Subj : Pie Crust To : Ben Collver From : Ruth Haffly Date : Fri Dec 26 2025 03:26 pm Hi Ben, RH> Every so often we'll buy a tube of Annie's cinnamon rolls and bake them RH> up. It started about 10 years ago when we got our first camper; Steve was RH> on an R-Pod forum and (I don't know how) the thread was brought up that RH> you have to try making cinnamon rolls in the micro/convection oven. BC> I was unaware of Annie's cinnamon rolls. I'll keep an eye out for BC> them. They aren't as common as the big name brands so you may have to look in several stores before you buy them unless your regular store is one like Whole Foods. RH> The building manager loaned us an RH> electric heater for the night and I made a pot of coffee (electric RH> percolator). BC> It's definitely not for everyone. I remember my Dad using an electric BC> percolator to make coffee in the office where he worked when i was a BC> kid. I haven't seen anyone use one since. Though those stove-top BC> espresso BC> makers kind of remind me of a percolator, minus the clear glass knob BC> on top. For years my mom had a pecolator that sat on a stove coil (electric stove, aluminum pot). I can recall a number of times she accidentally turned the wrong coil on..........and melted the percolator. IIRC, I was in junior high school when one of her sisters gave her an electric percolator. My husband, Steve, will sometimes use a Moka pot which is sort of like an old fashioned percolator, on a one cup scale. RH> Sounds like you would need a fork to eat it. (G) BC> That was indeed how it turned out... more of a stew than a soup. Those can be good. I'm trying a new recipe tonight from the same cook book that the goulash soup recipe came from. It's a Hungarian Hot Pot, similar to goulash; I'll only be doing a half recipe so we shouldn't have a lot of left overs. RH> Older daughter texted me a couple of weeks ago, asking for paternal RH> grandmother's fruitcake recipie. I sent it, got a text picture earlier RH> this week showing that she'd made it. We got ours from Southern Supreme RH> this year. (G) BC> Cool! I happen to like fruitcake but almost never get it. I hope you BC> are enjoying the holidays. They've been quiet. Yesterday for Christmas dinner we grilled pork chops, had squash and apple casserole (previously made, just reheated) and I made a German potato salad. Only left overs after that were some potato salad and some of the dressing for it (made a full batch of dressing, part batch of potato salad since it was just the 2 of us). BC> I plan to visit a friend today and to leave next for house sitting. BC> My sister needed a ride to emergecy surgery the day before Christmas BC> eve. It's been chaotic here and i am looking forward to some peace and BC> quiet while house-sitting. I selected books, music, movies, and a G&S BC> play for entertainment. No fun, I hope she's doing better now. BC> Title: Date Pinwheels BC> Categories: Desserts BC> Yield: 72 Pinwheels We picked up something similar out at the Southern Supreme store. Really good, maybe should have picked up 2 bags?

People said that they could tell which RH was posting from the writing style. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 .... Junk: stuff we throw away.
