DID YOU KNOW?
That the average interest on a savings account,is 1% or less, yet that same bank will loan out your money and charge a "lenders interest" of 17%to 21%.
That a new born puppy is a "psychological blank slate", and that by the time they are 6 months old they will have learned most of what they will learn in their lives personality wise. Also by six months they "should have learned to sit, stay,be quiet, fetch and be completely housebroke. Science tells us that a baby is born a " psychological blank slate" and that their personality is formed by the time they reach age six. How many children do you know who by age six, let alone six months will actually behave on command?(Throw out Dr Spock and pick up a "puppy housebreaking"manual....can't hurt!)
That the person you hear on the "lawyers" commercial saying :I'm free, I'm free, is going to cost you the money they owed and a "lawyer" helped them NOT to pay.These businesses have to make up the losses somehow, so if the deadbeats don't pay, you get the bill in higher prices at the registers. There really is no such thing as a free lunch!

Blueberry recipe contest
My oldest grandaughter Emmy and I came up with these biscuits. They taste like a cross between a blueberry bagel and blueberry muffin. And they are super easy and quick!
Blueberry Citrus Biscuits
1 cup self rising flour
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup frozen blueberries
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp. lemon extract
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cream shortening and sugar. Stir in flour. Stir in milk and lemon extract, making sure all is blended well.Lastly add in the blueberries.Give the dough (should be moist without being sticky)a few good kneads on a floured surface, and then roll the dough to a 1/2 inch thick. Cut into biscuits, and place on an ungreased pan.Bake for 15-20 minutes (all ovens are different)
A few hints:
1- once you add the liquid, be gentle. roughing it up at this point will only make the biscuits tough.
2-Place leftover (if there are any) biscuits in a bread bag. Will last several days.
3- I double the recipe, and place half of the raw biscuits on a sheet pan, cover it with a towel and place in the freezer for several hours. After they are frozen place in a zip lock freezer bag. They last up to a month in the freezer this way. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, place frozen biscuits on an ungreased pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes.They taste fresh baked because they are!
Eat well and be happy!
