"Who could ever weary of moonlit nights and well-cooked rice?"
__Japanese proverb
"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli
"Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work
in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

Maple Biscuits
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons bakin' powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, chilled not softened
1/3 cup whole milk
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 375�.
2) Pour melted butter and maple syrup into a 9" cake pan,
swirlin' it around to combine.
3) In a mixin' bowl, stir together the flour, bakin' powder, and salt.
4) Cut in the cold butter, then mix, usin' you fingers,
'til the dough has the consistency of soft bread crumbs.
5) Stir in the milk.
6) Turn the dough out and knead it gently, just 'til it holds together.
7) Pat dough to 1/2" thickness, then cut into 9 biscuits.
8) Arrange the biscuits in the cake pan on top of the butter
and syrup mixture.
9) Bake for twelve to fifteen minutes,
'til the syrup bubbles and the biscuits are lightly browned.
10) Serve hot, straight from the pan.
and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
