Blast. I'm feeling tweakish & in need of a drive... Oh, yikes... I just remembered that I forgot to get gas today. Erm, gas would be good for driving. Including the drive to work, tomorrow.
The day was good. Rain here, rain there, but it was a sunny & spectacular ending to the day. Mum is now crashed out, and I may be soon to follow. What a party pooper. Not that there's a big party. Far from it. Even the dog is crashed out.
I cooked pasta & made biscuits (the bread, not the cookie) from scratch, today. I will always prefer to have biscuits that were made by hand... they are even relatively easy to throw together:
2 c. flour, 1 TBSP b. powder, 1/2 tsp b. soda, pinch of salt, good pinch of sugar-- mix together; take 4 TBSP butter & work w/ fork or pastry cutter just until cut in; add scant cup of buttermoo. Bring together. Fold dough over a couple of times. Pat out to 1/2" thick, cut out with very small circle cutter, etc. Bake for 10-13 minutes @400 degrees, or until golden brown)
They're so much better than the store-bought crap! This recipe does not make a "flaky" biscuit, but more like the type of biscuit you would use for strawberries & pour cream, or perhaps biscuits & gravy. Mmm, biscuits & gravy. Don't I have a roll of sausage in my freezer, somewhere? I typed "biscuit" a lot, just now. Biscuit, biscuit, biscuit. I'm gonna go look for sausage...
*rustles about in freezer, cursing in an unladylike fashion as frozen banana-bread-bananas escape & try to break various toes*
AHA! I do have sausage. Score one for the Raineth. Sausage now in fridge, to defrost overnight. I can make biscuits & gravy for breaky, tomorrow! Yumms.
OK, I'm pooped & restless. I'd really better be getting some gas in my car... my luck, I'll forget about it right up to about the time I have to leave for work, tomorrow.
Cheers & All
