From our
kitchen to yours
By T.A. ghost writer Heavenly Devine
Everyone thought that last
Friday with the Michaelan-
gelo Virus waiting to attach
unsuspecting IBM comput-
ers and their clones was a
problem. However, this Fri-
day, March 13, and one
which we have to look for-
ward to on November 13 is
enough to strike terror into
the hearts of many who may or may not use computers. Friday
the Thirteenth! That day associated with so many kinds of bad
luck! Friday the thirteenth even has its own special phobias asso-
ciated with it, Friggaphobia, the fear of Friday and Triakaideka-
phobia (how's that for a mouthful!!) the fear of the number thir-
teen. Friday was often associated with hangings, as many
executions took place on that day, and .Christ was crucified on
that day. The number thirteen may have taken on its sinister
meaning due to the fact that there were 13 people present at the
Last Supper.
So for those of you who are superstitious, arm yourselves with
silver dollars and rabbit's feet in the next few days, start looking
for your four leaf clovers, pack along that piece of wood on
which to knock, guard against the evil eye, relax take a deep
breath and enjoy the day!
For those Triakaidekaphobiacs out then;, this recipe has never
given me thirteen Hot Cross Buns any time I have made it.
Hot Cross Buns
In a small bowl measure
1/2 cup warm water 1 tsp sugar
Sprinkle with 1 tbsp yeast (or one package)
Allow to sit for ten minutes until yeast is thick and foamy.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl measure and mix
3/4 cup scalded milk which has been cooled
2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup raisins or sultanas 1/2 cup currants (I use peel)
Add the yeast and
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cooled melted margarine -
Add remaining flour, 3 1/2 to 4 cups quickly and turn out on a
floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is
smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and tum
to grease the top. Set in a warm draft -free place and allow to risc
until double, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch the dough down and tum
it out onto the clean surface. Roll it into a 12-16 inch rope and
cut it into 12-16 pieces. Shape each one into a smooth ball and
place on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten each one slightly. Allow
to risc again, 30-45 minutes. Brush with an egg wash, 1 egg
beaten with 2 tbsp. milk, just before baking 15-18 minutes at 375
deg. Cool on a wire rack. Make crosses with an icing sugar
glaze.
These are well worth the effort to make, and are a treat at any
time of year, not just around Easter. •
What do you get when you pour hot water down a rabbits hole?
Hot, cross bunny! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Fun Night in Varna
for area families
By Jean Beierling
VARNA - The World Day of
Prayer meeting for the Varna -
Goshen .charge was held in Goshen
Church with Agnes Lampiere pre-
siding. Living Wisely with Crea-
tion was the timely topic. Linda
Linfield and Geraldine Eckel per-
formed the skit "Switchboard", a
telephone dialogue between an oil-
man and God. It illustrated the di-
lemma many people face to pro-
duce a commodity that is in
demand, even though it is ecologi-
cally damaging to God's earth. We
have no right to overuse or misuse
the earth's resources was the mes-
sage.
Margaret Elliot listed some of the
positive actions that being taken:
the Energuide ratings on applianc-
es, the Eco Logo on more environ-
mentally friendly products, farmers
improved care in the use of pesti-
cides, recycling. One of the most
promising programs is the educa-
tion of our young people to care for
the planet. There is a United Na-
tions Conference on Environment
and Development in Rio de Janiero
in June.
