Oh for some good ole home cooked food. Tomorrow! Today was another flop. No one makes muffulettas like New Orleans Central Market. So we will stick to Just Plain Cooking :

Easy Cinnamon Rolls (Memaw's)

Cut shortening into flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and blend with fork until dough leaves sides of bowl. Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead 4 to 6 strokes. Roll into 14" x 20" rectangle.

Spread butter over dough, leaving a narrow margin on all sides. Combine sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Add nuts and raisins.
