Kittens' New Bed

A few years ago a friend gave me an old feather bed when she moved [thanks, Sara]. I've been holding on to it for a long while, so today I finally put it to good use and made a pet bed out of it. And most importantly, it's no longer collecting dust in my spare room.

my new drop biscuit recipe

Blend together with a fork 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 4 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp sugar. Cut in with a pastry blender 6 Tbsp butter or shortening. Mix in 1/2 cup of half-n-half and 1/2 cup butter milk (milk + vinegar). Mix well.

Place about 3/4 cup flour on plate. Spoon biscuit dough onto flour, covering completely and shaping into a ball. Make sure to flour fingers for ease of working with dough.

Place biscuit in a greased pie plate and bake at 425* for about 12 minutes.

So easy. So good.

This brown bear will go home with Taylor as a Christmas gift from her uncle. I hope it lasts a long time and becomes a great friend for a sweet little girl.
