Welcome
Hi Everybody,Fall weather is quite pleasant this year with its sunny days that are still relatively warm and inviting. It's so tempting to set aside the computer work and go for a walk in the woods among the colorful fallen leaves. It's a beautiful time of the year.
There's a small brown squirrel who likes to run along the old rail fence in our back yard while carrying little crabapples in his mouth. It's a lot of fun to watch his antics and if I stamp my foot, he will sometimes set his load down and chatter loudly at me. Perhaps it's best that I can't understand squirrel talk. ;-)
In Canada, we celebrated our Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October. However, for those of you who live in the United States, the American Thanksgiving is yet to be celebrated since it falls on the fourth Thursday of November. This is the last holiday weekend before Christmas, so be sure to enjoy it. Have a look at the old-time Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes featured on the website. You are sure to find something you like.
Why not get outside, and enjoy what's left of the nice Fall weather by going on a spur-of-the-moment walk either by yourself or with a close friend? Take some of the pinwheel biscuits featured as this month's old-time recipe and have a mini-picnic. You deserve some quality time!
Thank you for visiting my site.
Till next time,
Don

This issue features an old favorite of mine, Pinwheel Biscuits. Mom often used this old recipe of Grandma's to make delicious dessert biscuits to take to family get-togethers, or to serve at Thanksgiving and other festive occasions. Though the recipe calls for a filling of chopped raisins and citron, she often substituted small whole raisins, and/or sometimes chopped walnuts.Pinwheel Biscuits Recipe
Two cups of flour, quarter teaspoonful salt, four teaspoonfuls baking powder, two teaspoonfuls butter, three-quarters cup milk, roll batter one-fourth inch thick, spread with two tablespoonfuls melted butter after rolling, then spread on a mixture of two tablespoonfuls sugar, one-half teaspoonful cinnamon, one-third cup chopped raisins and citron, roll like jelly roll, cut off in slices, spread with softened butter and bake. Pin wheel biscuits are delicious.And a bonus...
Here's an easy tea biscuit recipe. Tea biscuits are delicious when eaten warm from the oven with butter or your favorite jelly preserve. Make some today!
Sweet Tea Biscuit Recipe
