"There are biscuits and there are biscuits. There are biscuits that you serve with chili, with barbecue or alongside some eggs and grits. And there are biscuits that you bring out in a warmed basket with a cloth napkin draped over them at a dinner party, to sop up a braise or slather with honey-butter. These biscuits are of the latter variety but I suspect they will quickly become your one and only biscuit because if you’re anything like me, you’ll wonder where they’ve been your whole life."

They look very similar to scones.

Bryce, we might have different names for what are often the same things. In the States, biscuits are a simple bread that's eaten with savory foods. My parents are from the South, so we often ate them with chicken, gravy, etc.

Basically your basic biscuit dough, but you add yeast. My first girlfriend turned me on to them, and now, whenever I'm back in Georgia visiting, I ask her to make them for me if she has me over for dinner.

Derrick - Some people call Angel Biscuits "Bride's Biscuits." The reason being that the combination of rising elements makes them so fool-proof that even a new bride can make them. A wee bit sexist, but they are still called that fairly often.

#oohcecily! I've made those. They're awesome!. The first time, I cut them too large, and they looked like hamburger buns when I took them out of the oven. They were good, though. :)

This is going to be to be what Mad Dog 20/20 was to wine. The Danes used to frown on we Americans who enjoyed an occasional Carlsberg Elephant beer, because over there that puts you in the same class as the public drunks and public urinators (which, of course, go hand in hand.) This a lot more potent that Elephant!

"Dirt. Noise. Crowds. Delays. Scary smells. Even scarier fluids swirling on the floor. There are lots of reasons to loathe the New York City subway, but one very good reason to love it — Helvetica, the typeface that’s used on its signage."
- Anna Haro
from Bookmarklet
"Seeing the clean, crisp shapes of those letters and numbers at station entrances, on the platforms and inside the trains is always a treat, at least it is until I spot the “Do not lean ...” sign on the train doors. Ugh! There’s something not quite right about the “e” and the “a” in the word “lean.” Somehow they seem too small and too cramped. Once I’ve noticed them, the memory of the clean, crisp letters fades, and all I remember are the “off” ones."
- Anna Haro
"That’s the problem with loving typography. It’s always a pleasure to discover a formally gorgeous, subtly expressive typeface while walking along a street or leafing through a magazine. But that joy is swiftly obliterated by the sight of a typographic howler. It’s like having a heightened sense of smell. You spend much more of your time wincing at noxious stinks, than reveling in delightful aromas."

levonardo, Schadenfreude, Keiko Yamada and 29 other people liked this
It's the third largest mosque in the world, carefully just smaller than Mecca and Medina, and the only one of the three I may visit as a non-Muslim. And a challenge to photograph! I've taken probably thirty pictures of the Grand Mosque from the outside, and never liked a one of them, and I haven't loved any of the official photos either. It tends to look unreal, like an architect's rendering or a scale model, unless it is framed by something else. The photo above was taken from the car through the window with lots of distortion and reflection, the one below from the parking lot, and for now these are the best I can figure to do.

"Good advice, I guess. In the end, I chose a Glendale clinic because it was close to home, offered "superior professionalism" and had an appointment time that worked for me. But I was a bit nervous on my way to see the doctor. What if I got rejected? Not that I've heard of that happening to anyone. The open secret is that it's a cinch to get a marijuana "recommendation" in California. A "recommendation" isn't a prescription, but it would allow me to visit a dispensary and buy my buds."

I heard on the radio this morning that California is looking to legalize recreational us.
- Adam Harrison
they totally should. It's sort of silly really that pretty much anyone can go to a doctor's office, claim migraines and get a recommendation to buy pot. Why not just legalize recreational use and tax it?
- Thomas Hawk
The idea of being officially registered as a federal criminal (the current arrangement) is off-putting to many. Legalization would make things a lot less murky.
- Jason Wehmhoener

The same thing was said for licensed growers. I know a few people who considered growning for clinics and clubs, but didn't want to put their name on an "arrest me" list. But a lot of people did start growing, and I think most are doing fine. Reminds me when the feds raided a farm in Santa Cruz, so the city of Santa Cruz deputized the farms as a big "Fuck You" to the DEA.

Heheh... I like Adam's "recreational us"... Typ-o or not?

Jason, you're not necessarily officially registered. You can get an ID card from the state but that's optional. Legally all you need is from the doctor, and presumably he/she follows confidentiality rules. If you're a member of a co-op that gets busted by the DEA, the feds would have your name, but there are plenty of places to go that don't record your info. That said, I'm for...
