Beautiful. Biscotti are one of my favorites to make. So versatile.

I see a walnut in there. What else did you use?

Plums and tomatoes do it too. Throw em in a paper bag with what you want to ripen.

Just wanted to comment in support of the original answer. The person is exactly right.

If audiobooks ever become a thing for the kid, nothing beats Anonamouse.

He’s 13. I was surprised. He’s liked Nintendo platformers, but otherwise hasn’t been very interested in metroidvania/platformers really. He didn’t get into Dead Cells at all.

I didn’t like it, but my kid LOVED it.

Yea, they’re a real bummer to shape without the pan. I’m glad my post inspired you! If you’re doing scones, I would highly recommend the other scone recipe I posted. FAR FAR easier to shape and no pan really needed at all.

But boy are blueberry scones delicious.

great point. i added links.

Figure I can’t complain about content if I don’t start posting content.

My family and I played a switch 2 for this first time at pax this weekend and none of us were impressed.

There were a lot of big games that just weren’t my type of games. The line for Resident Evil was 2 hours the entire show. Nintendo was showing Pokemon and Kirby and the lines were nightmares. I think that PAX Rising was the best I’ve seen though. All of them were interesting, and some of them I would buy right now half broken if they released them early access. Blocks for Babies, Never’s End, Rollergirl, and Arcane Eats were all fun ideas. Rollergirl’s world change based on your music choices felt really great.

The gameplay of 2 was really fun. Jack and Claptrap did talk way too much.

I thought their booth was kinda boring.

My theme has been “the most food for the least work that tastes good enough”. I usually make a ziti like this (but fancier), but I thought I’d try this one. It’s killer. I’ll make this again anytime I have teenagers in the house. Virtually any pasta shape would work and the ingredients are relatively cheap and good lord is there a ton of it.

tldr im cooking for an army of people and if i do it ahead of time i dont have to do it when i get back when im exhausted

Absolutely. I think you could dress this one up really easily and turn it into something really great, but that defeats the purpose of it being a very neutral food with very neutral flavors when it’s being served to kids who like it neutral.

It’s just that it makes a fast bake even faster. Unless you remember your ratios every time (I don’t), you gotta pull it all out and weigh it to bake. Self rising flour basically takes a shake of the container to evenly distribute and that’s it. You add beer and nothing else and you get great beer bread. You add cream and you have biscuits.

Like I said I don’t have it in my house, but I bake with it at the cafe I work at and it allows us to have something on the menu for less than $2 because it costs like no time at all and you can just use whatever space there is in the oven.

Sorry.

I have a love hate relationship with self rising flour. I already keep like 6 different flours in the house (more if you count stuff like semolina) and every time I find myself cooking with self rising, I gain a pound. The cafe I work at makes a beer bread with self rising flour that’s fabulous (for the basically zero work it takes) and I’m afraid if it’s too easy to make in my own house then I’ll make it every day. Then again, we’re talking about biscuits so it’s not like I’ve got good standing on healthy food here to begin with.

I’ll try that recipe.

That looks much better and much better for you. Thanks, I’m gonna swap out my recipe for that one.
