LOL!

You try reading a strangers handwriting! Here's another one:

Refrigerater Date Pinwheels

4 c. sifted all purpose flour
1/2 teas salt
1/2 teas baking soda

2-1/2 cups cut up pitted dates
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 cup chopped nuts

[There's a note here that says to cook this together, cool then add the
nuts. Doesn't say why to cook or for how long.]

1 cups shortening
2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
3 eggs well beaten

Sift first three ingredients together. Combine dates and next 2 ingredients
in saucepan. Cook over low heat until thick, about 10 minutes; cool.

Meanwhile, work shortening with spoon until fluffy and creamy; add brown
sugar slowing while continuing to work until light. Add eggs. Mix well.
Add flour mixutre; mix well. Cover. Chill thoroughly. Divide mixture in
half. Roll each half separately into rectangle a little less than 1/4"
thick. Spread each with date filling. Roll up as for jelly roll into 2
rolls. Wrap in waxed paper. Chill well overnight if you can. Then cut
with a sharp thin knife into slices about 1/4" thick. Arrange 2 inches
apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 400F for 10-12 minute or until
done. Makes about 5 dozen.
