I was gonna go for a nice stroll this morning but decided since it is Valentine's Day (it is our TWENTIETH v-day together!!!), I'd make a yummy batch of biscuits before work instead.... We don't really have any special plans - I have to work, Christian is home today, and and it is my last day to see Coco before she heads off to a new out-of-state rescue, so I plan to see her this eve after work.... maybe we will get in an episode of Twin Peaks...
(awwww! When unexpected Ellen was just a baby - 2011)
I woke up to a new mixtape from Christian, but I cannot share the whole mix, just a 26 song snippet...
My Valentine. My love. My dream date, the only guy for me. I love love love him!!! If I had to choose between all the money in the world and him, I'd choose him. He makes me feel like I can do anything.... my love for him stands firm through little squabbles, big blow ups, and through all the things that have tested it's strength. We have shared so much time with each other, through family losses, huge tragedies, and struggles... for a while there it seemed the universe was really testing us. I temporarily became the guardian to my teenage sister after my dad died. We lost Baby the same year. I lost my special needs goat that same year also. A decade-long friendship came to an end. I had to shoot a wild boar as a last resort when it turned on my mom at the farm - which killing something, like that, really messed with my head... made me realize how fleeting all the "stuff" we have is... how much more important relationships are. He is my one and only and our relationship has survived lots of things.... and it is 100% embedded in true love. TWENTY VALENTINE'S DAYS TOGETHER. Whoa.

He lets me exist in this world to be free like a bird.... I pretty much do what I want, and he supports me in it all. He doesn't expect me to fit into any mold, and expects nothing more from me than to be who I am in that moment in time. All the time. I realize how hard I am to keep up with.... He lets me whiz by him multiple times throughout the day, and I try most evenings to veg out with him and be calm, catching a movie or watching a show...
now on to the good stuff... these biscuits. I usually make mini biscuits - mostly because the batch size I make, either makes either 4 cathead biscuits or 12-14 minis.... these are the best too..
I use 2 Cups GF flour, 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 6-7 tablespoons cold butter (grated), 1/3 C sour cream, and 1/2 C milk.... I bake at 450 until golden, about 7-8 minutes....
I cut them with a knife then shape into small circles so I don't have any waste!
anyway, Happy Valentine's Day!!!!
