Italian Garlic rolls...
Marcella's Italian restaurant in the 1970's was a favorite place to eat.
Located near North Miami High School, it was the place to congregate after football games.
Her pizza was great but people raved about the garlic rolls.
Some places call them garlic knots because they are strips twisted into the shape as opposed to rolls that are just one lump of dough. The knot shape allows the spices to get into the roll and not slide off it.
Ingredients
The recipe is for a dozen medium rolls.
4-8 large cloves of fresh garlic. I prefer grating them but minced works well.
(avoid the store bought garlic in jars as it's got chemicals that completely change the flavor)
3 tablespoons of dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon of dried Thyme
A pinch or two of salt.
4 ounces of olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375.
Note: I get better results with small batches in a toaster oven.
Lay out the dough at room temperature and cut into strips 1/2" wide by 4" long.
If you use a rolling pin, try for 1/2" thick before cutting the strips.
Mandatory, use need white flour to dust the cookie sheet or baking tray, your hands and the strips of dough.
If you don't, expect a sticky mess that is totally unmanageable.
The Pillsbury dough works easily (probably from all the chemicals in it) and the pizza dough requires more effort. I'll stretch and pull the dough until it's ready to tie into a knot.
Bake for 10-12 minutes and pull out just as the tops start to brown. You want them soft and not crunchy.
While hot, dump them into the bowl, put the lid on and shake.
They are ready to eat!

Rasberry Jam
There are few things in life as satisfying as whipping up a jar of home-made jam. This batch is easy to prepare, and is made entirely from natural ingredients
Ingredients
4 cups white sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
Directions
In a large bowl, mash the raspberries until you have enough for four cups.
In a saucepan, combine the fruit, sugar and lemon juice, and stir on a low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase to a high heat, bring the mixture to a full boil and stir frequently until the mixture reaches a temperature of around 104°C.
To check if the jam is ready, do the gelling test: take a tablespoon of the jam and place it onto a cool plate. If the mixture is firm and stays put, the jam is done. If it is not firm enough and slips off the plate, cook it for a few more minutes. Repeat the test. If the mixture hasn’t reached the desired consistency, add a little more sugar.
When the jam is ready, pour it into a sterilised, lidded jar while still very hot, allow it to cool down completely, and place the lid on the jar.
Cook Time: 60 minutes
