tsp cinnamon Cut each crescent roll in half, forming 2 triangles from each. Roll up one apple wedge in each triangle, crescent roll style. Arrange in a 13X9" baking pan* coated with non-stick vegetable spray. Set aside. Put butter, sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; boil and stir until sugar dissolves. Pour over crescents; bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Makes 32. * I made the second batch in two square pans, because the ones in the middle in the long pan didn't get as well done.
