From our
kitchen to yours
By T.A. ghost writer Heavenly Devine
Abet admitting how physi-
cally oat I am in last week's
colutha. I will admit now that
1 do enjoy riding my bicycle,
but I did not ride it into work
last week. I know my limita-
tions. I don't ride very often.
and, my children refuse to ac-
knowledge me when I do. My
bike may be twenty years old, and
not as fancy as the new mountain bikes, but it really is my one claim
to any fort of physical activity. (I think the kids are embarrassed
about the age and condition of the bike rather than the age and con-
dition of the rider, at least I hope so!!) When she was younger, my
second daughter asked if I had ever owned a penny-farthing bicycle
when 1 was her age. The joys of parenthood!
I remember my first bike, Dad are home with it on a Wednesday
afternoon, a little blue and white number. No training wheels for his
daughter, maybe they hadn't been invented yet, or maybe he just
knew that I wouldn't need them. He held onto the back of the seat
while I climbed on, and promised faithfully not to let go. Ha! In the
time honoured tradition of all good parents teaching their offspring
how to ride a bike, I'm sure he took no more than three steps with me
and I was away! At least I managed to land on the grass, so that the
scrapes were kept to a minimum. I'm sure the sidewalk would have
been much tougher on my tender skin. However, learn to ride a bike
that day " I did, and have never looked back. (I have an aunt who
couldn't ride a bike for the life of her, it's still a family joke.!
I remember the big black carrier my brother had on his bike, handy
for carrying things,•great delivering papers and a super place for a
little sister to ride down the street! I'm sure it wasn't very safe, but I
really enjoyed wheeling down the street in that carrier. I never
stopped to consider what it was like for my brother, having to do all
the work.
I remember getting bikes for our daughters. Training wheels were
a must. I didn't want my "wee darlings" falling on our gravel lane -
way. (I was still at the point of wondering if I had done the right
thing by bringing them up in the country where pavement and side-
walks aren't the accepted norm.) Because our laneway wasn't too
level, more often than not our younger daughter would have her
training wheels on the ground and her bicycle wheel spinning in the
air as she pedalled madly getting nowhere!
Then there was the day our older daughter left her bike behind the
car. You guessed it, one smashed bike. 1t was duely replaced and
daughter number two innocently asked, "Gee, Mom, if I leave my
bike in the driveway can I have a new ,one too!" I don't remember
how we got around that one, but her bike survived for a good num-
ber of years after that.
The recipe for these cinnamon roll -ups comes from the May issue
of Canadian Living. They are delicious for brunch or a snack, and
easy to make.
• Cinnamon Roll -ups
In a large bowl stir together
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
12 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Cut in until mibonre looks Eke coarse crumbs
1%2 cup cold bunter (I used margarine)
Sur in to make a sticky dough
1 cup plain yogurt (I hid this part from the kids until after they had
tried the first batch. They like fruit flavored yogurt but 1 wasn't sure
abut the plain kind.)
Press the dough into a ball and turn out on a lightly floured sur-
face. Knead the dough gently 10 times and roll in out into a 14x12
inch rectangle.
Combine
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
12 cup currants or pecans (I used raisins and pecans)
2 tsp. cinnamon
Brush dough with some melted butter and sprinkle sugar mixture
over top. Starting at the narrow side, roll up jelly -roll style to the
centre of the rectangle. and do the same from the other end so they
meet in the middle. Cut into 16 slices, place on greased cookie
sheets, flatten slightly, brush tops with
2 tbsp. milk r_
Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.

emotional support to the terminally
ill and bereaved individuals in their
hoaxes and community. This pro-
gram is dedicated to maintain or
improve the quality of life and re-
spect the individual's right to digni-
tyr hope and privacy.
