Recipes

Quick Mix
8 c. self-rising flour*
1.5 c. nonfat dry milk
1.5 c. shortening

Mix flour and dry mild in a large bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture with 2 knives or a pastry blender (recommended) until mixture resembles small peas. Store the Quick Mix at room temperature in clean, dry jars or plastic containers with well-fitting lids. Keep tightly covered.

Servings: 12 to 14 cups

*If using all-purpose or plain flour, add 1/4 c. baking powder and 1 Tbls. salt.

Biscuits

2 c. Quick Mix*
1/3 c. water

Carefully stir water into mix to form a stiff dough that can be removed from mixing bowl in a single lump. Plane dough on lightly floured surface and knead briefly, using extra flour to keep dough from stiching to fingers or board. Pat or roll dough to half-inch thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter or drinking glass dipped in flour. Place biscuits on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F until light brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Makes 12 biscuits if thin, 6 if a little thicker (like mine).

Getting a little better.

I have been trying to cook lately and the last 2 batches of biscuits were not that great but these turned out decent and I wanted to show ya. Good thing I have laptop in the kitchen, the pan was hot.

My Piano Recital

Today was my piano recital. I was very nervous but it turned out really good. There were 32 students in it and I was last.
I have been taking now for almost 9 years. Now I'm sort of sad because next year will be my last recital ever!
Everyone have a GREAT day!


Love yall!

Relay for Life

Sandra has been cancer free for 5 years!!! That is wonderful. Lastnight was the first time I have ever participated in Relay for Life and it was a very moving experience. To see all of those survivors, some of them have been cancer free for 40 years. That to me is a miracle from God. Sandra, you are my Hero. I will walk 3 miles again for you anytime!!! Wish you all could have been there. I also walked in memory of Donald.

Anthony

If you havent had the pleasure of hearing Anthony play the piano yet, you are in for a treat. God has blessed this young man with a special talent. I think Donald whispered into God's ear and told him to give his musical talent to Anthony. He can play the piano by ear like Donald could.

Anthony, I really loved hearing you play!
