I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have both River Road cookbooks, which tell you how to make all sorts of stuff that respectable Baton Rouge housewives could make, including several questionable desserts. I suppose biscuits could be in there.

I made a squash quesadilla for dinner, using a sweet dumpling squash, gorgonzola, the last of the arugula, and some heirloom tomato.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yum!
I made a pumpkin/black-eyed pea/rice thing from a recipe my neighbor gave to me. (We're splitting a CSA share and so we always know when the other has, say, a pumpkin the size of a toddler to use up.) Next time I think I'll double the pumpkin and also add kale or mustard greens. And top with hot sauce.

It is pretty goddamn tasty, more than I was expecting it to be because I've never made it before.

I know the easiest biscuit recipe, which is James Beard's:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar (you may want less sugar for plain biscuits and more for shortcake)
1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 425.
Mix dry ingredients. Fold in cream, starting with 1 cup, until dough is easily handled.
Knead lightly on floured surface. Drop on cookie sheet or pat out dough and cut with cutter or into squares.
(James Beard suggests dipping biscuits in melted butter.)
Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes

I am a big fan of drop biscuits.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I made a squash quesadilla for dinner, using a sweet dumpling squash, gorgonzola, the last of the arugula, and some heirloom tomato.
Yum. I was just thinking yesterday somebody could make good money with a corner quesadilla stand, but I wasn't thinking of anything so scrumptious.
You know how sometimes a good sandwich on whole grain bread can be so satisfying? Well that's what I had for lunch. Picked the last bits of meat off the roast chicken carcass, then had it with slices of heirloom tomato (very tasty) and lettuce with some mayo.
Otherwise we ate nectarines all day. They were good.
