Refrigerator Dough Roll

1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 package of dry yeast

3/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 egg - well beaten
3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour (I usually have to add about 1/2 cup more)

1. Dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar into the warm water. Sprinkle with yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes. Then stir the mixture with a fork.

2. Scald the milk, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and butter (or margarine). Pour the mixture into a bowl and let cool to lukewarm.

3. Add the yeast mixture and a well-beaten egg to the cooled milk mixture.

4. Beat in 1 cup of flour.

5. Blend in the remaining flour to create a dough.

6. Place the dough into a large bowl, cover tightly with aluminum foil. Place a damp tea towel over the top and tie firmly in place.

7. Place the dough into the fridge for at least overnight. It can be stored in the fridge up to five days before using.

8. Remove dough from the fridge and knead it for aout five minutes on a lightly floured surface.

9. Shape the dough into buns or rolls. To make the crescent rolls shown in the photo, roll 1/2 the dough into a circle about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Cut the circle into eight sections (like a pie). Then roll each wedge from the wide end to the narrow end. Place the crescent on a cookie sheet with the tip at the bottom so it won't unroll while baking.

10. Another option for "fancy buns" is to make golf ball size balls from the dough and place three or four of them together into a muffin tin. This will make buns that look somewhat like a three or four-leaf clover.

11. Cover with clean tea towel, let rise in a warm place for one and a half hours or until doubled in bulk.

12. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes.

13. Makes about 24 rolls.

Thrifty Shopping Thursdays

Hey Folks!

Hope everyone has had a good day today, it's been rainy and cloudy here all day (for the past couple of weeks it's been like that here). On today's topic of Thrifty Shopping Thursdays this weekend I'm gonna be heading over to the .99 cents store, and might go to Macy's. But I have three steps when I'm shopping thrifty at .99 cent stores.

Rule 1- What would it cost at the supermarket or drugstore with a coupon? If it would be less than .99 cents, I put it down - if it's cheaper (with a coupon remember!!) than I consider it.

Rule 2- After I make the decision to consider to buy the item I look at the brand - if it's a food item and it's not a brand I have heard of, I put it back. If it's a non-food item (supplies, figurines, paper goods) I will put it in my cart and see how much money I have left after buying the BRAND-NAME products (tide, banquet, etc.).

Step 3: Now I have all the items I want in the cart, I then double-check to make sure that it's .99 cents (I won't buy anything over $1 at a .99 cent store, since then I know I can get it cheaper with a coupon), then I count up the number of items in my cart. If I have more than 10 items, I take out any items I truly, truly don't need. Since 10 .99 cent items would be $9.90. Then I go and check out and don't pick up ANYTHING at the check-out aisle. They often have candy and such - for very cheap (I will admit) but soon you'll have "too-many" great deals and will ending up paying more than you would for a trip to the supermarket. When I'm done checking out, I'm out the door!

Hope you liked the three steps to .99 cent store shopping and have fun!!

Homemade Windex

HOMEMADE WINDEX. Thanks for your tips on using Windex to clean. I find that
a much cheaper but similar mixture can be made at home for only pennies.
Cleaners such as Windex rely upon three common ingredients: distilled water,
vinegar and ammonia. No matter what other additives a commercial product may add,
the real cleaning is done by combining 10 to 20 parts water, one part
vinegar and a scant amount of ammonia. Try starting with a mixture at 20 parts
distilled water. If you need it stronger, you can add more vinegar and ammonia.
Be cautious when handling and storing ammonia. Be sure to label the contents
clearly as containing ammonia and then store out of the reach of children.

Homemade Bath Salts

1. Fill glass, ceramic or metal 2 quart container with Epsom Salts.
2. Add 2 tsp essential oil and 2-6 drops food coloring to match the
scent you've chosen.
3. Stir ingredients until completely incorporated.
4. Seal Container and let sit overnight, stirring occasionally.
5. Place in decorative, sealed containers.
6. Tie with ribbon or raffia.
7. Add a scoop to the ribbon.

Note: For a fun twist, create an "
Ice Cream Soda" by packaging salts
in a cellophane bag. Place salt bag into the bottom half of a parfait
glass. Place a bath "poof" (those fluffy scrubber thingies) on the
top half of parfait glass (tuck the string underneath) - This is
the "
Whipped Cream". To complete the look, place a bendable (I use
colored) straw down the side of the parfait glass. Voile, a fun
homemade bath gift! This is a fun gift for kids to make and give.

If you watch the thrift stores, or go to garage sales, you typically
can find sundae and parfait glasses for a dime or a quarter each.
Even check on FREECYCLE.

You can also add
baking soda (about a heaping teaspoon) for a FROTHY
mixture.



Hope you enjoy!
