I got a hankering for biscuits and gravy....I actually used a recipe - this one has sour cream and an egg....strange!   They turned out fabulous - really light and fluffy sortof like a Bojangles biscuit.

 Recipe from the Butter with a Side of Bread blog:



To make Sour Cream Biscuits, you’ll need:
–1 egg
–1 cup sour cream
–1 TBSP sugar
–1/4 cup butter
–2 cups all purpose flour
–1 tsp baking powder
–1/2 tsp baking soda
–3/4 tsp salt

To make Homemade Biscuits, first you’ll need to preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8×8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Crack egg in a bowl and beat with a fork. Add the sour cream and sugar.
Grate the cold butter into the mixing bowl. Grating butter is a super fast way to mix small chunks of butter into the dough without taking time to roll the dough multiple times. As a matter of fact, you don’t roll the dough out at all with this recipe! Add in the remaining dry ingredients and stir just until mixed. Dough will be sticky.

Lightly flour a counter top and use a rubber scraper to scrape the dough out from the bowl. Sprinkle some additional flour on top and lightly knead a few times. Shape it into a mound and pat dough out to  1″ thickness. I just use my hands!
Spray biscuit cutters with non-stick spray. If you don’t have cutters, you can use the open end of a cup, canning jar rings or simply cut them with a knife and form balls. Cut dough to form 9 biscuits. If you have leftover dough, divide it up, pat each piece flat and place it on the underside of each of the 9 biscuits.

Place the biscuits in the greased pan with the sides of the biscuits almost or barely touching. Pat the tops down slightly so that they’re smoother on top. Bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Serve warm topped with our Strawberry Freezer Jam. Yum!
Yields 9 biscuits. For more roll-like biscuits, add an extra egg!

And then I realized I was about out of bread, so made another loaf.  

Other than that, we didn't get much accomplished.  Did a good bit of reading on our Kindles.

After dinner on What If, they had an appointment with a  buyer for their old 2 cycle dinghy motor.  It was in good shape but was a bit underpowered for their dinghy.  Also, they are planning to upgrade to a motor like ours with electric start and power tilt.  (We're spoiled!!)

They had told their buyer that he must come wearing a mask and he complied.

That was about all the excitement for the evening!
