showtime rotisserie

I soooo love my showtime rotisserie, in fact I have two, the compact one the one shown. I have made turkey, the white meat is so moist, you wouldn`t believe how moist; made hamburgers, chicken-white meat is also moist; corn on the cob-ooh so good.

The first one was the compact one , in which I had to have and did not buy from Ronco, but from an individual who didn`t like it, I truly love mine, the second one, I forgot where I got it at, but it came with the tray on top, as seen in photo, in which makes excellent corn, while the rotisserie cooks the meat or whatever you are rotissering. It also comes with a flavor injector , in which I have used to inject melted margarine with a few spices in to turkey, and chicken.

I highly recomend this product, whatever the size, All I can say is yummmmmmmy, when I use it to cook any of my meals!

Ok, I really don`t know how to pronounce this recipe, and I have to admit that I have not tried it either...Lamb is sooo expensive, if you find it in the store at all. This recipe comes from 1968.

Refrigerator Rolls

Here is another recipe for refrigerator rolls, this one from 1967.


Refrigerator Rolls
Mrs. Vona Odneal

1 cake yeast
1/4 cup water, lukewarm
2/3 cup fat
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup potatoes, mashed and hot
1 cup potato water, hot
3 eggs, well beaten
4 to 5 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Place fat, sugar, salt, mashed potatoes and potato water in large mixing bowl. Stir until fat and sugar are melted and mixture cools to lukewarm. Add eggs and mix well. Add 2 cups flour and mix well. Add sufficient enough flour to make a soft dough. Turn onto a well floured board and knead in flour until dough is smooth and can be easily handled. Dough must be soft. Do not use more flour then needed. Place in lightly oiled bowl and allow to rise until double in size. Knead down and shape into rolls. Allow to rise to double size. Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Makes approxiamately 50 rolls. This dough will keep several days in refrigerator.


The recipe calls for salt, which wasn`t in the list of ingredients, I would say use about a 1 -1 1/2 teaspoon salt in this recipe, the usual for refrigerator rolls.

Gain dish Soap

I know can you believe it Gain washing powders , now has dish soap, I do believe it is a good product, this is my second bottle. I really don`t know if they have any for dishwasher machines though, my dishwasher is my own two hands, simple things around here .
I maybe dating myself, but remember the old dish soap commercial , where they say it is good for your hands....well this dish soap don`t dry yours hands out. And it is not a bad price either.

I so love the Gain laundry detergent as well
