I love my carbs, and high on the list is fresh bread. When I need a quick fix, I bake half a batch of flakey, fluffy, delicious biscuits. And when I'm baking them for myself, I like them to be misshapen. The reason is simple: the more you work biscuit dough, the tougher your biscuits become. So I don't shape these and cut them into rounds or squares, I just scoop out the dough with a large spoon and let them be whatever shape they want to be, and they always have an especially airy interior.

Biscuits are a treat, so they need to be balanced with a little self control. I present, the green salad. Simple, fresh greens with celery, cucumbers, and red onions.

Dessert was grapes and blueberries. I'm being healthy now in anticipation of Saturday's party, which is going to be a fat fest.

Just kidding. I still had bacon with dinner. How could I resist? Bacon is the perfect topping for salad.
