It's Over -- Wagner Calls It Quits -- Putin Moves To "Take Wagner's Global Empire" -- June 29, 2023

Did the CIA just "win"? Perhaps the best outcome under the circumstances.

Too early to call it, but this looks like another huge win for Mr Biden.

I've just gotten into my Russian literature phase, starting with Tolstoy. Timing could not have been better.

Time To Bake Rolls

After a sidebar discussion on baking, a reader sent me this cinnamon roll recipe.

It was my understanding, the reader said it was okay to post. If I'm wrong on that, I will take it down if requested. Until then:

Here is the link to the recipe, from a reader:

-I made a couple of additions, add 1/2 cup raisins to the dough and 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the brown sugar filling.
-When rolling out the dough I made a 24" stick with marks at 2" and 12", making it easy to measure out the whole sheet and the 12 pieces. (since I added the raisins and pecans, I made 14 buns)
-The last batch I made was in a 20"x12"x3" cast iron pan, much better than glass or thin metal pan. Or you could use a 12" cast iron fry pan for a 1/2 batch.
-I use an instant read thermometer that has been checked to be accurate with ice water and boiling water.


-Use a flour sifter to coat the dough with a light coating of flour while rolling out the sheet.
-With the cinnamon sugar nut filling, it is easier to spread the butter on the dough and sprinkle with the dry mix.

Takes about 3 hours to make.
