COMMENTARY

Since this journal is about easy recipes I thought I'd put up the Bisquick version.
For those of us who refuse to use Bisquick, use your favorite biscuit recipe. You can find easy biscuit recipes on the back of your flour bag. Storage suggestions will be on the back of the flour bag as well.

Biscuit Do’s and Don’ts

Do: Use two different types of fats in your biscuits. Use half real butter and half margarine. This will give you a mild buttery taste like at your favorite restraint. Using two fats this way makes the flavor mild, not tasteless as with margarine or overly rich with just butter.

Do: Use the fat straight out of the refrigerator. When the fat is at room temperature it won’t make those fluffy layers we all love.

Don’t: Don’t over mix the dough because they’ll serve better for bricks than as a side for dinner. Mixing causes the gluten in flour to form. Under mixing makes it too hard, over mixing does the same thing. The time it takes to mix biscuits is about 5 min total. This time includes mixing and kneading.

Don’t: Don’t sweat this. They’re just biscuits. Biscuit making ranks pretty low on the grand scheme of things. If all else fails use tube biscuits and drape a piece of cheese over them during the last few minutes of baking.

YOU ARE WORTH IT

Do you scarf down lunch because it’s just lunch? Do you eat selection A3 from the machine daily because it’s just lunch? Not everyone feels every meal should be a celebration of flavor and atmosphere, but in my opinion, how we eat reflects how we feel about our inner self.

Are you worth setting the table during dinner? Does it seem silly to set it for lunch when you don’t even do it for dinner? Taking time for yourself and to give yourself your best is never silly. We put our best foot forward for everyone all the time. What’s wrong with putting your best foot forward for you? Pride is pride even when it’s felt standing alone in a kitchen. Pride is pride before a crowd or at a table alone. So when you do whatever you do, do your best. When you are amongst others, when you are alone, put your best foot forward. If others are worth the effort you certainly are worth even more.
