Hi Shipmates,
Wish you were here. Having already completed four trips, Doug and I thought what better way to tell you of our adventures than through pictures. You know what they say: "A picture's worth a thousand words."

| Brunch is ready but before we begin, it's time to toast the crew
for another wonderful trip. |
Brunch isn't complete without sticky buns, a platter of them with nuts, another without. Every trip we have several requests for the recipe.
STICKY BUNS
Sauce:
Bring to a rolling boil
2 sticks of margarine
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. maple syrup
1/4 c. water
Remove from heat.
"Pam" one 9" x 13" and one larger pan. Evenly divide sauce between pans to make uniform coating. We always make half of the sticky buns without nuts. Sprinkle chopped walnuts in sauce in one pan. This plan works out well.
Bread:
Dissolve 3 Tsp. yeast in 2 1/4 c. warm water
Mix together
1 1/8 c. warm milk*
1/2 c. sugar
3/8 c. oil- vegetable, corn or canola
1/2 t. salt
Add softened yeast.**
* May use canned milk and warm water.
**A word of caution: The mixture should be 110-115 degrees. Any warmer and it will kill the yeast.**
Add
1 egg
enough flour to be able to knead.
Knead until handleable. Let rise in bowl. Punch down, divide into 3 balls. Let rest for 10 minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Stretch balls out, roll out, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Roll over cinnamon sugar with rolling pin. Roll up dough into pinwheel, slice into 16 pieces. Place cutside down in pan of sauce. Let rise, and bake.
