• Around 4 to 6 cups flour (UNBLEACHED White Lilly Bread Flour)

Directions:

Put the 1/2 cup of sugar, Cisco,and salt in a large bowl. Scald the milk and pour it over the sugar, Cisco and salt mixture. Stir until blended. Let cool to lukewarm. 

Meanwhile put 1/2 cup warm water in a large glass. Add 1 tsp., sugar and 2 packs of  yeast. Let the yeast rise.  Melt the butter to use later. When the mixture in the bowl is luke warm and the yeast has risen mix them together. Add flour until the dough is a little stiff. 

Then knead the dough in  pile of flour until enough flour is mixed in to make it stiff enough to roll. Knead it about 6 more times. 

Roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough in circles with. Cutter or rimmed glass. Dip each circle in butter and stretch and then fold over for Parker house style. 

Place on pan or rimmed cookie sheet and let rise until double in size. Bake at 400 degrees until  golden brown.

Additional tips for this recipe:
The water is the right temp. If you put your finger in it and it is warm to the touch, the milk needs to be the same way.  Make sure you use UNBLEACHED WHITE LILY BREAD FLOUR for these.

Stefen's Fish Tacos

My son gave me this recipe which he got in one of the countries in the Corbin.

Ingredients:

• 2 Lbs. White Sea Bass or Tilapia Fish
• 1/2 Stick Butter or Blue Bonnet Marg.
• 3 Tablespoons Minced Garlic, fresh or in the jar
• 1 Cup or more of White Wine or White Cooking Wine
• 1 Pack Soft Flour Tortillas

Directions:

Marinade the fish over night in the ref. in the cooking wine. May take more than a cup to do this. Cut fish up in bite size pieces or in half ever how you want to eat it. Put the butter in a skillet, may take less than half a stick. Add the minced garlic and let cook for a few minutes but do not let the garlic get scorched. Next add the fish and let cook on each side around three minutes or more per side.

Can cook these in half and then cut into pieces to fit the taco. When the fish is done take out of skillet and add some more butter and garlic and let cook for a few minutes. When making the fish taco add the last garlic and butter to them as a sauce. This makes the fish buttery. Just drizzle the mixture over top of the fish taco.

You can add whatever topping you like to these like lettuce and tomato, etc. You can warm the tortillas uo in the microwave to get them warm. You can also serve this with guacamole. You can use any type of white fish with these.

These are very good.

WEST 80' KY YARD SALE FOR 2013

The up coming West 80 Yard Sale that goes from Somerset, Ky. Up thru London and on into Manchester, Ky. is beginning on Aug. 29 thru Sept. 2 this  year for 2013. If you live close then start on Friday. We always go on Sat. But get there around seven as there are so many people at this sale. They always have good children and baby clothes a lot of them new. Some of the churches set up and sell hot dogs, chips and pops. Make sure to take cold drinks as it gets so hot. Also use the bathroom b enforce you begin because a lot of the area do not have any stores with bathrooms.There is a Dollar General about half way where you can go to the bathroom and buy cold drinks and snacks. Also visit the Amish market on the right side of the road heading toward Manchester. They have fresh Vegas. And al kinds of soup mixes, dip mixes, jellys, cheese, meats, We love the pimento cheese. It is a deli cheese and they have fresh brown eggs also. It is in a beige tin building and called Willow Market. They have a sign beside the road. Not trying to promote it but it is so clean and they also have bathrooms. Try some of the veg, soup or chili mix. We love it. Be careful driving and wear your seatbelt as there is so much traffic.

East 80 London Ky Yardsale Hot Dog Chili

While going to the London yard sales that they have every Labor Day weekend we went to a area church who was selling hot dogs along with their yard sale items. Let me tell you this was some good hot dogs so the lady very kindly gave us her chili recipe. This really surprised me as most people do not like to give out their recipes. Me, I am glad to give anyone a recipe that I have as that is just part of being kind to people and part of being southern. So here is her recipe for the chili. If you do not like your chili sweet you can cut back on the sugar or leave it out. Me, I like the sweet taste of it as it is very good hot dog chili.
