Company's Coming

1 8 pound turkey breast - $17.99*
1 box of stuffing - $2
4 yams - $4
1 bottle of wine - free
homemade bread - $3

Dinner with friends - priceless


Angela came over early to help me cook. Together we made the corn casserole, yams, and stuffing. Turkey is so easy, you just put it in the oven and wait for the button to pop up...
And Rob made his delicious apple pie with cinnamon sugar crumb topping.

Bon apetit!
Auntie's Refrigerator Rolls (from my great-aunt Evalee)

In a large bowl mix
2 cups warm water
2 packets dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
Dissolve yeast in water - 5 to 10 minutes

add the following:
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup soft shortning (crisco)
1 egg

Mix in 61/2 -7 cups flour by hand
Knead until elastic and smooth (8-10 minutes)

Form large ball and put in a greased bowl, grease the top of the dough and cover with a hot damp cloth
Refrigerate over night (or until doubled)

When ready for rolls, punch dough down and pull off 2 1/2 inch balls (somwhere between a golf ball and a tennis ball) and place on cookie sheets.
Cover with a dry towel and let stand at room temperature for 2 - 2 1/2 hours (or longer is fine)

bake at 375 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes

Enjoy!
