...sometimes the bear eats you.

He Said:

Most of the food that we have been cooking for this project has been 'very good' to 'pretty darn great'. Note the word 'most'. Yesterday morning I decided to make an additional dish while I waited for the rest of the day's ingredients to show up. With much anticipation, I chose to make Skillet Scallion Biscuits from 'Cast Iron Cooking' by Dwayne Ridgeway. I was really excited about making these. First, skillet? Scallion? Biscuits? Hello??? How great does that sound? Second, I have been really stoked to improve my cast iron skillet-ing. Third, the picture in the book looks absolutely scrumpdillyicious. These must be super-great! So I pulled out my favorite 10 incher (Oh, stop giggling. It's a skillet, you perv) and began preparing what I knew were going to be awesome biscuits.

They weren't.

Maybe I messed something up. Too much flour? Too little baking powder? I don't know. I do know that I cooked them a little too long. And in the end, they were flat, hard, overcooked, tasteless little hockey pucks. I mean, I still ate one or two but that was just because I didn't want to hurt my own feelings. You know how I get. I'd give you the recipe but I don't want you to actually make them and then get mad at me. I'll spare us both the humiliation.

You're welcome.
