The four were practising their moves to Michael Jackson's latest. 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.
