Teddy Day

Love is in the air and a bit of fervour and excitement are in the air as we begin to think about our sweet heart. What will the big day be for you and yours?? Not only is the day celebrated now but the entire week is celebrated. Today, February 10th is Teddy Day

Teddy Day is celebrated  by offering adoration that that special stuffed animal that keeps us comfortable when it seems no one else can. On this day a gift of a teddy bear is offered to express love for another.

* In our childhood, teddy bears are warm

companions – good listeners, never critical,

always reassuring. They are bear-shaped security

blankets, huggable enough to fold in

our arms, a perfect fit for our lap

Teddy Bear Bread

Makes 2 Bears

Scald 1/2 cup milk.  Add 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of salt and 3 tablespoons of butter.  Stir until melted.  Cool.  Dissolve 2 teaspoons yeast (1 package baking yeast) into 1 1/2 cup warm water.  Add to milk mix.  Add enough flour (approx. 4 cups) to make moderately stiff dough.  Knead 8-10 minutes.  Place into greased bowl.  Let rise until doubled.  Punch down.  Divide dough in half.  With one half, divide into 2 pieces (for head and body).  Divide rest into 7 pieces (1 nose, 2 ears, and 4 paws).  Shape into bears.  Let rise until doubled.  Mix 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water and brush onto bears.  Make indentation in ears.  Place raisins for eyes and belly button.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
