That's right. 10:24 I was trying, I was trying not to say anything, 10:26 I was trying to do my best over here 10:28 but this, I don't want to, 10:31 I want to hide this isn't working good. 10:32 This wasn't reaching the dough even. 10:34 So let me just go over here 10:35 and I'm gonna have to do it by hand. 10:37 Get it off with the spatula. 10:38 I think but, hey, Mom, 10:40 this is what we had to do a lot of times anyway, right? 10:42 It is, it's the only way I had to do it first. 10:46 I might not need to get, let's see. 10:50 This is... 10:51 You might have a way much flour. 10:53 That's right, let's see if we can... 10:55 Little bit of water. 10:56 Yeah, I might have to add a little bit of water 10:58 to this I think, 'cause it's, 10:59 I don't know what happened here 11:01 but it is not coming out the way 11:03 it did in my recipe but see... 11:05 Well, this mixer didn't do you any favor, 11:08 so I'm just telling. That's right. 11:09 I know, I realize that. So I can tell that. 11:12 I like to do a lot of stuff by hand in my kitchen. 11:14 Yeah. 11:16 Oh, you never know 11:18 when you're not gonna have electricity, 11:20 so you got to be able to do it. 11:22 That's right, okay. 11:23 This is coming together now. 11:25 I probably got too much water in it now. 11:28 But at your, directions at home, 11:30 make sure that you follow my directions 11:32 'cause I know I got way too much, 11:34 look we're putting that now and... 11:37 But your recipe instead. 11:38 I probably need a little flour, Mellisa. 11:41 Yeah, follow the recipe exactly and you'll be fine 11:47 because I had to improvise and this is definitely not... 11:51 Little sticky. 11:53 It's a little sticky 11:54 because you need to be able to roll up, 11:55 it's actually a, it's a firmer dough 11:58 and that's why it looked a little floury 12:00 but you have to mix it good 12:01 and that wasn't mixing really well at all. 12:05 So we got some flour here, Mellisa to the rescue. 12:10 Okay, so now, here we go. 12:12 So, here we go. 12:14 Oh, be careful, you'll get too much again. 12:15 Yeah, I don't want to do that but it was just too doughy, 12:19 I got too much. 12:20 But, Mom, wouldn't this be sudden 12:22 if we ended up getting the better recipe 12:24 out of it after all, see, you just never know. 12:26 Oh, may be, you never know. 12:27 And sometimes don't you think 12:28 God just kind of covers our mistakes and... 12:31 I know he does. 12:32 He can turn out, you know, 12:34 he can make anything 12:35 that's bad into something good, right? 12:37 Yup. So. 12:38 You know, it's really a special though 12:40 when you make something homemade 12:42 and you can take it to your neighbors and friends. 12:44 It is. Oh, yes. 12:46 They really do appreciate. 12:47 And you can have a little card with it, 12:50 maybe a little, 12:55 you know, Bible verse of encouragement, 12:58 a little devotional book, you know, 13:00 something to uplift and encourage. 13:02 You can also find somebody that lives alone 13:07 and doesn't have much family, 13:09 and you can invite them to come and share 13:11 your Christmas at your house. 13:14 We've done that a lot, haven't we? 13:15 Yes, we have. 13:17 And actually you can also invite somebody to come 13:21 and help you make the things 13:23 because that's part of the fun. 13:26 In fact, that's a lot of the fun. 13:27 That's right. 13:29 And there are people who live by themselves 13:31 and they don't have anybody to cook and bake with. 13:33 That's right. 13:35 So, you know, you could invite them over 13:36 and have them help you. 13:38 It's true, okay, real quick, I'm gonna show you 13:40 that I just put them on here, 13:42 this is a not the texture 13:43 this dough is supposed to be at all, 13:45 I just tell you that right now, follow my directions. 13:47 But you see how I just make it indentation, 13:50 and then you're gonna only put half a teaspoon 13:53 into this of the filling mixture into 13:55 'cause if you put more than that, 13:58 it's gonna all bubble over and that's not gonna be good. 14:00 Just doesn't look as pretty. 14:01 So go ahead and put a half a teaspoon in each one 14:03 and if the, 14:05 I'm gonna just show you this real quick 14:07 because let me put this over here, Sis. 14:11 If this dough was the consistency 14:12 it's supposed to be, 14:14 it is very firm and you would need to 14:16 if there is cracks, I would like you to see this. 14:19 If there is any crack, 14:21 see if we can get a close up shot. 14:22 If there is any cracks on these edges of the dough, 14:25 you would take a butter knife 14:26 and you will just smooth it out 14:28 because if there is any cracks, 14:30 then it's gonna dribble down and you don't want that. 14:33 So that's what that butter knife is for 14:35 because I got generous with my water 14:37 and got it too soupy, 14:39 it's not gonna be the right consistency. 14:41 So just follow my recipe. 14:43 Mom, what is that you say, do as I do, you know, 14:46 and that's wrong, whatever that was. 14:48 They're gonna taste, 14:49 anyways, they're gonna taste good. 14:51 They are gonna taste good 14:52 and we've got some creative packaging ideas 14:55 right here to show you. 14:56 You can see here we've got some, 14:58 a big platter, 15:00 down there is a plate that 15:01 you can get it at a yard sale of maybe at, you know. 15:05 Dollar store. 15:06 Dollar store and get some good little plates 15:09 and then you just get the wrap and tied up really pretty. 15:12 Here's some with just individual ones 15:14 that you can see, 15:15 you decorate and it just makes a nice gift to take 15:19 and it's a wonderful way to say I love you, 15:21 I care about you, 15:23 you know, happy holidays, Merry Christmas. 15:25 And, you know, Mom has some pumpkin bread 15:27 that she's gonna show you how to make that 15:29 we helped her make when we were little. 15:33 Well, Mom would you like me to read the recipe for you? 15:35 Okay, for this you will need: 16:12 Well, Mom, this is the special recipe 16:14 we had in our family 16:16 for as long as I can remember but before you start, 16:19 I just realized, 16:21 actually I didn't realized Mellisa reminded me 16:22 that I needed to tell you how long to bake my cookies 16:25 and you are going to bake them in a 350 degree oven 16:28 for about a 14-16 minutes, 16:31 just watch them until they are golden and that's it, 16:33 you can serve them hot, cold, 16:34 or you can put them in the freezer and for later. 16:37 So Mom... 16:39 Okay, Mom, I ask you where you got this recipe? 16:42 I guess I must have invented it. 16:46 It's so... 16:47 She was always doing that. Yes. 16:49 That's right, you were always creative. 16:51 I think that's where, where we got our, you know, 16:53 where we're creating recipes. 16:54 She passed it down... Yes, she did. 16:56 Well, I choose the sucanut as the sweetener, 16:59 the main sweetener in here because I don't know, 17:02 if you know what to use or not, 17:03 but it has a little bit of molasses flavor 17:07 and it gives it a unique flavor for the pumpkin bread. 17:13 You want to... 17:14 So where do we gonna start, Mom? 17:16 So where do we gonna start? 17:17 We got to put all the dry ingredients in this bowl. 17:18 Okay. 17:20 And including that sucanut? 17:23 Yes, everything. 17:26 I said all the dry ingredients. 17:30 I'm just checking. 17:32 Once it in there, I knew we couldn't take it out. 17:34 So I didn't want to go oops. 17:36 You're right, you can't take it out. 17:37 I just put the cornstarch in. 17:40 Was that cornstarch? Yes. 17:41 Okay. And brown sugar. 17:43 And we're using that cornstarch just to replace our eggs 17:46 which we used to have to use. 17:48 So did you get baking powder too? 17:50 Spices. 17:51 I have baking soda. Baking soda, okay. 17:54 Okay. 17:56 I love... Okay. 17:57 I love just the spices as well... 17:58 If you just stir those up a little bit. 18:00 Cinnamon and, you know, all the cloves, I love, yes. 18:03 The spicy flavor. 18:05 Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg all that in there, 18:07 ooh, that just smell so good. 18:08 Oh, it does. 18:10 And it taste so good but I love the smell of it is well. 18:11 I do too. 18:13 And it's also a holiday kind of flavor. 18:16 I would think so. 18:17 You know, what I do? 18:18 I will take orange slices and some cinnamon sticks 18:22 and some whole cloves and I fill the, 18:26 a little sauce pan with water and I boil it on my stove. 18:29 That's right. 18:30 And it just make... 18:32 Your kitchen smells good. 18:33 Actually we have a wood stove, wood burning... 18:34 I was gonna say... 18:36 Wood burning stove. 18:37 I've seen it on your wood stove. 18:38 And I set it on my wood burning stove 18:40 and it just sits there for hours 18:42 and smells the whole house up just like... 18:44 Oh, that's your secret, 18:45 I love the smell of your house. 18:49 Well, actually her house smells good 18:50 anytime of the year because... 18:52 That's the truth. 18:54 She is always baking and cooking something 18:55 and you walk in her house and go, that smells good. 18:59 You didn't even know what it is yet, but, you know, 19:01 it smells good. 19:02 That didn't really matter what time of the year, 19:04 her house smells good all year long. 19:06 That's for sure. 19:07 Okay make a little hole in the center kind of like. 19:09 Okay. 19:11 And put all of the liquid ingredients... 19:13 So that's why we got that... 19:14 Including the water. 19:16 Okay, Linda. All right. 19:18 And go, just put that all in there 19:23 and then I can put it all in here. 19:25 Okay. 19:27 Okay and stir this up. 19:28 And... 19:29 Linda, I don't want you to have that left out feeling, hon. 19:32 I wasn't feeling left out at all. 19:34 Don't stir it yet. Oh, oh. 19:39 Brenda is gonna add... 19:40 I didn't do it, Mom. 19:41 I didn't do it, wasn't me. 19:43 She is going to add the baking soda directly to the pumpkin, 19:46 and the reason you do that is because that activates it 19:49 and so it will raise better. 19:51 Oh, that's cool. Yeah. 19:54 I didn't know that. 19:56 We are always learning from you, Mom. 19:57 I did not know that trick. 19:59 Well, you know there is some things 20:00 that you've taught us when we were little. 20:02 Okay. 20:03 That we just did because Mom had said so, 20:04 but we might not have always understood why and, you know, 20:08 it's a kind of like when you, we dearly love, 20:13 you know, a dish called you know, 20:15 vegetable scallops 20:16 and I always cut my scallops in two 20:19 and I even, you know, 20:21 when I did for my kids, and my... 20:24 At one day I asked my Mom, I said, Mom, I said, 20:27 why is that you always cut your scallops in two. 20:29 I still do with my kids. 20:31 I still do it. 20:32 And Mom says that's just to stretch the dish, 20:35 to make it go round a lot more. 20:39 Well, it make some sense. 20:40 I didn't know. 20:42 But actually I really like them like that now often, don't you? 20:45 I do too because you get some that are just nice and crispy. 20:48 Yeah, so... 20:51 Yes, so Mom I still put cut mine in two. 20:54 Well, I still do two. 20:55 Yeah. 20:57 So when do you edge your nuts in stuff after that's mixed up? 20:59 When you mix it up a little bit, 21:01 you actually could add them now 21:02 and I can just mix some right in. 21:05 Okay, we'll do it. 21:06 Now you said the nuts, 21:07 you wanted the raisins in there too? 21:09 Yes. 21:10 It's a good thing, 21:11 I was wondering you would say no. 21:13 I thought you would say no since she got oops. 21:19 She'd say, can't take those out now. 21:25 And do you ever do that mix it with this or always by hand? 21:27 No, I always do this by hand. 21:30 How many pans you want me to spray? 21:32 Yes, three pans. Three. 21:34 You divide this into three loafs 21:38 and try to get it as even as you can. 21:43 And these are small little bread pans. 21:46 These are the medium sized bread pans. 21:48 I make my bread in this 21:50 because I like a smaller slice of bread 21:52 than what most people do, 21:54 so... 21:55 Yeah, make mine in that too. 21:57 You know, it gives you more, 21:59 it gives you more bread to give away as well, so... 22:01 Right, it does. 22:03 You know, you can decorate in a fancy way and... 22:06 So you're just dividing that dough up in three. 22:08 I had just divided up as even as I can. 22:13 And the try pans. Trays over here so-- 22:16 Shoo-fly don't bother me. 22:22 Oh, that's pretty good, Mom. 22:26 I remember, I mean this... 22:30 Just smelling, this bread as it was baking. 22:34 Smells so good. 22:35 I think, even though this is Mom's recipe 22:37 so it's kind of cool that you're here 22:39 because each one of us girls make this 22:41 but we have a little twist to it. 22:42 We might take some of Mom's recipes 22:44 and we all do a little bit of twist to it, 22:46 becomes our own recipe 22:48 but it's all started from what Mom taught us. 22:51 So I want to tell you that 22:52 you can use any sweetener you want to use 22:54 and if you've got diabetes, 22:56 you can use the sugarless thing, 22:58 any kind of sweetener 23:00 but most people put too much sweet stuff in pumpkin bread 23:06 and makes it so that it's not very tasty. 23:08 All you taste is a sweet. 23:12 Yeah, you miss all that good, you know... 23:13 Yeah and I like to taste the flavor of the bread. 23:16 Right. 23:18 I have a weakness for bread anyway, I love the breads, 23:22 you know, all kinds of bread. 23:23 Oh, I do too. 23:24 I have a weakness for anything pumpkin. 23:26 When, Cinda, remember 23:28 when we are traveling around Europe, 23:29 even London when we were there and, Mom, when we were there, 23:31 we'd always go to the bakeries, you know, 23:33 for wherever the bakeries were, 23:35 we want to see how each country had... 23:36 Oh, it was so good. 23:38 Because everybody makes bread different 23:40 and it's kind of amazing, don't you think sisters how 23:42 you can take the basic ingredients 23:44 and yet with those same basic ingredients 23:47 that we make them so different. 23:49 And what I love about the European bakeries is 23:53 they look beautiful and they are not that sweet. 23:56 Yeah, yeah. No, they are not. 23:58 So now what you are gonna do, Mom? 24:00 Well, this is what it looks like... 24:01 When its' baked? 24:03 When it come after it's baked, you can see in this size pan, 24:05 this is what it looks like and then you just slice it 24:08 and enjoy it. 24:12 Music to my ears. 24:15 Oh, oh, oh. 24:17 I think I need to enjoy this. 24:21 Linda, you want to enjoy one over there? 24:23 I'm enjoying her enjoying. 24:25 Hey, Mom, you want to enjoy it with me? 24:27 Sure. 24:28 Let's enjoy this with, 24:30 and we can remember all those memories. 24:32 See we got two tasters in the family. 24:36 It really is good. 24:38 Have just one slice. 24:41 I have two, that's two-hander. 24:43 If you like it sweeter, if you like it sweeter, 24:46 you can put a little honey or jelly or butter. 24:47 Being two hander. No, one is enough. 24:51 What we would like to show you is 24:52 how you can decorate them over here. 24:54 We've got some where you just wrap it 24:56 with the plastic wrap 24:58 and tie different ribbons around it, 25:01 and you can put different holiday decorations in it. 25:04 And it's a really beautiful gift, 25:06 a gift that means to me a lot more than something 25:08 just go out and buy. 25:10 It's a gift of love that's what that is, 25:12 and I just think that's a wonderful, you know, 25:15 holiday gift we give. 25:17 And that's, that's another thing you taught us. 25:19 Any time that you prepare a meal 25:21 or you bake something 25:24 or cook something you're giving of yourself. 25:26 That's right. 25:28 When the kids were little, 25:30 I would bake pumpkin bread up ahead of time, 25:33 freeze it, wrap it, fix it up, whatever, 25:36 but on Christmas Eve they had to go to the neighbors 25:39 or to some of the older people in the church 25:42 or whatever and, 25:44 and we sing Christmas carols and give them a loaf of bread. 25:48 That's right. 25:49 And then they could go home and open their gifts 25:51 but they don't open any gifts, 25:53 if they didn't, if they didn't. 25:55 That's right. 25:56 So we had mom brought us a gift first, 25:58 we wanted to give. 26:00 It was fun too. Yeah. 26:01 We loved doing it. 26:02 It wasn't a punishment can I just say that, 26:04 we were excited and love to do it. 26:06 It wasn't something that we were being punished to do, 26:08 we're excited to do it and loved it. 26:10 And you know that I started that tradition when I, 26:13 my kids got older. 26:14 You still do it. 26:16 I still do it even when David and Catie come home, 26:19 every Christmas Eve you'll find us out caroling 26:22 and we make gifts together 26:25 and we'll each of us even David... 26:28 Of course not even David 'cause David is a good cook. 26:31 I think David is a great cook David is a very good cook. 26:33 Each of us will take a recipe and we'll multiply it 26:38 and make a lot and then we spend all Christmas Eve 26:41 caroling and giving out the gifts. 26:43 Well, she takes what whoever came to visit her, 26:46 she takes them with her. 26:48 That's true. That's true. 26:49 Okay, it's time to go caroling. 26:52 Going caroling, that's right. 26:53 And my kids would much rather do that 26:55 on Christmas Eve than anything. 26:57 That's true. 26:58 So we don't open gifts on Christmas Eve because of that. 27:00 Another great gift give away for food from the heart is 27:05 Linda's holiday sweet rolls. 27:08 Sis, you want read the recipe? 27:09 Sure. 27:10 For the holiday sweet rolls, you will need: 27:27 And for the strawberry filling you will need: 27:41 Now before we get started with our holiday sweet rolls, 27:44 Mom, could you tell them 27:46 how long you bake the date bread? 27:48 Mom, you were just did a pumpkin bread. 27:51 Oh, it's a pumpkin bread. 27:52 But, Mom was really just trying to make me feel better 27:55 you know because I forgot to tell 27:57 you how to bake my cookies so... 28:00 One hour at 350. 28:02 There you go. All right. 28:03 Pumpkin bread is one hour at 350. 28:05 And actually Linda said date bread because when I make it, 28:10 I put dates in it instead of raisins. 28:15 Yeah, and if there's a fruit in there... 28:17 And you can do that too. 28:18 You can do that too. 28:19 All right. 28:21 Now, I did give you a recipe for the dough 28:25 and you can get that online right, Sis? 28:27 You can get it on our Micheff Sister website. 28:29 It's micheffsisters.com 28:32 So that's how you get it at micheffsisters.com 28:35 and you can get the recipe for as well. 28:36 And they can also go to 3ABN, right? 28:38 And the 3ABN website as well, 28:40 but there's many places, 28:43 she's given you a recipe 28:44 but you can use any kind of dough, right? 28:47 You can buy dough in the grocery store. 28:49 This is just an easy dough and it's also very soft 28:51 and it's quick and you make it by hand, 28:53 you don't even need a bread machine 28:55 or anything like that or even a mixer. 28:58 A mixer doesn't work by the way. 29:01 I can... 29:02 Yeah, exactly. 29:03 I can personally tell you 29:05 this is the best cinnamon rolls. 29:08 Actually you're making, 29:09 you're not making cinnamon rolls, 29:11 you're making holiday rolls but... 29:12 That's got some cinnamon in it. 29:13 Oh, your cinnamon rolls are amazing. 29:16 Okay, we're gonna get started here. 29:18 So I'm just gonna spray the counter. 29:20 But if they did... 29:22 if they want to go out and purchase the dough, 29:23 there is in the grocery store... 29:24 They can, they can. You don't have to. 29:27 I'm gonna take this. 29:28 Most bakery sections get it. 29:30 But if you use this dough you don't have to roll it. 29:33 But you're very careful with it, 29:35 you treat it gentle just, 29:37 just like you were a little baby, 29:39 so you're just gonna stretch it out. 29:41 This is called being loving and kind to your dough. 29:44 Yeah, we're gonna stretch it out. 29:49 Okay. 29:50 Mom, if you could mix my maple syrup in with 29:57 strawberry fruit sweetened jam 29:58 just to give it a little maple taste. 30:00 Okay. 30:02 I'm gonna work this out here. 30:05 All right. 30:08 And you know, Mom, 30:09 I still make your homemade frozen strawberry jam 30:13 that you taught me. 30:15 Really? I do too. 30:16 I still do that and I taught David and Catie how to make it. 30:19 I didn't make that in years. 30:21 I thought it's my favorite jam. 30:24 I don't usually eat jam but that I do. 30:29 Mom probably doesn't have as much time to do 30:31 to make jam like she did 30:33 because she's actually the director of our 30:36 Kids' Club Bible Study Club for kids, 30:38 and she has almost, 30:40 she's so busy. 30:41 She has almost 35,000 children enrolled in Bible studies, 30:44 from how many countries now, Mom? 30:46 Hundred and nineteen. 30:47 Hundred and nineteen countries around the world. 30:49 Can you imagine, 30:50 she's got lessons and mail coming in and out of her house 30:54 constantly going back and forth 30:56 and I love it, Mom, when you call me and say, 30:59 "I've got another country.' 31:00 ' You know, a requests came in from so 31:04 God is really using Mom in so many ways. 31:07 At a time of Mom's life where 31:08 a lot of people are really slowing down, 31:10 mom's beaten up. 31:12 Okay, Sis, if you could spray these pans. 31:15 Okay. 31:17 Now these are giveaway pans 31:18 but you can also go to yard sales, garage sales, 31:21 whatever you want to call them, 31:23 discount places 31:24 and you can buy beautiful dishes 31:27 and you can also give it away 31:29 or you can just get a good deal at a store somewhere. 31:32 If you want to get a special dish 31:34 and that's part of your gift to them, 31:36 but you can also use these. 31:39 So I'm gonna take a little bit of these, 31:42 I'm gonna take some vegan margarine on it 31:45 and you just spread it all around. 31:47 I love gloves. 31:49 You don't really get yourself too messy here. 31:54 Oh, it makes it really easy to clean your hands. 31:56 Yes.

Okay, well. 34:14 You inspired us to be creative in our thinking, right? 34:17 But you come and make the dough for me, 34:19 because even though I make the dough, 34:22 yours is always better. 34:23 Always. 34:25 That's because you don't hit it. 34:28 Do you make yours by hand? 34:29 Yes. Oh. 34:31 But it's not as good as yours. 34:32 Oh, you're just sweet. No. 34:35 Okay, now I usually have a little 34:38 something underneath that like a cutting board, 34:40 but I'll try not to cut through too much, so. 34:42 Okay. 34:45 I love my countertop. 34:48 You can just cut right on it. 34:49 And we're just going to place them in here like that. 34:53 And I make them fairly thick. 34:57 So you're cutting like an inch and a half? 35:00 About an inch really. 35:03 You want to tell them how long you have to bake it, 35:05 so we don't forget like I did. 35:07 Yeah. 35:10 Mom's reminding you, Sis. 35:11 You're going to bake, 35:13 you're going to check them in about 25 minutes 35:15 because depending on your oven 35:17 it usually takes about... 35:18 Thank you. 35:20 It usually takes about 25 minutes, 35:22 so check them in about 25 minutes 35:25 and I let them touch you know, so... 35:28 What temperature? 35:29 At 350 degrees. 35:32 Yeah, at 350 degrees and then you just fill your little pan, 35:35 you put them in a warm place, 35:37 you let them rise until they're double in size 35:43 and then you bake them for like 25 minutes, 35:46 or just until it's like light golden brown, 35:50 and here we are. 35:52 Now you're not putting them real tight. 35:54 And here is often that we'll show you in a minute, 35:59 but this is what they look like 36:00 when they come out of the oven. 36:02 They'll just be a little golden 36:03 and I just take a little bit of powdered sugar, 36:07 and a little bit of vanilla, 36:09 add little bit of water, 36:10 whip it together and just do a glaze on top 36:13 and then to package them, 36:16 my sisters packaged these for presents. 36:20 And so if you can see how we package them. 36:23 In the store they have quite 36:24 a few different types of containers 36:26 that you can use for giveaway things 36:28 and there is one's wrapped, Cinda wrapped that one. 36:32 It's beautiful, Sis, 36:33 with just a little bit of Hollywood, 36:36 holiday. 36:38 Hollywood, holiday.
