I mentioned biscuits last night and next thing I know we'd planned Sunday breakfast with homemade biscuits. (They're so good! And second nature to make now, after Biscuit Weekend last week.) I shared some process pics and tips in my Insta Story today, if you're new to making your own biscuits and want to give it a try. (The recipe I used is "Southern Biscuits" from AltonBrown.com.) #TBT to exploring Ghent, a lovely small city in Belgium. 2015. We continued Biscuit Weekend on Sunday with ham & jam on biscuits in the morning, then BBQ pulled pork and coleslaw on a biscuit for dinner. __ The weekend was a definite success! We're both really comfortable making buttermilk biscuits from scratch now. __ Now to decide what our next themed weekend will be... I made my first Carrot Cake this weekend (using the recipe from @sallysbakeblog). We took a croissants class a few weeks ago and are feeling more solid at working with dough, so we declared this weekend Biscuit Weekend and planned out a series of meals over two days using homemade biscuits so we could practice making them a few times. Today we had biscuits and gravy for breakfast and fried chicken on a biscuit for dinner. Tomorrow we're having biscuits and jam for breakfast and pulled pork on a biscuit for dinner. We'll basically be buttermilk biscuit pros by Monday, and it's nice to have a project to work on together in the kitchen. (Recipe from Alton Brown.) I love this weather and this tree in my front yard. It's 70F, sunny, and breezy in Dallas right now. My favorite. #TBT to somewhere on the side of the road in West Texas in July 2008, a few weeks before I moved to The Netherlands. We made a loop around the state from Houston over to Big Bend and Marfa and lots of other stops in between. Highly recommend hitting the road in Texas. It’s hot in the summer but it’s beautiful. Texas sure does know how to do clouds.
