French Rolls
for bread machine
1.5 Cups warm water
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
4.5 cups flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1. 5 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon yeast
Mix in bread machine on dough cycle.
Divide dough into 18 pieces and shape into miniature french loaves. Place on *well greased cookie sheets. Using a sharp knife, make two slashes across the top of each roll. Brush on a mixture of 1 egg white and 1 Tablespoon of milk (water is okay too). Let rise.
Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes, brush rolls a second time with egg mixture and then bake 8 minutes more, or until golden brown.
Smells good, tastes good, but they'll never be anything like my moms!
* the eggwhite really sticks and bakes onto the cookie sheet so having it well greased to begin with is a must.

Chocolate Cream Pie
One of the first recipes shown on the movie Julie and Julia is Chocolate Cream Pie. Julie says, "No matter how awful the day was at work, melted chocolate whisked into egg yolks will always firm up and make a pudding." Today was one of those days so I made a chocolate cream pie.
I bought Bakers semi-sweet chocolate from Winco. It comes in an 8 oz. box with each 1 oz cube individually wrapped! Cute!! I found this pie recipe online and substituted 2 cups soy milk for the regular non-Jesse milk and added 1 Tablespoon of almond extract. It lost a bit of the chocolate flavor; rats! Next time I'll leave out the almond or decrease it by half, but I was trying to mask the soy taste (I tend to notice these things).
Happy Kitchen Time to You!
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
DIRECTIONS
1. Combine sugar, flour, milk, and chopped up chocolate in 2 quart saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble. Continue stirring for 2 minutes.
2. Mix a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, beating rapidly to avoid cooking the yolks. Stir the warm yolk mixture into the remainder of the chocolate mixture, and cook for an additional 90 seconds. Remove from heat, and stir in butter or margarine and vanilla.
3. Pour filling into pie shell, and chill until set. Top with whipped topping, and a little grated chocolate
