tonight, i made biscuits. from scratch. without using bisquick. and they were good. very good.
yes, i had to google how to cut in butter (as i at least intuitively knew that didn't mean just literally cutting up butter and putting it the flour). and yes, i used a potato masher to cut in the butter (because it was the closest thing i had to the tool that the they used). yes, i used a glass for my rolling pin, and a smaller glass for my "2.5 inch biscuit cutter." and yes, they still worked. hip hip hooray. i feel like a rock star...well, maybe that's not a good analogy. now, if i can just learn how to make white gravy.
and mel, all i could think of was watching you make biscuits. it didn't look nearly as messy, and you didn't seem nearly as stressed out as i felt! one day, i will be as martha stewart as you are. a girl can dream, can't she?

Oh, Amy, I AM so proud! And herein lies the irony of life. My husband would rather have Bisquick drop biscuits than the homemade kind...so I never make them anymore. I don't think Sandra even knows there is any other kind. :) But kudos to you!
