I made buttermilk biscuits today, and FINALLY got it! Well, I had the recipe down the last time I made it, but made them as drop biscuits. Up until today, I've always had a hard time getting the dough workable without adding way too much flour (and consequently overly dry biscuits). Well, a couple of weeks ago, I had a revelation while cooking another food, that I should just pat out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper (NOT adding any additional flour), then cut the circles. Well, I tried that method today and it worked like a charm! Not only that, but instead of spacing them out an inch a part on the cookie sheet, I smooshed them in. I'm convinced it helped them from drying out. These biscuits were divine. I made a batch of 10 and I think we have 3 left :) I took pictures, I was so proud. Maybe I'll upload them tomorrow.
Anna adores the Muppets, we learned tonight. We knew she loved her Sesame Street books and Tickle-Me-Elmo (thank you to my coworkers for the recycling on old toys/books!), but this was new. She calls them all Elmo (we've gotten her to say "ermy" a few times for Kermy) and it's adorable. Tonight we showed her the original "Muppet Show", Season 1, and she laughed out loud just watching the intro song! She especially loves Fozzie. And Animal.
