oh my, it seems i missed posting yesterday

I was sitting outside yesterday with my dear hubby waiting for the grill to be ready and I commented that I didn't do a post.  Have I been that busy?  Let's see, I've not been any busier than usual.

The verdict is in on the White Lily flour...and it's a Thumbs UP!!!!

I just eliminated the salt.  They are the fluffiest lightest biscuits I have ever had and they are great with homemade strawberry jam slathered on top.

After dinner last night we went down to the lake and took a walk on the pier.  It was a beautiful night and we were even able to see the Chicago skyline.  It was a bit hazy but you could still see the buildings pretty clear.  The lake was full of sail boats coming in from a race they had taken.

It has been such a nice summer.  I love having the windows open and had thought that I could handle not having the air on when it got too hot out.  But a few weeks ago I caved and the air went on.  So, I'll not complain as long as I can keep my windows and doors open.  I've been trying to do some sewing and my little sewing corner can get pretty hot and stuffy.  The air just doesn't seem to move around in there.

Not much else going on here at the homestead.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Looks like you had a wonderful evening down by the lake. Don't you just love having all the doors and windows open around the house? It's the best! The biscuits look so good! I might have to make some home made ones this weekend. Have a great day Judy!

Okay -- I loved seeing the skyline. Made me homesick. THEN. . .I've got to know your biscuit recipe, PLEASE?!?! I continue to try and make biscuits, and they end up like hockey pucks.

HELP!?!?!

I can imagine walking along the water to be filled with calm lovely moments. And the weather has been springlike here as well.

Those biscuits do look good!

I'm going to say it was probably not the flour but your biscuit making skills. They sure look good.

I'm glad that you found the secret to the White Lily flour...do you use a recipe when you make biscuits and if you do, do you ever share it? My mom never measured, and her biscuits were different to any other...but the grandkids ate them like they were cake so you know they were good.

anyhow, this is long, and though I can bake pies and cakes, I cannot make biscuits that are worth eating. So every now and then I get it in my head to try again...with a new recipe.
