I've heard of folks doing that, especially with soda bread bisquit mixes. 
(umm, biscuit?  busquit?  darn, got me again but you know what I mean!).

It is good but I got lazy and didnt make it yet.  I was looking over recipes
and was pondering a lite wheat-white when I noted I am out of honey (most of
my recipes call for that).  I dont want to get more honey or any brown sugar
as our usage is too low to use it up now.

I told Don to stop shopping and i'll get all the grocery stuff from here out. 
I'm not buying anything but fresh fruit and veggies at this stage, until I
filter out all the cabinets and such.

Yes, it does.  I'll miss this place but the neighborhood i left is pretty good
too.  We do alot of neighborhood BBQs there and sometimes, block parties.

I'll miss Jimmy James, who died about 2004.  He was our next door neighbor on
the right side.  He took all our flotsam when we moved here, for the church
and loaned us a TV etc for those last few nights before we flew out.

My other neighbor (also a Jim) on the left, is still there though his wife's
health is failing.  She had heart problems before we left and we hope she is
feeling as best as can be.  We've not heard from them for the past 6 months so
know little more.  Jimmy James's daughter (a nurses aide) may be living next
door now and she's a dear lady.  I know Jimmy left everything to her, so that
would be the house as well.

One of the first things we'd do on getting settled in, is put a bench back
under the tree in our front yard.  A little gathering spot for us all...  I
had 2 matched benches there and a little swing under the tree.  Flower pot
containers about it.
