let me count the ways

you know im not good at cheese. that's usually me at the left, rolling my eyes at any romantic gesture offered to me. but i fell in love again. giddy, silly, school-girl love. with my husband. we are a perfect match. all the cheese that involves yin/yang, black/white, and any other mushy reference to story book love.

for example, last night we spent about 4 hours of adventurous cooking - together. it was his idea and though this is our 'us time' activity of choice, i am always so excited and surprised when this happens. i so often hear about husbands who when watching the kids always default for pizza and tacos. or those who will only eat the traditional male meal: meat. not to mention the cooking part, i mean he could have been watching 4 hours of hulu while i destroyed the kitchen.

last night we made curried lentils ala Dr. Weil and my dad's honey molasses angel biscuits. all after 7 pm. i completely forgot i was tired as hell and had a week of working nights ahead of me. but we've always had the most fun in the kitchen together and working nights has been extremely hard on the us time so i ate it up.

so with all the provolone, swiss, and cheddar i can muster - oh how i love this man...

Angel Biscuits (makes 2 dozen)
3 tb yeast
1/2 c warm tap water
1 tb molasses
1/4 c honey
2-1/c cups white flour (or 1 wheat 2 white)
1/2 c water
1 tsp salt
5 tb olive oil (or butter i prefer to use olive oil as my fat)

1. Stir yeast into small bowl with 1/2 c warm water. Let sit until yeast gets gassy and frothy.
2. Mix together flour, salt, oil, water, honey, and molasses.
3. Add yeast mixture.
4. Fold out onto floured surface (may need to add a bit more flour so you can roll it).
5. Roll to 1 inch thick (this is very important, too thin and you'll have crackers).
6. Let rise 20 minutes.
7. Bake at 400 20 to 30 min until golden brown.
