savory biscuits make the best bookends for bright and early weekend breakfasts. bake those biscuits and while they're still piping hot, stuff with your favorite morning meats. my go-to combo is ham, fried egg and better cheddar.
Smiley Breakfast Sammies for Two
2 fried eggs
4 slices ham
2 slices cheese of your choosing
2 savory biscuits (recipe below)
Savory Biscuits
½ c milk
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ stick (2 ounces) unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
¼ cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup grated cheese (cheddar or cheese of your choice)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Beat together the milk and the egg and then set aside. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt. Rub the butter into the flour mixture, working until you have no butter lumps bigger than a pea. Add the green onions and cheese and toss to mix. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, reserving just a little bit of the milk-egg mixture to use as a glaze. Bring dough together gently with a wooden spoon. Turn dough onto a lightly floured counter and knead it a few times. Pat dough into a round, approximately ½-inch thick, and use biscuit cutter or small glass to cut into rounds. Place on an parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, glaze biscuits and bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Slice and fill with your breakfast sandwich fixings.

it would be an honore, sir
there's a little nugget of gold hiding in ballard. i stumbled upon it last week. this one-block stretch on 14th & 70th, between a bunch of houses, is filled with potential treasures: Honore Artisan Bakery, A Caprice Kitchen, an art studio that offers classes (i didn't catch the name) and a bar called Tarasco's (they have karaoke Saturdays). All of these places seem to have something of value to offer you, even if it is as simple as a croissant au jambon or a cup of coffee.
