Cucumber Salad

4 c thinly sliced cucumbers
1 c mayonnaise
1/4 c suagr
1/4 c vinegar
1/4 t salt
dill
Place cucumbers in serving dish.  In separate bowl, mix remaining ingredients.  Pour over cucumbers, stir to coat.  Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

Quick Yeast Rolls

1 T yeast
1 c warm water
1/4 c sugar
3/4 t salt
1 egg
1/2 c oil
3 1/2 c flour
In bowl  dissolve yeast and water.  Add sugar, salt, egg and oil.  Beat well.  Add flour.  Stir just enough to moisten all flour.  Let rise 1 hour.  Form into rolls. (any shape works fine, but I'm partial to crescents: split the dough in half.  Roll each half into a circle.  Using a pizza cutter cut each circle into quarters, then each quarter into thirds, so you end up with 12 wedges.  Roll them up from the big end to the little and curve slightly as you place on baking sheet.)  Rise again for 1 hour.  Bake at 400 for 8-15 minutes depending on roll shape and size.  Just watch for that golden brown.
