Marianne's card has a little washer for the flower. My card is made on laminating samples.

Tammy's card is from another month. She added a fish and some sandles.





This was a cool thing - we were to find something from the hardware store to make our card with - in the month of June.

These are made by Fontella, Cheryl, Marianne and Bonnie.

Famous 60 minute rolls

2 cups milk
1 cup water
1 stick margarine (or a bulging half cup)

Heat for 1.5 minutes in the microwave (should be about 105-115 degrees--or cooler, but not hotter or it will kill the yeast)

3 packages of yeast, or 3 tablespoons
6 tablespoons sugar,
2 teaspoons salt (best to add later, because it can kill yeast, but adding it now isn't too bad)

Also, add in 2 tablespoons of dough enhancer and 2 tablespoons of gluten. These can be found at Kitchen Kneads, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Stir in 4 cups flour until smooth
add 1 cup flour at a time, up to 4 more cups.

Knead 5 minutes, place in greased bowl, covered, in the sink, over the hottest tap water for 15 minutes, punch down, shape, and let rise for 15 minutes.

--Bake 350 to 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn a light gold color


----This recipe can be modified to make whole wheat, cinnamon, or orange rolls, pizza, or whatever else you can think of;

-For whole wheat add 2-4 cups of the flour as whole wheat.
-For cinnamon rolls, divide the dough in half, roll out flat spread with 1/4 cup butter 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, raisins, roll, cut into slices, place on greased cookie sheet.
-For Orange rolls, divide the douch in half, and roll it out flat,
--Filling: half an orange (peel and all-remove any seeds), cut into peices and put it in your blender with 1/2 cup suger 1/4th cup margarine blend until "spreadable"
--Spread onto dough, roll, cut (repeat, the orange mixture should be enough for both halves of the dough).
