1 A Woodbine Senior Living Community The Forest View March 2018 Hello Family and Friends, I would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their patience through this flu season so far. I would also like to ask, since it is the season when residents are more susceptible to being sick, if you have family or friends visiting from far distances to call and check in on the resident before making the trip. We want to encourage everyone to visit but if a loved one is not feeling their best we want them to be able to rest as well. Please never hesitate to call with any questions or updates on your loved ones. Thank you, Heather Quinn Director of Nursing

5 A Recipe from our Dining Director! These cinnamon rolls are the BEST IN THE WORLD! Big, fluffy, soft and absolutely delicious. You'll never go back to any other recipe once you try this one! I N G R E D I E N T S For the dough: ¾ cup warm milk (110 degrees F) 2 ¼ teaspoons active yeast (1/4- ounce package yeast) ¼ cup granulated sugar 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted 3 cups bread flour 3/4 teaspoon salt For the filling: 2/3 cup dark brown sugar 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened For the cream cheese frosting: 4 oz cream cheese, softened 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened ¾ cup powdered sugar ½ teaspoon vanilla extract I N S T R U C T I O N S Add warm milk to the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle yeast on top. You ll know your yeast has activated if it begins to foam after a few minutes. If it hasn t, then start over; your milk was either too hot or too cold. Once yeast begins to foam, add in sugar, egg, egg yolk and butter. Mix until well combined. Next stir in flour and salt with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form. Place dough hook on mixer and knead dough on medium speed for 8 minutes. Dough should form into a nice ball and be slightly sticky. (If you don t want to use an electric mixer, you can use your hands to knead the dough for 8-10 minutes on a well-floured surface.) Transfer dough ball to a well oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel. Allow dough to rise for 1 hour to 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size. After dough has doubled in size, transfer dough to a well-floured surface and roll out into a 14x9 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough, leaving a ¼ inch margin at the far side of the dough. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Use your hands to sprinkle mixture over the buttered dough, then gently rub in into the butter a little. Tightly roll dough up, starting from the 9 inch side and place seam side down making sure to seal the edges of the dough as best you can. Cut into 1 inch sections with a serrated knife or floss. You should get 9 large pieces. Place cinnamon rolls in a greased 9x9 inch baking pan or round 9 inch cake pan. (I also recommend lining the pan with parchment paper as well, in case any of the filling ends up leaking out.) Cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel and let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap and towel and bake cinnamon rolls for minutes or until just slightly golden brown on the edges. You want to under bake them a little so they stay soft in the middle, that s why we want them just slightly golden brown. Allow them to cool for a 5 minutes before frosting. Makes 9 cinnamon rolls. To make the frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Spread over cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.

6 John Paul Young said it best, but here at Forestview Manor, we sing it a little different. Spring is in the air, everywhere we look around Spring is in the air, every sight and every sound And we don't know if we're being foolish Don't know if we're being wise But it's something that we must believe in And it's there when our residents look outside. As February begins to withdraw and March enters with a glow The warm weather starts to melt, that god awful snow The trees begin to bud, and our property is full of mud Spring is in the air, in the whisper of the bee's Spring is in the air, in the robins in the tree's And we don't know if we're just dreaming Don't know if our lips are just chaffed But it's something that we must believe in And it's there when we call our residents name So please try to drive very slowly As our residents are out and about Keeping in mind that your love one, Loved when you give them a shout Spring is in the air, in the rising of the sun Spring is in the air, when the day is nearly done And I don't know if it's just an illusion Don't know if it's really warm out But spring is something that we must believe in. Allen Chouinard, Maintenance Director
