Welcome to our fast-growing thread, Carol! Have some ice cream!
JennyC:
Since when offering ice cream became our secret welcome code here? I must have missed it. :)
Ok I have a silly but serious question from a bakery challenged person. Where or rather which brand of biscuits dough I should buy to make those yummy biscuits? I like the biscuits at KFC, I have tried the Butter Milk biscuit dough I can find at grocery store, but they taste nothing like KFC biscuits. I know Leslie has posted a Biscuit recipe, but I can not manage anything more than putting dough on a sheet and in the oven. So any suggestion?

Carol - I don't believe that for one second!
;D
(You might never say much, but I bet you have a lot to say... reminds me of a certain taciturn cowboy, as portrayed by a certain handsome man...)
But don't worry if you don't want to say much, we all know silence is golden... (sometimes I mix up my cliches, I hope that one is right) Anyhow, I'd love to listen to anything you have to say. ;)

Go to the grocery store, to the dairy section, and look for the bicuits in the tubes. That's what Ennis and Ellery are eating. They only get homemade biscuits when Edna or Alma Jr. bake them.
Since I have not gone to the grocery store since I saw BBM (I am NOT making this up) I have forgotten the brand names, but I believe there is a very generic "Pillsbury Doughboy" brand biscuit. I think the can makes 10 of them. Then there are Hungry Jack biscuits and they come in, I dunno, traditional and flaky? Something like that. I believe there are only 6 in can for those, because the biscuits are bigger.
Some people hate these these biscuits in a can, but to be honest, I don't think they are bad. When you have young children and you are trying to make a home cooked dinner---with two parents who work--you take shortcuts. These are a good way to have something hot and semi-homemade....as opposed to bringing home dinner in a bag from McDonald's. I think there is someone on FoodTV who does this...presents menus with one or two fully homecooked items and then shortcuts the other stuff. I usually cook the main course (meat or a vegetarian entree) and a vegetable, shortcut the rest: biscuits, bread, other starch (rice), things for dessert (although we rarely eat dessert) but when we do...ice cream, cookies, pie, usually in that order.
To be honest, the more likely dessert around here is to have a little bit of good quality chocolate...with a glass of wine. Now that is my idea of heaven!

So I voted for Hugh Jackman early on, but I was never 100% convinced, UNTIL NOW! My goodness our Ellery is a fine man.
