i am just now dashing through the kitchen and grabbing herbal tea and a granola bar on my way to go write a bunch of letters to donors, find somewhere to spend $2K by 6pm tomorrow, and compile my department's June stats!!!

Seems I'll miss everyone again lipstixgal. It's 10pm here and I'm almost ready to curl up with my book (Patrick Gale - Notes from an exhibition) and a bag of crisps (potato chips).

Now you'll have to tell me about biscuits. What I call a biscuit you call a cookie. So my biscuits really wouldn't go with chicken :eek: (not to mention that I don't even eat cookies or anything with sugar)

A muffin? An english muffin? Do you have a biscuit recipe?

We have loads of different cookies, or rather biscuits here. Loads! Don't tell me no-one offered you a Hobnob? Or a Penguin? Or a Jaffa Cake? Or a ginger nut? I could go on and on. :D

Noooo none of those Kettle crisps for me, far too crunchy. I like Seabrooks Plain or Salt and Vinegar crisps although I am currently addicted to one of their new flavours, Wasabi.
http://www.seabrookcrisps.com/

*leaves a few bags of Seabrooks for the Kitcheneers to sample*

ps. Ta ever so for the offer of chocolate but I'm sure someone else would appreciate it more, I don't eat chocolate! Yup I know I'm weird :winky:

No biscuits are not like english muffins we have those here. And no no one offered a penguin or JAFFA CAKE, or hobnob what are those they sound delicious!! but the biscuits are like a cake like thingy. Jo would have a recipe, its basically flour, buttermilk, baking soda or powder, some sugar I believe and I really don't know what else. I live in the Northern part of the USA and biscuits are a Southern thing and Midwest thing!! So no chocolate for you Wow that's a first for me. I love me some chocolate. G-d where is everyone tonight?? Its 6:40 pm ready to watch the telli soon. I need to be a :detective: to find these people.

I do hope Jo sees this and leaves me a 'biscuits' recipe.

Mrs.Incubus is finally home from the awards ceremony so it's time for me to go and keep her company and hear all about her evening of fun. Have a lovely evening lipstixgal and all you other Kitcheneers too.

:knighthorse:


ps. lipstixgal, look up Tunnocks Teacakes :D

JustJo 07-01-2010 05:27 PM
Good evening everyone :)

I would do fried chicken and biscuits, but that would be a bit too much like the chicken fricasse of last night.

Hmmmm....how about a nice roast? That will go with biscuits...especially with gravy made from the pan drippings to sop up. And, of course, a nice fresh green salad...gotta get those greens!

Dessert is gonna' be hot fudge sundaes...just because I'm craving one! :girleating: I make an awesome hot fudge sauce...real whipped cream...toasted peanuts...maraschino cherries :)

Hi Incubus,

Biscuits are easy. There are lots of different variations, but here's a basic recipe:

Stir together 2 cups flour, 3 tsp. baking powder, and 1 tsp. salt. You want to make sure the salt and baking powder are thoroughly mixed in now, cuz you won't stir much later.

Cut in 6 Tbsp. shortening with a fork or pastry cutter. I use butter-flavored Crisco or regular butter. Cut it in enough to look like fine crumbs.

Stir in 2/3 cup milk. Don't overstir...just enough to moisten the mixture completely.

Turn out onto a floured board and knead lightly for a minute. Over-kneading will make the biscuits tough.

You can roll these out and cut with biscuit cutter (or the mouth of a water glass) if you want round biscuits...or pat into a rectangle and cut into 10 or 12 squares.

Put on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for 10 - 12 minutes until golden brown.

If you want to try some variations, you can stir in about 1/2 cup of cooked, crisp, crumbled bacon.....or 1/2 grated cheddar cheese.....or 2 tsp. of dry herbs of your choice....or 1/4 tsp. curry powder....or some combination of the above.

Be aware....if you use buttermilk instead of sweet milk, you need to decrease leavening to 2 tsp. baking powder and add 1/4 tsp. baking soda.

Enjoy! :)

  • Incubus do they sell those teacakes overseas to america I want some!! I wonder if you could order them and then they send them over the pond. The biscuit recipe is up and dinner sounds wonderful Jo I'll take a sundae for sure. Anything chocolate is in my best interest! Thanks.

lipstixgal 07-01-2010 05:40 PM
Wow I just googled those potato chips from England and they are 17.00 dollars or maybe euros but anyway too much for me!! I want those teacakes!!

Thank you ever so much for the recipe Jo, your biscuits sound a bit like our scones, only savoury, I bet they're fantastic for mopping up all sorts of gravy and cooking juices.

Seabrooks aren't expensive crisps. I've not yet been able to find any available in the U.S for you ... I may just have to send you a Crisp Care Package :cheesy:


Good morning Kitcheneers, it's 10.35am here which I guess means most of you lot aren't awake yet. Well maybe the early risers in the east are. I was planning on laying abed listening to the radio and reading this morning but the delectable Mrs.Incubus is having her gorgeous long curls chopped off this afternoon and I wanted to say goodbye to them before she set off for the last day of term and a marking frenzy. So here I am. Anyone up early want some tea? I have a large pot of Assam this morning? No food yet, I have to have at least two 'buckets' of tea before even contemplating food.

Zimmeh 07-02-2010 04:48 AM
Good Morning Incubus,

Can I have a cup of English Breakfast tea? I need it after walking three different malls yesterday and walking almost 6 hours...My legs still hurt...

ChrisButch lives in Ireland, and I am used to the five hour difference, when I chat with hym, it is about this time in the morning.

Hope you are having a good start to your weekend,

Zimmy

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you Incubus for the tea this morning...I am thinking of eggs, Canadian Bacon, crispy hashbrowns, toast, coffee, soda's, milk and juice for breakfast this morning....

My niece loved her Hello Kitty doll, and she had to play with it on the way home yesterday. My arm is sore from where my nephew kept frogging it while playing punch buggy...I am taking them back to my mom's house this morning and I loved having them here...I was craving Godiva yesterday while walking around the last mall, and went to the Godiva store there, only to notice that it had been closed...So I had a Mocha Light Frappuccino from Starbucks instead to calm down my chocolate craving...I will tell you all, that even though that drink is sugar free, it is good and it only has 140 calories in it.

Hope everyone had fun lastnight and are having a good start to their weekend...I am off to run away and drink massive amounts of coffee before the kids wake up...

See you all in a bit,

Zimmy
