You put what in the biscuits?

Yesterday my oldest daughter had a hankerin' for biscuits. We've been having lunch later and later in the day for some reason and it was about 1:30 p.m. when she came and asked me if she could make some biscuits. I was surprised to see that it was so late in the day and told her I just didn't have enough time to make biscuits, we need to eat pretty quick. "Oh, I'll make them, you don't have to," was her response. "Well, okay, as long as you clean up your mess when you're done. And that means wash all the dishes you've dirtied, not just pile them up in the sink," I said. "Yes, Mom," she replied with that look of long-suffering on her face. So I went and heated up some leftovers for myself and my younger daughter and left my oldest to work on the biscuits. After I was done eating, I glanced into the kitchen and noticed about 6 cookbooks spread out all over our flour-coated kitchen counters. "Did you have trouble finding a recipe you liked?" I asked. "Yes, I did. Almost all of them had cream of tartar in them!" she said. Confused, I said, "What's wrong with cream of tartar?" "Oh, I don't like that stuff" Now more confused, I asked for clarification, "What do you mean you don't like that stuff? What do you not like about it?" I was pretty sure my daughter had never even used cream of tartar before and I was wondering how she could have formed such a strong opinion about it already. She clarified, "I don't like any of that stuff: cream of celery, cream of mushroom, or cream of tartar."  After I gained control of myself and quit laughing, I explained that while I don't really know what cream of tartar is, it's nothing at all like cream of celery or cream of mushroom. Here is a picture of the wonderful, no-cream-of-tartar biscuits that we enjoyed with dinner last night. They were delicious!  |
