Last week’s Wednesday Winner, Cyndi Swank, was thrilled of her selection, which she hopes is also a good luck sign for her brother-in-law, who was seriously injured in a car accident.
“Wow, this is so incredible! This win is coming out of left field, and is really a wonderful surprise for me. At last, something really good is happening!”
And Linda, Jane, Patty and Debra, the four additional My Memories Digital Software recipients, are super happy with their surprise winning.
If you’re like me and always looking for apron inspiration, sponsor Bernina is showcasing apron designs on its sewitall blog, which includes this log cabin patchwork apron designed by my friend Erika Mulveena.
After skyping for a year with retro rad chef Emily Ellyn, our paths finally crossed while I was visiting my sister in Florida.
Two peas in a vintage pod!
We created a video for Tie One On Day packaging, which you can watch HERE. It includes biscuits from a recipe called HamBob’s out of the Hamery in Murfreesboro, TN. This has to be the easiest, no-fail biscuit to bake. Here’s the goods:
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water (100F to 110F)
- 3 to 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup shortening
Instructions
- Mix buttermilk and baking soda together.
- Mix yeast, sugar, salt and water together. Let stand until foamy.
- Combine flour and shortening, stirring with a fork until mixed well. Mix in buttermilk mixture. Mix in yeast mixture. (Dough will be wet.) Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a heavily floured board. Cut biscuits with a 2-inch cutter. Place on a baking sheet and let rise 20 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 400F.
6. Bake biscuits 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Makes about 18 (not sure why, but I get more than 18 with this recipe, and I have to bake a few minute longer for that golden color).
A butter slathered biscuit = the yummiest!
Thanksgiving is a holiday known for recollection, making new traditions and sharing. The apron symbolizes these concepts. So please join me and tie one on (an apron, of course!) and through National Tie One On Day, make a difference in someone’s life.
Question: What’s leftover pie?
Answer: The next day’s breakfast!
