QUICK STICKY BUNS by Kitchen Kneads
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tbsp. Cinnamon
6 tbsp. melted butter (don’t substitute)
Topping: 1/4 cup Butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 6 tbsp. corn syrup
---Dough---
6 cups flour
2 tbsp. yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1/4 cup softened butter
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup hot tap water
Mix sugar and cinnamon of filling and set aside. Mix yeast with 1/4 cup warm water and some of the sugar. Set aside to dissolve. Mix remaining sugar with 3 cups flour and salt. Add softened butter and hot water. Mix well. Add egg and yeast mixture and beat for three minutes. Add rest of flour and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed. Dough should be well mixed. Add a few tablespoons of additional flour if dough is too sticky. Knead by hand for a minute. Cut dough in half.
With each piece, roll dough into 16x12 inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter (leaving one long end unbuttered). Sprinkle with sugar filling (leaving one long end un-sugared). Along long side, begin rolling in a spiral. Pinch so it won’t come unrolled. Cut into 2 1/2 inch pieces. Place cut side up into greased 9x13 inch pan (staggered). Cover with clean dishcloth and let rise for 20-30 minutes. While preheating oven, place cookie sheet inside. Then place buns directly on the cookie sheet. The extra heat will help them to rise fast. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes until well browned; when pressed on side, it is firm. Remove from pan and place on tray.
Make topping by melting butter. Add brown sugar and corn syrup and heat until barely boiling. Pour over buns.

SALADS:
People make a lot of jokes about marriage. They are funny, but sarcasm has no place in your relationship. Give it up!
A man inserted an ‘ad’ in the classifieds: “Wife wanted”. Next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: “You can have mine.”
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

First Guy (proudly): “My wife’s an angel!”
Second Guy: “You’re lucky, mine’s still alive.”
A couple came upon a wishing well. The husband leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny. The wife decided to make a wish, too. But she leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned. The husband was stunned for a while but then smiled “It really works!”
“The poor wish to be rich, the rich wish to be happy, the single wish to be married, and the married wish to be dead.” -Ann Landers

CROUTONS by Kitchen Kneads

2 tbsp. melted butter
2 tbsp. oil, part olive oil
1/2 tsp. garlic
1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
Mix butter, oil, and seasonings. Mix with bread cubes. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
Cucumber Salad
2 cucumbers
1 sweet onion (red, Vidalia or similar)
2/3 cup red or white wine vinegar
2/3 cup sugar
½ cup canola oil or other light vegetable oil
1 to 2 tsp parsley
1 to 2 tsp dill weed
Salt
Pepper
Peel and slice cucumbers very thin. Slice onion thin and separate into rings. Layer cucumbers and onions in bowl. Sprinkle parsley, dill weed and salt and pepper to taste over cucumbers.
In another bowl mix sugar and vinegar until sugar is dissolved, whisk in oil. Pour over cucumbers and let set several hours or overnight in refrigerator.
If you use hot house cucumbers, you don't need to peel them. Also, I've found that using olive oil doesn't work well with this recipe as its flavor overpowers the parsley and dill flavors.
