Some say it's too much. And, by some I mean me. Is it too much Ivy Levan in two weeks? I want the answer to be yes and then she's so flawless that I feel no guilt. As usual I was struggling with what to write about for Tasty Tuesday. And, then an unidentified flying biscuit hit me in the face.
I was listening to Ivy Levan's “Biscuit”. AGAIN. Because, it's just so good and I was jamming, trying to figure out what I was going to do. Then, I realized. What is the title of this song |
What is also a food product?
Biscuits.
Granted the only other one I can think of is “Holy Water”. That's a Madonna song and just as sacrilegious as you would imagine. I definitely think that Rihanna's “Cockiness” counts. At some point she says “I love it when you eat it”. What is he eating? Probably not the box of chocolates he bought his girl on Valentine's Day.
I have no answer as to why a biscuit is a metaphor for the vagina. Someone who is more creative then me can leave a comment and explain it to us all. Preferably an English major. You all know what's up when it comes to bull shitting imagery.
For the most part I exist on carbohydrates alone. Any type of bread you can think of. I was at lunch today and this girl showed me something that said “*flirting* What kind of bread do you like?” And I was like me and she was like me. And together we both realized we were meant to be with each other for the rest of our lives. Except not. |
For the first time in at least a solid month all of the recipes I'm putting down are real Bubble Righted tested and approved. I enjoy the bread products and shout out to me for baking once in a great while. Sometimes you just got to make your own bread products. There are desperate times.
Bake safely. Do not burn the house down. And in the words of RuPaul:
Baking Powder Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it lightly 10 times. Roll the dough to ½ inch thickness and cut with a round cookie cutter, placing the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove the biscuits from the baking sheet immediately and serve warm.
