What did you cook or eat today (June 2025)?

Squares aren't geometrical?

Not in my math(s), they’re squares. Their own thing. Like circles.

Geometry is reserved for those ridiculous shapes no one uses…rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelolellagram - that last one has 9-1/2 sides.

Well now you’re just employing geometry and that has no place in my kitchen!

Uh, I forgot that circles and squares weren't geometric shapes...LOL

Edit: yeah I didn't read through before posting that.

Best of both worlds, roundish when cooked without the overdone crustier corners.

I rather like crustier corners. It's really nice to have some crusty bits when it's smothered in sausage gravy.

A revelation for a borderline ocd stimmer

ps I'm sure you know what I mean..

Squares, you know the distance between two opposite corners can't be evenly divided since it's an infinite number in length???

I used pi almost every day of my working life. 3.142.
Measuring conveyor belts and drum sizes .

Last night we had family dinner. Crusty garlic bread and smoked chicken fettuccine. Made with our own tomatoes and frozen 2 seasons ago.
Followed by pancakes.

So I made a small test loaf of bread scalding and one of the flour. The dough was more elastic and smoother than I'm used to but not a bad thing. The crumb turned out as expected but the bread was more chewy and seemed more suited to a sweet lean instead of just bread.

Same here figuring motor sheaves and pulleys. Got scary figuring out how fast the outside of the blower motor fan edge was going and it's driven by an 80 HP motor.

I also worked with fenner taper lock pulleys and motors ie 1400 rpm with belt speeds. And reduction gearboxes.

I think about that every time I eat a homemade square biscuit.

Do you own a 6 inch bench vise in your garage.?.

(the buttermilks, here: What did you cook or eat today (June 2025)?)

the crumb/crust/etc was quite nice.
I do need to adjust the quantities to make four full thickness biscuits.
the thicker two (photo top) were rolled to 1/2 inch using wooden dowels - but rolling / folding the 'scraps' didn't want to work at 1/2 inch . . .
the thinner ones tasted same/etc but came off as too thin for their 'purpose'

Square biscuits leave no scraps. I started doing that the last few times I made them.

I never use cutters. I pat biscuits dough into a rectangle about half inch to an inch thick. Then cut into however many rectangle biscuits I want. I don't mess with scraps because there aren't any.

I use a knife. I don't own any cutters, not even cookie cutters. Back when I made round biscuits I used a floured glass rim, lol.
