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.

We picked up something similar out at the Southern Supreme store. Really
good, maybe should have picked up 2 bags?

She hasn't posted in some years; we had quite the thing going for some
years with 2 sets of RH and 2 sets of DS on the echo. People said that
they could tell which RH was posting from the writing style.

Catch you later,
