Freezing cinnamon roll dough, sloppy joe meat, zucchini and more

Dear Sara: I found a recipe for mixing cinnamon roll dough in the bread maker. Can I make a bunch of cinnamon rolls this way and freeze them? If so, do I freeze them before I bake them, or after? — F.S., Nebraska

Dear F.S.: You can freeze the dough or the baked rolls. I like to freeze the dough before the second rise. When I’m ready to make them, I thaw them in the fridge, bring them out to rise and then bake them. If you prefer freezing them already baked, you can freeze them frosted or unfrosted. If you freeze them unfrosted, simply bake them and frost them when they’re still warm.

Dear Sara: Can you please give me the name of a nonionic soap, and where I can purchase it? I need to use it to clean my parents’ bronze marker. — Marilyn H., North Carolina

No, it is a private business and should operate on its own revenues
Yes, an investment in Iowa Speedway is an investment in our community's future
Only state money should be used, because the whole state benefits from Iowa Speedway
Only local money should be used, since Newton and Jasper County have the most to gain
