Three good things from your day

[grainweevil]

You may think I'm insane and possibly I am, but I was buying kielbasa sausages for my family of herring gulls. I ran out a couple of weeks ago. They get the odd leftover - not that there are many of them - but they sit outside the kitchen window channeling guilt at me. At least they don't bite like your parrots.

Bet they do if you got close enough. Ruddy seagulls have been hanging round here recently, and I swear it's because they're checking out the coastal towns and meeting back up in the middle (here) to ask each other if any of them's seen anyone eating chips or a pasty. Must be playing havoc with their diet not having any tourists to mug. Anyway, had to look up kielbasa sausages, so learnt something there. Rather surprised as I sort of assumed they'd be fishy!

The honey snap biscuits sound delish.

1.) Took a walk up the street to a local park. There was a loon on the large pond there.

2.) After two days of rain, our peas and onions are sprouting.

3.) Began to journal the virus pandemic as it affects us. It requires a rather extensive backstory. What fun, factorial

[Sailor Kenshin]

1. Got going on eBook #2.

2. Two-ingredient cheese biscuits.





3. From yesterday when it wasn't raining, Vortex-grilled chicken thighs with green beans and mac n' cheese sides.

1. Touchdown signature arrived with Hella-smooth nib. Glad to finally have an example of this filling mechanism.

2. Chili cheese dogs for dinner was quite a treat

3. Walk down the block with my daughter.

Call from a usually non-communicative cousin this evening, and my aunt and uncle's sheltered housing/care home remains virus-free, as are all her siblings' families.

Thought how lucky we were to be able to feast on tomatoes and beetroot from the UK, sugar snap peas from Egypt, and courgettes from Spain. And that I didn't have to make the quiche to go with them!

Finally had confirmation that the wine ordered for my dad has "officially" been lost instead of just lost lost, and it's being re-sent with a bonus bottle to make up for the delay.

Bonus item: Glad we have this thread in amongst the insanity. It's helpful to make the effort to appreciate the good things, even though every post from Sailor makes me hungry...

2. Two-ingredient cheese biscuits.

I'd love to have this recipe. I'm sure others would as well

Here you are! This makes more than merely cheese biscuits, but we haven't tried the other recipes yet.

Two-ingredient drop biscuits.

I added a teaspoon of sugar to cut down on the heavy sourdough taste.

I admit I was scratching my head trying to figure out how you were making biscuits with only two ingredients. I kept thinking: you need flour, a leavening agent, a shortening/fat, and a liquid. Self-rising flour and yogurt combines those four into two. Not a bad idea.

That's fantastic! Thanks so much, SK. With my wife and daughter both at home 24/7 (and craving carbs most of the time), I'm cooking a lot more and more often. This will definitely help provide some variety.

1. I made a start on organising our books
2. I drew a rainbow and put it in our window in support of NHS and Key Workers

I Know now exactly what, and how many, botanical watercolor books I have;

Have donne some sketches.

It's not quite the same as the start of the domestic cricket season, but enjoyed the re-broadcast of TMS from the fourth day of the third test from last year. Nothing says summer like Test Match Special.

The power going out multiple times this afternoon prevented me putting my feet up and wasting time watching the box, so made some chocolate Easter nests instead.

J-bar arrived for the restoration of the Esterbrook Dollar. Just hope I ordered the correct size.

1. Beautiful snow outside
2. Wonderful homemade corn chowder for supper

[Hazaddum]

1. Awesome weather outside. Usually I am not into sunny weather but today it fits my mood perfectly.
2. Won the first giveaway I have ever taken part in. Quite unexpectedly! Got great CS GO skins https://skin.club/en/cases/free-case
3. At last got the time to tidy up my flat. Postponed it constantly but then put myself together and did it. Now feel like a hero

[fountainpagan]

I have started painting my kitchen's cupboards -

It is a beautiful sunny day;

Finished a book, and while reading had my cats and dogs, sound asleep, on the bed with me. Bliss!!!!

[VertOlive]

1. Managed to get two coats of primer over the Ancient Terra Cotta Mud color on our living room walls. AND finally settled on the Perfect Paint Color.

2. Ordered fabric with which to make coordinating draperies.

3. Best for last: my Hand Pan Drum in B minor arrived Monday and I’ve been playing it non-stop when I can. Love. This. Instrument.

[Sailor Kenshin]

1. Day 2,357 of House Arrest and we still haven't strangled one another.

2. Lucky enough to get a food delivery slot. And it worked out pretty well.

[VertOlive]

Best news in just forever.

1.The breeder I’ve been waiting on since last November finally has a Scottish Terrier puppy for me.

2. He should be ready to come home by my birthday in July.

3. Starting the looong list of puppy names. Suggestions welcome!

Scottish Terriers deserve Scottish names: How about Angus, Archie or Argyle
