[Sca-cooks] Potrero seige contest

[Susan Fox]

It would have worked, I know that for a fact.  Remember the cinnamon 
rolls that brought in big bucks at the arts auction?  I made those on 
site, with yeast from a jar.  Did up a sponge the afternoon before, kept 
in in the kitchen pavilion near the range so it got intermittent heat at 
least, covered with a black plastic trash bag to soak up the sun's rays 
during the day.  Made a slack dough in the morning, let them rise and 
baked just before auction time.

The moral of the story is:  Always Dare!  The worst that could have 
happened is not much different from what you had already.

With admiration anyway, Selene
