Making Pretzels

Ingredients:
1 cup water
2 pkgs yeast
2 teaspoon honey
2 1/2 cups milk
1 stick butter
1/2 cup honey
4 teaspoon salt
8 cups flour
 Extra salt for tops

Dissolve yeast in one cup of warm water + 2 tsp of honey.
Melt butter in a saucepan, add milk, honey and stir.
Add yeast mixture to warm melted butter mixture and stir to blend.
In a bowl blend flour and salt and slowly mix into warm butter mixture until a dough forms.
Kneed dough and then set aside to rise for about an hour.
Punch down dough and take about a baseball size portion and roll it out so it's long and thin and form it into a pretzel shape.
Brush each pretzel with an egg wash and then sprinkle with course salt.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

My New Ford Fiesta

For the first time in my life I have a brand new car! Not a new used care but absolutely new. Technically it's not *my* car since I'm leasing it, but so what? I think of it as mine, all mine!
I got to pick the color: violet/gray. And it has all sorts of great features, like it tells me how many miles I have left to go before the tank is empty. It even tells me what song is playing on the radio. It gets 38mpg on the highway, all the repairs and maintenance and property taxes are covered in the lease payments, and it just plain runs great! Time to head out for a drive
