My favorite biscuits to make are just two ingredients - whipping cream and self rising flour. (Probably similar in taste to these: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/how-to/how-to-make-cream-biscuits-in-less-than-15-minutes-kitchen-home-hacks-109151 ) I never measure, just mix whipping cream into flour until the dough looks right, so I can easily make 2 or 20. I also never roll and cut them, just making drop biscuits instead. They can be sweet or savory with add-ins like honey or cheddar. I've never tried lemon, though - these sound delicious!

I was wondering if you've thought of trying a more objective measure of how well you sleep. Maybe you could set up a video camera overnight and watch it (at 10x speed) to see how much you toss and turn.

As it is, I don't really find these posts very helpful, although it would be difficult for this "experiment" to be helpful to anyone but you in the first place, given differences in sleep style, size, etc.

I have a set of these from World Market. The color gradation is much nicer in person than in the pictures. My partner likes them so much that he uses one as a cereal bowl.

I'm definitely making French onion soup this weekend!

ChrisGal, I completely agree with you about Rosemary's Baby! I also love Michael Showalter's apartment in The Baxter.

The woman learning the "faux bois" technique is, I believe, Kay Gardiner of Mason-Dixon Knitting. My worlds have collided!
