2 cups warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cubes melted butter (3/4 cup)
7 cups flour

a heavy duty mixer. It only requires one rising and it's impossible to mess
these rolls up. If you don't have a heavy duty mixer, only add part of the

You are my last hope in trying to find a recipe that I tried 30+ years
ago! It was called "Sunny Chicken" It was a baked chicken dish and the
glaze on it was made from lemon jello. The recipe was printed in the
Akron Beacon Journal around 1970 in Ohio. I hope you can help! Thanks
very much! gzulia
Timm sent this:
I have an old recipe for Sunny Chicken but I am not sure if it is from
the Akron Beacon Journal.

A thank you goes to the Lifestyle Columnist, Lisa Abraham, and librarians
at the Akron Beacon Journal. She graciously e-mailed the recipe to me
today after a two week search through paper files. There were no
electronic files prior to 1985. I am posting this recipe for Barbarainnc
and anyone else who may have been looking for it.
Someone was looking for this recipe, I posted about it and "Haggered Mom"
on the QVC Board found it!! :) :) :)

Albertson's in Texas carries a great crab log spread which I haven't been
able to find in their stores since I moved to Colorado, nor can I find
a recipe for it on the internet.
Other than crab and cream cheese, I don't have any idea what was in it.
I'd be grateful if you have any ideas, even the ingredients would be a
great help. I could then experiment with quantities.

I used to get a sauce at Popeye's that was obviously made fresh at
the restaurant. It came in a little clear plastic cup with a lid.
The employees called it "pocket sauce" and it seemed like a mix of
mustard, mayo and maybe relish. It was not spicy - it was sort of
sweet. Anyway, I can't find the recipe anywhere and when I go to
popeye's now and ask about it, they've never heard of it. I know
they served it in the 80's. If you can help, I'd love it.
