Lion House Dinner Rolls

2 packages yeast
2 cups warm water (110-115 F)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening (butter, margarine or vegetable shortening)
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup nonfat dry ilk
5 to 6 cups flour
1 egg

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, combine yeast and water.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Add sugar shortening, salt, dry milk, 2 cups flour, and egg.  Beat together until very smooth.  Add 2 more cups flour, one at a time, and beat until smooth.  

Add about one more cup flour, 1/2 cup at a time (in your mixer if it will take it, or by hand), until it is well mixed in.  Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead until it is smooth and satiny.  Gather dough into a ball.  Scrape bowl clean and grease it with shortening.  Return dough to bowl and grease surface lightly.  Let rise away from drafts in a warm (not hot) place until about triple in bulk.  (In a cool oven with a pan of hot water on a rack under it is a good place.)

Use last of the four as needed on the board for rolling and shaping the dough.  (Don’t use it all unless you need it.)  Let dough rest on board for 10 minutes so it will be easier to manage if you roll it.  Cut or mold into desired shapes.  Place on greased baking sheets.  Brush surface of rolls with melted butter.  Let rise in warm place until ready for oven (about 1-1/2 hours).  Bake at 400 F for 15-20 minutes or until browned to your satisfaction.  Make about 3 dozen rolls.

Quick and Easy Black Beans

2 Cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 2/3 cup diced onion 2-3 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced 2/3 cups chicken broth 1/4 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon coriander 1/4 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 lime In a saucepan on the stove, heat the olive oil to med-high heat. Saute onions for about 3 minutes or until they just start to become translucent. Add garlic and saute abut 30 seconds more. Add beans, broth, and remaining seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are done cooking, remove from heat and add in a few squeezes of fresh lime juice. Then use the back of a spoon or rubber spatula so smoosh (yes, that’s a technical culinary term) some of the beans. You don’t want to pulverize them, but you want to take a bunch of good smooshes so that some of the beans are smashed, which will thicken the sauce.
