SUNDAY MORNING BISCUITS - LEGO TECHNIC - TEXAS COLD - JIBBER JABBER

My wife found a new biscuit recipe in a Texas magazine while waiting in the dentist's office this past week. We gave it a try. This will now be our new "go-to homemade biscuits" from now on. Printed recipe at the bottom.

 

Out of the oven.

 

First test is always with just butter. Moist, flaky and full of flavor. 

 

Then with apple jelly. Scrumptious. 

There are a few more "moving parts" to this recipe but well worth the effort. My wife gathered the ingredients. I mixed the dough using a pastry cutter and cut the biscuits. Baked for 15 minutes. Next time I will take a little more time in shaping the dough to be of equal thickness before cutting squares. No biscuit will be left behind in this batch though!

NEXT LEGO PROJECT

Two hundred page construction manual. Slow start this time as some colors shown on the parts page did match the colors of the exact parts. I find this from time to time in the Lego projects I have built. Once I realized this, it was easy to move ahead. The individual parts in this model are larger and much easier for these old hands to manipulate. 

Very easy to get lost in all of this for a couple hours.

COLD IN TEXAS

I just finished texting and complaining to my son how cold it is in Texas. He replied with this photo.

 He wins!!

JIBBER JABBER

Quite this past week. Mother nature is practicing for the coming month of February weather-wise. Cold for old folk. Cats either eating or sleeping in heated cat house.

Evening movie watching. TRACKER, a new series for us, has been a good go to series to watch.  Every episode is a complete story. 

LANDMAN S2 finishes for us tonight. Because it has aired, I could go the the net and listen to the talking heads explain this last episode but I want the enjoyment of seeing it without spoilers. 

FALLOUT S2 has failed for us. I think it has much to do with my/our age and expectations from movie entertainment. We did enjoy the first season and put up with some of the gore and violence as part of the story. The characters kept us coming back more than the story itself. But now S2 wanders in the worlds of gaming. I miss the characters but am not willing to wade through the distractions of computer game worlds while trying to follow a story. See, it is me and I am ok with that.

THE NIGHT MANAGER S2

The next episode(s) air tonight and S2 episodes so far have been "OK." S2 is not up to the suspense and story telling of the first season. S2 currently feels like a retelling of the first season. S2 takes place 10 years later (in real time) from S1. Actors have aged in those years and it is noticeable. But will stick with it.  

SHERIFF COUNTRY

We are enjoying this first season. Have not formed any opinions as of yet.

BOSTON BLUE

I am wishy washy but we keep coming back for the next episode.

Enough for now. Thanks for the visit this week.
