Delicious Homemade Rolls – Based on a Japanese Recipe

I have been searching the internet for a recipe resembling specific rolls dating back to the early ’70s, as per my memory of summer camps in Ellenville, NY.   Mrs. Kormeluk was the cook at that time, baking these rolls daily, and serving them with a cup of cold milk as an afternoon snack for all the campers.

I have tried several recipes and my children were my judges for the texture and flavor of these rolls, as they also remembered them from their camp in the ’90s.  However, this time they were baked by Mrs. Tinio.  

Korean Flavored Carrot Salad – Koreyska Morkva

The original recipe for this carrot salad was found on this site.  
Since many of my Ukrainian friends raved about this unfamiliar salad to me, I was determined to find and prepare a recipe that would suit my taste.
