We've delayed the start of Field Day and the chili cook off til 3pm Saturday, Jan 24th.? This was necessary because the Teamsters scheduled the facilities for training purposes from 7am to 3pm.? The size of the class and limited parking caused change in plans for us.? TCArc members have been invited.? If you could somehow announce the change, I'd appreciate it.? Thx.? Les, K7FTQ.

Re: GRRAA Christmas Food List Sign-Up
Thanks, everyone, for all you did to make our Christmas lunch such a great club party on Saturday.??
Here is the cheese bread recipe that a couple people requested.??
Pull Apart Cheese Rolls
Makes 48
Rolls:?(Can substitute Rhodes frozen dough or premade pizza dough)
3 TB yeast
1 ? cups warm milk
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 ? tsp. salt
3 eggs
6 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in warm milk.?
Mix sugar, butter, salt & eggs in a mixer.?
Then add milk & yeast and mix.
Work in flour & knead 8-10 minutes.?
Cover with towel and let rise in bowl 2 hours.? I put this in the oven that has been slightly warmed with the heat turned off.
?
Punch down dough.? Roll out half of dough to approximately 9 x 13 size or until about ?” thick.? Cut into 12 squares, then each square into 2 triangles, for 24 pieces.
?
Filling:
Italian seasoning
12 mozzarella cheese sticks
?
Cut each cheese stick into 4 pieces.? Sprinkle each triangle with Italian seasoning and put on a cheese piece.? Bring dough around cheese making into a ball shape.? Place seam side down close together (sides touching) on parchment paper on a cookie sheet or
in greased baking dish.? Repeat with the other half of dough.
?
Cover and let rise 1 hour.
?
Topping:
1 egg
1 TB water
Parmesan cheese
Garlic salt
Dried parsley
?
Mix egg and water and lightly brush onto the rolls (you won’t use it all).? Then sprinkle with parmesan, garlic salt and parsley.
?
Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.? Serve with marinara sauce if desired.
