Blogging from A to Z Challenge Letter C

Hello, how are you for the letter C in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge I wanted to share another Board Game with everyone and thought I would share Checkers with you or Clue.

I remember going to stay with my grandparents in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma during the Summer and playing Checkers with my grandfather. He taught me to play Solitaire Checkers. I won and he got upset with me because he couldn’t figure out to win.

As we cleaned up our Game Cabinets I thought I would find a Checkers game but I didn’t and now when were purchasing games this is one I will be adding to my list.

We do have the Original Clue and Clue: Five Nights At Freddy’s. Its hard to believe there are so many different Clue Games just like Monopoly which I have begun to collect.

Top 3 Clue Games I want to collect:

What would Game Day be without a dessert. There is a lot of cakes that begin with the letter C from Carrot Cake to Coconut Cake Charlie and I could make. But decided we would make Cinnamon Rolls. I thought you might like the recipe.

Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

Dough:

1/4-ounce package yeast

1/2 cup warm water

1/2 cup scalded milk

1/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter or shortening

1 teaspoon salt

1 egg

3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling:

1/2 cup melted butter, plus more for pan

3/4 cup sugar, plus more for pan

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

3/4 cup raisins, walnuts, or pecans, optional

Glaze:

4 tablespoons butter

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 to 6 tablespoons hot water

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

When doubled in size, punch down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at the 15-inch side, role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices.

Coat the bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.

Meanwhile, mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
