Den's Dressing...

As told by Carol Etzel and as loved by the Hatches!

1/4. c. water
1/2 c. cider vinegar
1 1/2 c. oil
1 can tomato soup
2. t. Worchestshire sauce
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. salt
1 t. pepper
 1 t.  Gulden Mustard (not dry)
1/2 t. garlic powder

Put all ingredients into a blender and "whip the devil out of it!" Or so says Auntie Carol!

Note, I use whatever mustard I have in the fridge and it turns out just fine.
I also like to add a bit more Worchestshire sauce.  Make a big leafy green salad, grill up some salad, break out the crutons and pull aparts.. Add the Den's Dressing and you have a stellar luncheon for your friends!

Cinnamon Gems

I had dinner with Terese Engstrom who had come to town for a visit (and dinner with Mary Beth and Karis, Jill, Rose Lami).  Years ago she shared a recipe with me and at some point, I looked at her and thought...YOUR RECIPE.  It's a gem, it's a keeper, it's so easy and so much fun to eat.  How in the world did I forget about this recipe.  Took me a full day of panicky looking to find it, already on my computer recipe program. Whew!  Was so happy to find it.  Here's the recipe.....pix will be posted next time I made them again.  Immediately I made them and shared them.

Continue with succeeding hunks of dough, forming them to fit together--may look like quarter moons. 8 Rise til doubled. 9 Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. 10 Drizzle with glaze if desired.
