This week's baking was a new biscuit recipe to go with biscuits and gravy.  It was from my new baking book.  It was the easiest biscuit recipe I've ever followed because it used cream instead of butter.  I had to add a little more cream because the dough was pretty dry. 

The biscuits turned out pretty good.  I under baked them and the bottoms still got a little too done.  The outside looked pretty dry, but the insides of the biscuits were still soft and moist.  Yum Yum.  They were perfect for the sausage gravy that Mike made.

I went to the Just Between Friends sale with Melissa. It was a lot of fun and I got some great deals. I went looking for a Johnny Jump-Up and found one for only $10. I also found cute clothes, of course, and some toys. Hudson already loves his stacking cups.

I read a book that won the Pulitzer Prize.  I feel smarter just by having it in my house.  This was not your typical novel, but rather a collection of stories centered around one character, Olive Kitteridge.  I loved the style and format and especially that in some of the stories, Olive played only a minor roll.  The writing was less focused on plot and more about characters.  It was also nice because I don't get to sit and read for long periods of time these days.  By having the chapters be separate stories, it was easy to pick up after having not read it for a few days.  And, I feel smarter having read something that won the Pulitzer Prize.
