Tall, fluffy, flaky, brown on the top and soft in the middle BISCUITS!

Equipment:

• a good sharp cutter for making dough rounds neat
• fine sifter
• food processor (optional) or wisk (and strong arms)
• mixing bowl

Tips:

• use fresh baking powder: old won't rise

• ditto for the buttermilk. use real buttermilk

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup chilled butter

...it's to 50-something people in a quickly growing refugee ministry. These are some of the most amazing people I've ever met in my life, many of whom have roots in Christianity older than my house. How do I, a 30-something white kid from middle-class America, find anything insightful to offer people who have (mostly) leaned on their faith for years to get them through literally unimaginable situations. I'm humbled and excited to try to bring some part of the gospel to life for this group, but have no idea what to "teach" when I should be the one listening and learning. I've toyed with a few outlines but it all seems shallow. What do I have to offer?

I have no away missions running, but every time I start a transmission the Faction mission screen shuttle turns gray when I add crewmen. I've burned a few transmissions over the last couple of days with this result. Other times, fine. My shuttles have stayed at 0/2 for a couple of days now. Is there a replenishing thing I'm missing? where did my shuttles go?

Why is the 11th doctor not in snoo-form at the header anymore? wasn't he there before? If I need to provide a matt-smith-snoo, I'm happy to whip one up, but I'm sure I've seen his fez-head up there before?

Or is someone behind on some 50th-header-countdown I missed between memes?

So after a busy month, I saw all the new Romulan content. Excitedly, I patched tribble only to learn that I cannot create a new romulan character yet. Is the tribble testing still closed to subscribers only?
