Having a night out tonight and it's not even the weekend!!!

It's very rarely we go out at night through the week, but it's the annual Drawing for Art fundraiser tonight.  Here is a link to this years choices.  Both dd and I want the same painting, go to page 5 it's the one by Sarah Shaw with the poppies on it.  We have both come to an agreement, whose ever name gets drawn first can have it, no hard feelings, as there are others that we both don't mind having.


Here is last years pick and here is the year before's pick.


Managed to get some more weeding done, so slowly and surely all the flower beds are coming together.  We still have snow but I live in hope it will be gone by the weekend.  We had some damage to a couple of trees from the storm at the beginning of the week:

Cindy always has some great recipes on her blog, and on Tuesday she had a recipe for Cottage Cheese Biscuits.  As I had some cottage cheese that needed to be used up I thought I'd give them a go:


Cottage Cheese Biscuits:

2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp margarine or butter
Mix until crumbly &; set aside

In separate bowl....1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup cubed old cheddar cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup milk

Add cheese mixture to flour mixture, just until blended. If to wet add a little flour. Pat onto floured board and cut into biscuits 1/2 in thickness. bake at 425F for 10-12 min.....don't crowd on cookie sheet.

Now as always I slightly changed mine.  I grated/shredded the cheddar cheese, as cubing seemed to be fiddly.  I used half and half instead of milk, cream would also work.  I also crushed the biscuits with half and half before popping them in the oven to brown the tops.
