Lately I've been just in general out of kilter.

I'm now unclear whether it was before or after my head
was fixed, but I was asked by the surgical team if I knew
where I was, and after a tentative suggestion of London I
admitted that I had no idea, which is probably the second
best answer.

On a normal day I might have difficulty identifying what
day, date, or month I am living in. Or the city. Name and
hotel and airline membership I can generally get right.

Strawberry shortcakes
cat: dessert, airline
servings: 12

3 to 4 pt strawberries, hulled and quartered lengthwise
2 to 4 Tb sugar
1 to 2 Tb lemon juice
1 c heavy cream
h - For the Biscuits
2 c plus 2 Tb flour
1/4 c sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 Tb baking powder
1 ts salt
1 1/2 c heavy cream

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with
parchment paper. Place berries in bowl and sprinkle
with sugar and lemon juice to taste. Stir gently,
then let stand until some syrup forms, at least
30 min. Whip cream to soft peaks, and refrigerate
until serving.

Make the biscuits: In a bowl, stir flour, sugar,
baking powder, and salt. Use fork to make a well in
dry ingredients and pour in cream. Working from
center toward bowl edge, use fork to stir dry
ingredients into cream until just blended. The
dough will be sticky and lumpy. Using large spoon,
scoop dough portions the size of small lemons onto
prepared pan. You should have 12 biscuits. Sprinkle
tops with sugar. Bake until lightly golden,
15 to 17 min. Let cool for at least 15 min on pan,
then slice in half horizontally. Biscuits are best
served within a couple of hours of baking, but may
be refreshed in hot oven. Or freeze some unbaked
for another time (bake frozen biscuits for 30 min).

Assemble the shortcakes: Just before serving, place
biscuit bottoms, cut side up, in individual bowls,
top with strawberries, some syrup, and whipped cream,
and then biscuit tops. Surround with more berries
