Ok, it's been a while since we posted anything...sorry :(

It's hard to find anything to write about when all we do is our routine of Kevin goes to work, I do schoolwork and we veg out at night.  Kevin just finished reading '1984' by George Orwell.  Upon finishing it he simply looked at me and said, 'Well that was depressing."  It is a great book but yeah, it's not a uplifter.

The biggest news of the day is I made biscuits that were good.  I have many 'cooking nemesises' - one is frying food.  I'm terrible at it.  My other big nemesis is making biscuits from scratch.  I have conceded that buttermilk must be used in biscuits.  I made the argument that regular milk would be the same but I was wrong.  I admit it.  Partly as a procrastination tool I decided I'd try to make biscuits again.  My last batch are probably still shoring up a weak part in the foundation of our old house.  You could hit them on the table and they would barely crumble.  Definitely not good eats.  I went searching for a recipe for biscuits that I hopefully could not screw up.  Well I think I finally found one.  Alton Brown will not steer you wrong if you ever need a recipe for anything.  When I told Kevin about my plan for dinner he hesitantly said 'ok'.  I'm not sure how optimistic he was.  He has been down this road with me many, many times.  When I took the biscuits out I was hopeful.  They were golden brown on the top and bottom.

Kevin took one bite and I knew I had done what has eluded me in the past; made golden brown, done all the way through, biscuits.  Riding my high from biscuit making success I am going to fry chicken breast tomorrow night.  Hopefully they will be good...or we'll just go to Chick-fil-a.

Enjoy!!!
