Isn't the morning light unusual?
I usually eat breakfast long before the sun is up, but longer days + today's bank holiday bring you the above photo. I thought it would be fun to have a fresh, fluffy Bisquick (American) biscuit with my breakfast, but it didn't rise at all and wound up being like a flat, unsweetened scone. Bah. I liked the little heart I cut from the extra dough, though.
Off to have some bank holiday fun in a country that's hard at work!
p.s. -- Because it's bound to be mentioned in some local/regional news story soon, you can say I was the first person to bring it to your attention: Dude, what's up with all the robins? I can hardly take the dog for a walk without tripping over a small army of American robins every fifteen feet. Is it the weather? The worm population? What's going on?
yum! i love the little heart too!

Just wanted to say a BIIIG thank you for the zippered pouch tutorial you have on your site! I used it to install my first zipper into my first homemade bag! You made it very easy! Thanks so much!

Really? Robins? Maybe it's just your part of town because I *never* see robins around here..just plain ol' sparrows and the occasional bunny.

Robins! It's spring!
I love your ability to make something beautiful even if it doesn't taste perfect haha :)
PS - I've tagged you here

The robins are flocking in the dozens, both here and near my parents. WAY more than the usual spring influx!
Rani -- The biscuit tasted just as it was supposed to; I was just disappointed it didn't rise or go golden brown!
