maybe if you looked in the cookbook under biscuits instead… 
<g,d&r>
I have had that happen to me with the word, “of”. Doesn’t it sound like it shoud be spelled “uv”? I rest my case.
I am back tres early, d/t to the inservice guy coming in at 0500 and supposedly taking care of everyone. Well, all I know is that I wasn’t there at 0500! It was bad enough doing this meeting at 0700…good meeting, though-productive and no snivelling. Yay!
As for celebs and I who have been separated at birth. Well, I am told that I resemble Nicole Kidman. Frankly, I think they see paleface, reddish curly hair and a pointy nose and then fill in the rest. I also am probably the only person on the planet who does not find NK attractive. She looks like a robot to me-some type of animatronic alien or something.
Sela Ward is purty! And to me she looks alot like Sandra Bullock (or like they could be sisters).
I am very tired and it is actually winter here today (yay)–but the sun is out. It is nice to see the sun in February.

Random thoughts based on your posts, people:
I love buttermilk biscuits. It’s one of the South’s finest concoctions. There are other good things, too, but biscuits? Well!
I’ve heard stories of ruler-wielding nuns, but thank heavens <snerk> I’ve never seen one in action. I am a void of religion, I guess.
Italian sausage is SO GOOD. It’s one of the few encased meats that I like.
If we’re talking about good looking older ladies, how about Renee Russo? Hello, Thomas Crown Affair!
which may be why she was so perfect in those few scenes in Stepford Wives
welby I’ll shoot ya a recipe for buttermilk biscuits from home. It’ll probably be over the weekend. Really simple cause it calls for flour, margarine (or butter), butter milk and shortening. It took me a while to get the hang of getting 'em just right but when I did, MMMMMMMMM… brown on the outside, fluffy on the inside biscuity goodness!
Some of those frozen biscuits ain’t too bad. I usually have some of those on hand cause I can pop a couple in the oven to bake while I’m finishing up making dinner.
You sir, are the MAN!
And anyrose is not funny. Not even a little bit.
Well, maybe a little bit funny.
Sometimes Driving Husband’s mom buys me sausages made by the Kitchener area Mennonites. They are so, so, so good. I should visit and look plaintive and sausage starved at her.
The livingroom is slightly tidier. Mr. Lissar is out getting a haircut, and if he has time before work he’s promised to wash some of the dishes so I can get a headstart on them and maybe get the kitchen clean before work. I won’t have time to rise and bake the pastry today, so I’ll do it tomorrow. I promised a co-worker a loaf of bread, too, so I think I’ll do that tomorrow too. I lost five loaves to eating and giving away yesterday, so I’m feeling panicky will-run-out-before-next-week vibes. If I run out, what will I eat with the lime curd?
I wish people would stop giving us knicknacks.
Someone told me once that I looked like an Indian film star. She didn’t say which one. I guess it was something in the structure of my face - because I am a white-skinned, freckly Irish girl.
I booked my Italy trip! Yay! Yay! Yay! Now it’s 4 months away! Boo! Boo! Boo! (Have to get my passport renewed ASAP!)

I am now jealous of susan_foster
Swampy, I’d like that biscuit recipe too, purty please.
Lissla, receiving knick-knacks is better then receiving paddy-whacks and a bone, right? Okay, okay, I know that was really, really, bad. I never said I was comedienne.
Bobbio, you crack me up!
Okay, stupid question (and possibly TMI) for the ladies here. Guys, cover your eyes if you’re going to get squicked out, because here I go.
Does the mammo really hurt that badly? I only ask because I am severely remiss and overdue in getting my girly check-up. I haven’t had a pap in quite a long time, and I was supposed to get my first mammo two years ago. I’m not overly thrilled with whole boob squishing idea. I’m pretty decently endowed, so I’m a little worried. Yeah, I don’t like pain. I’ve got a high tolerance, but let’s face it, those babies are quite tender.
Okay, the guys can look again.
Off to do more work now.
And a heckuva lot better than rolling home! That can hurt let me tell ya!
So, maybe I should just post the buttermilk biscuit recipe in here?
Speaking of the MMP, who’s up to host next week? Don’t be shy. Step right up.
But you’re an old man, what with the AARP card…
Meanwhile, I’ll give my dog a bone.
#$@@&**!
I am getting stupid. Okay, stupider.
I just posted a post meant for a private board on another message board in a different MPSIMS thread. :smack: That’s the second or third time I’ve done that. But I always have two browser windows open so I can go back and forth between two sites or I get too bored waiting for one to load.
I just got over a 2 week cold, barely I still cough a lot, and now I seem to be having allergy attacks again. I can’t stop sneezing. I need to refill my Zyrtec. I think I’ll use that for my being stupid excuse.
:eek: Run Maddy Run! <snerk>
out of defference to the male MMPs
yes - it hurts, a lot - it hurts more “that time of month”. On a scale of 10, for me it hurts about an 8. But it’s also very important to have it done regularly.
Some facilities are trying out new machines that don’t hurt as much, but I think those are few and far between. Ask your doc or radiologist if they have the new one.
Also get that papp done. Better to endure a little discomfort, and find out everything’s fine, than to let things go too long and suddenly discover a problem
No kidding. She has in her inventory of Kewl Stuff To Chew On a smoked beef femur that’s bigger than she is.
And if your mind was in the gutter, Swampio, well, you just oogied me for the week.
If you all start playing on your shoes, I’m leaving…
on to female issues: YES! it hurts! And frankly, IMO, smaller chested women hurt more. Afterall, think about it: they are trying to flatten out tissue that 1. hangs perpendicular to the chest wall and 2. is essentially vertical in essence, not horizontal oh, and 3. is round and they need to make it flat.
I am fine with it until I realize that the clamp/vise thingy is NOT stopping (I am not large chested)–it’s like trying to pinch an inch of skin off your mid thigh–it ain’t supposed to GO that way!
But, it is very important.
And some women (I know one) don’t feel any pain at all. I think SHe may be animatronic, but I try not to be judgemental… 
And get thee to a pap smear type person!
Or I’ll WHACK you over the head with a paper gown and a cold speculum.
<takes deep breath>
ahem.
I am DONE with my essays! Now all I have to do is MAIL them.
thank you.
Woo-hoo! Go eleanor!
Dishes are done. Time to scrub and disinfect the kitchen. Yay. And maybe make some pita chips for Mr. Lissar.
My work here is done.
