Try these and use the over night version:

Cinnamon Rolls


1 C milk

4 to 4½ cups flour
1 tsp salt

¼ C butter or margarine, melted
2 pck yeast

½ C sugar (for cinnamon sugar)
1/3 C butter or margarine

1 tsp. cinnamon
2 eggs

3 C chopped Pecans
¼ C Butter
½ C sugar

2 tbl Corn Syrup


2/3 C packed brown sugar

In a small pan, combine milk, ½ cup of sugar, salt, and the1/3 cup of butter. Heat, stirring, to about 110º butter need not melt completely).

Measure yeast into a large bowl, Add milk mixture. Gradually mix in 2½ cups of the flour, and then beat for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, and then gradually beat in enough of the remaining flour (about 1½ cups) to make stiff dough.

Turn dough out onto a floured board; knead until smooth and satiny (10 to 20 minutes), adding flour as needed to prevent sticking. Place dough in a greased bowl; turn over to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about1 to 2 hours).

Punch dough down. Kneed briefly on a lightly floured board to release air; let rest for 10 minutes. Then roll and stretch dough into an 18 by 24-inch rectangle. Brush evenly with the ¼ cup melted butter.

Combine the remaining ½cup sugar with cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over butter. Starting with a narrow side, roll up jellyroll fashion. Moisten edge of dough with water and pinch it snugly against roll to seal. With a sharp knife, cut roll into 1 inch slices, Pour caramel mixture (see below) into pan, sprinkle pecans over caramel and arrange slices in pan. Cover; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled (about 1½ hours).

Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350º oven (325º for a glass pan) for 30 to 35 minutes or until well browned. Immediately invert onto a serving tray. Rolls will be very hot; let cool slightly before serving. Makes 12 to 15 rolls.

Caramel Mixture:

After dough has been punched down and while it is resting for 10 minutes, in a small saucepan combine 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, ¼C butter or margarine, and 2 tbl corn syrup. Heat and stir over medium heat till combined

As Overnight Rolls:

Prepare as above. After rolls are In pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator overnight or up to 16 hours.

Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and place in an oven that is turned off. Fill a shallow pan 2/3-full of boiling water and set on the rack below the rolls. Close the oven door and let the rolls rise until they look slightly puffy; approximately 30 minutes. Remove the rolls and the shallow pan of water from the oven.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

When the oven is ready, place the rolls on the middle rack and bake until golden brown, or until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, approximately 30 minutes.

Today I had to go to town so decided to indulge myself with a trip to McDonalds. Every two weeks or so I allow myself a small fries, Big Mac, and large sweet tea. At the register next to me there was an older lady (ya know she was old if she looked old to me) paying for her $6.04 lunch with nickels, pennies and dimes. Everyone else had left this line because evidently this had been going on for a while. The girl at the register was helping by putting the money in little stacks as the lady rifled through her purse. After every twenty cents or so the lady would ask, "How much more?", and the young girl would tell her. Just as I pulled my money out of my pocket to help, the girl said," that's it."

I left to eat my lunch and thought, "Someone should tell that kid she did a good job." So, I left my table and went back to the counter, called her manager over - poor kid looked scared cr**less and proceeded to tell her that if I were managing this store she was exactly the kind of employee that I would want. She almost cried and everyone there applauded her. The manager thanked me and said that she had observed the transaction, and that the girl was a valued employee.

We too often forget the weight that praise can lift from a soul.
Most people are concerned with complaints and forget to complement.
Good job.

Quote: I start next week. I was on antigen for pollen for 17 years- and out of 19 of the pollens that I took therapy for, only one did not disappear.
I am hopeful that I will be doing so much better. Just knowing that there is help has cheered me up considerably.
I was thinking the old shots just were not working anymore and I was getting rather down that there was nothing more to do. But now there is, so I am happy.

sourland I think you are wonderful!

My husband is one to hush me at every turn, but I am always telling him
"Hush not! NOTHING for the young should ever be passed for the good of them"
we easily forget how our actions can effect them and can go a long way in the making of their lives.

Such a great story and so nice of you. She will remember that for ever!

The Princess always says of me, "For someone who professes to not like people you sure engage a lot of them in conversation."

Sour, you get the 'good deed doer' medal of the day. Good job, I'm going to remember your example next time I get a chance.
