"Surviving NYC"

Thanks to Andy I have been getting really into Judd Apatow's shows.  First we watched "Freaks and Geeks."  And now we are watching "Undeclared. " So I was super excited when this new show trailer for Apatow's latest, "Girls" showed up in my Facebook feed.  Check it out...

Girls premieres on HBO April 15th!

Sunday Baking

Made biscuits this morning.  I used the basic recipe but modified it a bit to suit what I had on-hand

2 3/4 cups brown rice flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Combine ingredients in a bowl.  In a separate bowl gently combine

3 ounces of your favourite grated cheese with
8 tablespoons of cold cubed butter.

 It is best to divide the tablespoons in half before gently mixing into the grated cheese.  Add the flour mixture to the cheese and butter, again coarsely mixing.

Now the recipe calls for 3/4 cup buttermilk, which I love but didn't have so instead  I used,

 1 cup of Greek yogurt and
2 tablespoons of soy milk.

 I slowly poured the yogurt and milk into the flour and cheese and gently combine.  Roll the dough onto a floured surface.  Add extra milk, one tablespoon at a time if needed. form the dough into a rectangle and slice with a knife in 1 1/2 inch thick pieces.

Place your biscuits onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven.

For the last ten minutes I added extra grated cheese to the top of the biscuits.  They should be golden brown.  Serve immediately!

Weekend Arrangements

Spring has arrived at the Cedarvale Cottage, in the form of wild white roses, white lilies, hyacinth and spring greenery.

Lauren's roses and lilies are opening.

For the larger living room arrangement I added onto the theme with a big beautiful hydrangea, and those gorgeous white cranberries.  I also used larger yellow lilies for this arrangement.  

A small snapped stem makes a perfect bathroom bouquet.  One small stem of yellow lilies, and a rose set in a quirky shot glass will keep the bathroom smelling fresh all week.
