I thought there was an archive of older postings

19 years ago

I have a copy of Cream Biscuits recipe and wanted to see if there were any corrections to it but cannot find it. It was dated 2/9/07, not too old I think but Cooking Forum seems to be so popular that posts a few months old are no longer here. I thought I remember going into archived postings before but I cannot find the link.

Here it is. A Google search turns up people's clippings, if they are public, and someone had clipped this one.

RE: Heavy Cream

posted by: robinkateb on 02.09.2007 at 02:45 pm in Cooking Forum

I just made the Test Kitchen recipe for biscuits and it uses 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream. They were the best biscuits I have ever had. You could make 2 batches and freeze them. Then when you want them with a meal just thaw and warm the correct number. Or you could just whip it and eat it ;-)

Cream Biscuits

2 cups all purpose flour + extra for the counter for dusting
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups heavy salt

1. Adjust oven rack to the upper middle position and preheat to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in the cream with a wooden spoon until the dough forms (about 30 seconds). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured counter and knead until smooth (about 30 seconds)

2. pat the dough into a 3/3 inch thick circle. Cut the biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or 8 wedges using a knife. Place on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Notes: I used my new dough whisk to mix it. I used a smaller biscuit cutter for some of them and it was fine.

Sorry, I posted without reading carefully enough. I see now that you do have the recipe.

If you use the internal GardenWeb uploader which does one pic per post (not per thread, but per post) then if you don't have an external hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket, the pictures will always remain in the post. However, if you do post pictures from Flickr or Photobucket albums, should you ever DELETE those albums, the picture is removed from GardenWeb as well. The HTML code we use to upload from say Flickr to here is merely a marker to the actual location, and that's why we have blanks in some threads where once lovely images appeared. It is the one thing that keeps me from changing from Flickr, which is undergoing the reorganization and change of focus since Yahoo bought it. Likewise, I use Yahoo mail, and it is a real pain in the derriere what they are doing to my email! I get so tired of them tinkering with something that is NOT BROKEN. Plus, I am really horrified that websites keep trying to force me to sign in with Facebook or Twitter, when I try to stay far far away from those sites. It is "group think" and I do not intend to expose my life to such invasions of privacy. The latest Firefox upgrade did something to my "default" apps/programs to play music or sound, and I was very puzzled suddenly not to do slide shows and such. Perhaps it is the latest Firefox upgrade, Berndny, which you too ran afoul of. I fixed my problem by changing from Windows Media Player to the Quicktime Player built into Firefox. Having to think about the background operations of the system is really frustrating, when all I want to do is ignore the system and enjoy the material. Seamless is good, forget the rest.

1st Post - Building an addition on an older home
Q
Comments (5)
We did a large addition in 2008 (added about 1050 sq feet, gutted the kitchen and 3 bathrooms, added a new FR, mudroom/laundry, and master bedroom and bath, refinished floors, etc.) FWIW, here's the thought process we did when we started: If our house is worth approximately X and an addition costs about Y, then let's look at homes for sale in our neighborhood in the X+Y price range. Well, there weren't any (we love our neighborhood and didn't want to go more than a few blocks away.) We also knew our house would need some updating if we were to put it on the market. So we moved forward with our addition, which was pretty costly, at least for us (well over $200/sq ft which I think is normal for this area, at least in '08.) For us it has been very worth it because our house suits us so much better now and we are here for the long term. We worked with our local bank on the loan. There were 2 options we considered: one was a lower rate, but we would have been responsible for doing all the payments to the builders. The second was a slightly higher rate (or fee or something), but the bank did the payouts to the builder, and made the builder hit certain milestones and provide some information (like receipts and proof of paying subs) before getting payments. For us, this was worth it - kind of a safety net. So, I'd recommend setting up a meeting with your banker to talk through different options and expectations with them. That might help you set a ballpark budget, too, and give you a reality check on what they're willing to loan. You may know this already, but for me it was part of the learning process: We had a plan drawn up by an architect and submitted it for bid to a few places that we had interviewed multiple times and really liked (all had local references that we checked.) Well, 2 of the builders are design/build firms and won't bid on plans other than their own. This made it very hard to compare apples to apples, and it put one of our top 2 choices out of the running. (They do beautiful work but are on the pricey side, which is why we wanted to do a comparable bid.) So anyway, if you're interviewing builders that's something to keep in mind.

Mikie's suggestion is a good one. Go ahead and download one of the free firewalls recommended, but hold off on installing. I'm assuming you download to a special folder or to your desktop. When you are ready to install ZA or Comodo, go to Control Panel and open Security Center. Scroll down to "Manage Security Settings. . ." and click on Windows Firewall. There you can turn it off (not recommended by MS). Then install the other firewall that you downloaded. Once you do that, then the Security Center will show that you have a firewall enabled.

Is this it? This is jjam who repainted her railing black, not the stairs themselves. Result pictures are at the end. Hope this helps. Interesting to note that when I did a search on GW, this post didn't come up. But I thought it was jjam, so I put "jjam black" into the yahoo search engine and it came up a few links down. Interesting! Here is a link that might be useful: jjam's painted railing

The GW search is very very broad, and when you come up with about 6 or 7 What's For Dinner threads when you are looking for a recipe, it may take a lot of reading to find all the notes/ opinions people have added. Good luck!

waybackmachine.com stores quite a few old pages of the cooking forum; worth a search.

I copied the recipe at the time it was posted. If there are any correction or notes to a recipe posted in the thread I add those to the bottom of the page. I looked at this recipe and there are no additional notes, so there probably weren't any.

Waybackmachine.com? Thanks Mitchi. I thought I had found it through GW but not sure now. The reason I asked the question is that the last visible page of posts was just Feb this year which was startling to me. This is certainly a popular forum.

Mitch, what did you search for at waybackmachine? I couldn't find any GW pages.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.thathomesite.com

this is where I got the pages, but it's loading very slowly , I'll try later; they said the server stopped responding so the problem might be on their side.
I accessed with no problems last year; no pages for 2006 and 07 though.

Here is a link that might be useful: wayback machine

I think maybe the 1 1/2 cups of heavy salt called for in the Cream Biscuit recipe should be modified?
