Another week at Vega! We all know that you’re excited to see the winners of our “Name our Blog” contest, and I’ll assure you that the judging is underway. There will be a post up in the next couple days with the results of the winners along with the option to vote for what name you think should be at the top of this blog. We are weighing the choices very carefully, and giving lengthy consideration to all of your suggestions.
All of this judging has made the staff at Bingo Vega very hungry, and we’ve heard that a few of our Roomies might have just the treat that we need to satisfy our munchies. I have to admit that I’m a horrible cook, but I’m asking for you to lend us some of your favorite bingo food recipes. Maybe if one really piques my interest, I will document my misadventures in my kitchen preparing your recipe. Hillarity will probably ensue!

I absolutely love coffee. One of my favorite treats is Finnish Coffee Bread (pulla). Here is the recipe that I use, although I omit the almonds.
Ingredients:
• 1 pkg yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water (105-115°F)
• 1-1/3 cups lukewarm milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4-1/2 cups sifted flour, approx.
• 1 tsp powdered cardamom
• 1/3 cup soft butter
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
Method:
• Add yeast to warm water, stir until dissolved. Add lukewarm milk. Beat 1 egg and sugar together, add milk mixture, salt and some of the flour. Stir to mix. Add cardamom and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead vigorously until thoroughly mixed. Add butter. Knead until dough no longer sticks to sides of bowl. Cover. Let rise in warm place, 85°F until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Punch down. Divide into 3 equal parts, shape each into a long strand.
Braid strands to form a loaf. Cover. Let rise again until doubled in size. Brush with slightly beaten egg. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake in moderate oven, 350°F about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Makes 1 loaf.
