   Hi Ben,   
      
      
   RH> Every so often we'll buy a tube of Annie's cinnamon rolls and bake them   
   RH> up. It started about 10 years ago when we got our first camper; Steve was   
   RH> on an R-Pod forum and (I don't know how) the thread was brought up that   
   RH> you have to try making cinnamon rolls in the micro/convection oven.   
      
    BC> I was unaware of Annie's cinnamon rolls.  I'll keep an eye out for   
    BC> them.   
      
   They aren't as common as the big name brands so you may have to look in   
   several stores before you buy them unless your regular store is one like   
   Whole Foods.   
      
      
   RH> The building manager loaned us an   
   RH> electric heater for the night and I made a pot of coffee (electric   
   RH> percolator).   
      
    BC> It's definitely not for everyone.  I remember my Dad using an electric   
    BC> percolator to make coffee in the office where he worked when i was a   
    BC> kid. I haven't seen anyone use one since.  Though those stove-top   
    BC> espresso   
    BC> makers kind of remind me of a percolator, minus the clear glass knob   
    BC> on top.   
      
   For years my mom had a pecolator that sat on a stove coil (electric   
   stove, aluminum pot). I can recall a number of times she accidentally   
   turned the wrong coil on..........and melted the percolator. IIRC, I was   
   in junior high school when one of her sisters gave her an electric   
   percolator. My husband, Steve, will sometimes use a Moka pot which is   
   sort of like an old fashioned percolator, on a one cup scale.   
      
   RH> Sounds like you would need a fork to eat it. (G)   
      
    BC> That was indeed how it turned out... more of a stew than a soup.   
      
   Those can be good. I'm trying a new recipe tonight from the same cook   
   book that the goulash soup recipe came from. It's a Hungarian Hot Pot,   
   similar to goulash; I'll only be doing a half recipe so we shouldn't   
   have a lot of left overs.   
      
   RH> Older daughter texted me a couple of weeks ago, asking for paternal   
   RH> grandmother's fruitcake recipie. I sent it, got a text picture earlier   
   RH> this week showing that she'd made it. We got ours from Southern Supreme   
   RH> this year. (G)   
      
    BC> Cool!  I happen to like fruitcake but almost never get it.  I hope you   
    BC> are enjoying the holidays.   
      
   They've been quiet. Yesterday for Christmas dinner we grilled pork   
   chops, had squash and apple casserole (previously made, just reheated)   
   and I made a German potato salad. Only left overs after that were some   
   potato salad and some of the dressing for it (made a full batch of   
   dressing, part batch of potato salad since it was just the 2 of us).   
      
      
    BC> I plan to visit a friend today and to leave next for house sitting.   
    BC> My sister needed a ride to emergecy surgery the day before Christmas   
    BC> eve. It's been chaotic here and i am looking forward to some peace and   
    BC> quiet while house-sitting.  I selected books, music, movies, and a G&S   
    BC> play for entertainment.   
      
   No fun, I hope she's doing better now.

   We picked up something similar out at the Southern Supreme store. Really   
   good, maybe should have picked up 2 bags?

   She hasn't posted in some years; we had quite the thing going for some   
   years with 2 sets of RH and 2 sets of DS on the echo. People said that   
   they could tell which RH was posting from the writing style.
