A Yummy Biscuit Recipe

First of all I don't like biscuits, can you say dry! Forced frugality has made me try these hard hockey puck wanna be bread things.

And I was pleasantly surprised, they aren't so bad. So go here and use this recipe and enjoy. Eat one straight out of the oven with butter and jam. Or with the traditional biscuits and gravy.

I used: whole wheat flour, rice milk and butter instead of shortening. Pretty healthy and cheap!

the "i'm bored list"

Poor, poor blog! How has it been a month already?

Well here is our "I'm bored list" just to keep you two readers entertained. In no particular order here is what I send them to do when they can't find anything to do:

The obvious go clean _____.
Dominoes
Fill sink with water and give them cups and funnels and such.
Put an inch of water in the tub and let them play with dolls or whatever else needs a bath.
Lego's, I'm really specific like build me a man 1 foot tall.
Puzzles.
Homemade play dough.
Button art (glue buttons to paper)
Tinker toys, again specific, ex. a rolling contraption that is taller than me.
Wood blocks, make a fort for the army men, build a city or a just a wall.
Finger knit- learn on YouTube.

Do you have any good ones to add? With this sub below weather the I'm bored's are getting a bit much.
