I was going to take a university or college course every year. Not necessarily towards any goal, but just to keep learning.
That never happened. I've taken the odd Excel course or "How to Write a Mission Statement" and some adult Sunday School classes. But that's it.
It doesn't mean I never learn anything new though. I went to Calgary a few weeks ago and stayed in a house that always smells of good food (you know who you are!). And I learned one simple thing that I should have known long ago.
"Don't mix the biscuit dough too much or it'll get tough". Why didn't I know that? I know that about muffins.
This is what I know how to make now.
Fluffy, almost puff-pastry biscuits. And it's easier than making the tough biscuits I used to make.
Now you may have learned something new in your adult life too. Unless you are my Calgary friend with the lovely smelling house. She already knew this.

I learned both knitting and spinning as a grownup! I tell my kids if you can read you can learn anything - you just gotta find a book that explains it, then have the courage to try whatever it is.
Your biscuits look yummy. :)
yumm.... post the recipe!! My biscuits are okay, but certainly not flaky like that!!
AJC: And I admire you for that!
Bon: There you go. Another post in the same day!
Thanks Ev! It looks oddly the same as my biscuits but I will try the tricks that you mentioned.... either way, it's not like there's a crumb left over with my hockey puck biscuits.... they're really just a carrier for the butter after all! :-)
they look pretty darn special....
hey we're not far away.... I'm in Calgary too ......and today...my house smells like eggnog loaf ...
