Good morning

Besides a party UFC fight night party for 12 people, cheesecake to die for, brownies from heaven... I didn't know what else happened this past weekend until I read the news.
I'm often just a little simplistic and isolated on Sundays.
I love looking in the new oven, watching the butter and shortening melt while the buttermilk biscuits are baking. It's only weird if I pull up a chair.
There are secrets to baking and good food, especially biscuits. You aren't making hockey pucks, be gentle and only knead a little bit. 3 tbs of shortening and butter (cold), cut into the flour so you have chunks in the dough. Flaky, amazing... and you can watch the chunks melt and absorb into the biscuits via. the oven window. I cut the biscuits with an aluminum can, very fancy.
You know you have food storage when every container you ever place on the table has an expiration date on it (even if syrup on biscuits isn't my thing). The towel is keeping the biscuits warm, the black tea is getting me going. We had a great Sunday morning breakfast together, sometimes it's all a couple needs to make life perfect.

    1. How do you not fall asleep in the tub after a big meal? Life vest?

    2. That sounds like a fantastic way to start a day...or end it. Anyday with hot tub in it has to be great!

  2. That looks really good. And good biscuits are hard to find; yours sound like a winner.

  3. Biscuits are a fantastic way to start breakfast. The kids have been so stuck on wanting pancakes (in the shape of 4 and 9 last weekend) that I've not made biscuits in a while. This weekend I will. Add a little gravy and it's like heaven.

  4. You just ruined good biscuits.... The older I get, the more traditional I become, sorry. Just some good butter, I don't even use jam.
