This is a wonderful recipe that I created for my father a few years ago. He loves a good B.B.Q But does not like any of the store brands of sauce. I make him this recipe every spring and he enjoys it to the very last drop.

Homemade BBQ sauce

What you need:

• 3 TBSP Butter
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1-2 cloves of garlic, diced
• 1 TBSP of prepared mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 TBSP sugar
• 2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
• 1 TBSP Worchestishire sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• dash of chili powder

What you do:

1. In a small saucepan add butter, onions and garlic and sauté until soft.
2. Add all of the remaining ingredients and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
3. Allow to cool and place in an airtight container and place in refrigerator.
4. Will keep several months.

Meat Marinade
This weeks' Recipe of the Week features a delicious meat marinade.  It's time to get ready for the BBQ season!  I enjoy using marinades to improve the flavor of meats like poultry, beef, and pork for outdoor grilling. They would also work well for oven-broiling.

Garden Glove Doll
This is a great dollmaking craft from one of our craftzone members, Joan Mayo from Casa Grande, Arizona who gave us this great fabric craft idea on how to recycle those used gloves to make a treasured keepsake. She says, "I have been living in Casa Grande Arizona for 6 yrs. I am disabled and love to do crafts. My grandaughter Desirae is doing crafts and always wants me to send her something, so a friend found the garden glove doll and told me about it. When I went to visit the grandkids we made them. We made clowns, Firemen, train conductors, flower people and many more. Hope everyone enjoys the dolls."

Take time to smell the roses
