   "My brothers and I got together recently and we were talking about how times   
   have changed so much, especially with all of the technological advances.  We   
   were saying how kids these days are just so accustomed to having answers at   
   their fingertips and don't really know what it's like to do research through   
   books and encyclopedias. They probably don't even know what an encyclopedia   
   is!  About a week later I was asking the students in my kindergarten class if   
   any of them could imagine how big the earth is.  One of the little boys in my   
   class raised his hand and said "It's OK if you don't know, just ask Siri and   
   she will tell you." Keri M." (editor's note: for those of you who might not   
   know, Siri is the "name" of the voice/computer inside an iphone who can answer   
   questions that you ask)

   Our most recent request asked about a recipe for "pie crust cookies". We   
   received so many responses!  Thank you to Judy H., Marilyn C, Diane G., Clare,   
   and Margaret C.!  Judy's recipe is below because it was slighly different than   
   everyone else's.  Underneath Judy's recipe, we've included one that was   
   similar to the rest of the recipes that were sent in.  Try them both and see   
   what you think!   
      
   MRS.  BERRUS' NUT ROLLS   
   4 cups flour 1 cup shortening   
   1 yeast cake   
   3 eggs (beat slightly first)   
   DIRECTIONS:   
   Put flour and shortening in a bowl; crumble yeast over and mix like a pie   
   crust; Make a well and add eggs.  Less handled the better.  * *If dough is too   
   stiff, add warm milk or water.  Put in wax paper and refrigerate a couple of   
   hours.  Separate a section of dough and roll it out like a pie crust on SUGAR,   
   not flour.  Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and a little cinnamon.  Cut in   
   quarters and roll from wide side.  Bake at 350+# for 10 mins.   
   ***** "If you want to make a large batch, just mix up enough pie   
   crust for a two-crust pie.  Roll out the dough into a large rectangle.  (Or   
   divide the dough and make two smaller rectangles, to make it easier to   
   handle.) Sprinkle dough liberally with cinnamon & sugar.  Roll up, starting   
   with long side of dough, then slice with white sewing thread.  Bake in a 350   
   degree oven for about 12 - 15 minutes, depending on size of "roll-ups".  Just   
   watch them closely, and when they start to turn golden, they are ready.  They   
   are delicate and just about melt in your mouth.  They are also quite   
   addictive!"
