 ML> Happy new year and the best of luck in every venture

Received, and same back to you.

 ML> I started thinking about this (and conceived the title)
 ML> when my friends pointed out that it was 6F out, and we all
 ML> had been wise to stay close to home this new year's eve.
 ML> It is now 4F out, with sustained 25 mph winds. Freakin' cold.

For some reason, it took me several readings to realize that your title
was referring to temperature -- and not the other usage of the term.

 ML> Last dinner in 2008
 ML> salad
 ML> ham from Omaha Steaks
 ML> au gratin potatoes from Omaha Steaks

Tell us -- how does food from Omaha Steaks compare to food from Giant or
any other supermarket?  Our Christmas dinner was a spiral cut ham from
Harris Teeter -- and was quite good.

 ML> Christmas cookies

As is usual, Gail made a lot of Christmas cookies again this year.  Most
of them have been put into Christmas cookie tins and distributed to
local family and friends.  We do have some leftovers.  Tonight we
discovered that a couple of sugar cookies make a decent shortbread
substitute underneath some fresh cut strawberries.

      Title: Spicy Cheese Twists
 Categories: Cheese, Pastry
      Yield: 30 servings
 
      2 pk Yeast -- not instant
    1/2 c  Water
  1 1/2 ts Curry powder
    1/2 ts Paprika
    1/8 ts Cayenne pepper
    1/4 c  Margarine
    1/4 c  Sugar
  1 1/4 ts Salt
    3/4 c  Milk -- scald
      2 lg Eggs
      4 c  All-purpose flour
      2 tb Cornstarch
      2 c  Cheddar cheese, shredded
 
  1. Sprinkle yeast into 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand 5 minutes to
  soften.

  2. In a large mixing bowl combine curry powder, paprika, cayenne,
  margarine, sugar, salt and milk. (Scald milk by allowing to heat until
  bubbles appear around edges and top has a film on it. Do not boil.)
  Cool mixture to lukewarm.

  3. Add egg yolks and yeast mixture. Gradually add flour to form a
  stiff dough, beating well after each addition. You can use a mixer
  set on medium speed until dough gets too stiff. Use a wooden spoon or
  a mixer that will handle heavy doughs to combine completely. You may
  not need all the flour.

  4. Cover and let rise in warm place until light and doubled; about
       45    minutes.

  5. Beat egg whites with corn starch until stiff; fold in 1 cup
  cheese. Set aside.

  6. Stir one cup cheese into the dough. Divide dough into 2 parts.
  Roll out on floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut with 3-1/2
  inch cutter dipped into flour. Pinch each circle together across the
  middle. Gently twist the middle 2 times, keeping the sides of the
  circles round and flat. Place each 1 inch apart on greased cookie
  sheets. Top each side with 1 level teaspoon of egg white mixture.

  7. Let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until light.

  8. Bake in preheated 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes until golden
  brown.
  
  Yield: About 30 twists.
  
  Serving Ideas : A different pastry. Serve with main courses or salads.
