ELK’S LODGE • 755 N. River Road Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Let rolls cool 10 minutes. Pipe Sugar Glaze over rolls in the shape of a cross. M arch is a huge month in our calendar year. Among other things, it heralds the arrival of spring with ex- travagant fl ower displays that say, ‘Winter is over. Yea!’ And thanks to congress, it also ush- ers in Daylight Savings time. Boo. (I hate losing an hour of sleep.) It is also National Nutri- tion Month—an event that we ignore during March’s other holidays. Today’s recipes are not particularly healthy. Tasty and calorie laden, yes. But there’s not a vegetable among them, so you’d better plan “healthy” around your main course meals. For instance, March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day, and it’s easy to cook up a corned beef bris- ket and veggies. Simmer your corned beef all day. Then add potatoes, carrots and cabbage to round out the main event. To make dinner really special, bake traditional Irish Soda Bread. A simple recipe fol- lows. Be sure and use butter- milk in the batter. Two of the most holy days in the Christian Church fall in March this year: Easter Sun- day (the resurrection of Jesus Christ) and Good Friday (Je- sus’ death on the cross). Ac- cording to tradition, hot cross buns are eaten on Good Friday to remind people of Christ’s death. The origins of those buns are somewhat controver- sial, mostly because of their possibly pagan connections and commercial uses. As a Christian, they simply remind me of Good Friday, and I eat them in humble re- membrance of the event. But even if you’re not a Christian, they’re mighty tasty, so you can still enjoy them. The recipe that follows is a nutmeg-and- cinnamon-spiced yeast dough bun. Lemon icing is easily piped through a zip-top bag corner to form the traditional cross on top. If you don’t like lemon, substitute milk and va- nilla for fl avoring. Finally, there is no tradi- tional Easter dessert that I know of. Every family has their own specialty. My fa- vorite is lemon meringue pie or any strawberry and cream concoction. My husband’s is New York Cheesecake or a German Pineapple Schaum Torte. I think this year we will compromise and eat a Lemon Schaum Torte. Whatever your traditions I hope that you enjoy the fel- lowship and the food and re- member the reason for the sea- S TARTING M ARCH 18 TH P ER P ERSON * LEMON SUGAR GLAZE Whisk ingredients together until smooth: 1 cup powdered sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons milk (or use lemon juice) 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract Traditional Good Friday fare, hot cross buns are eaten as a reminder of Christ's death. son.
