Furlani Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

We had tried their Texas Toast and when Furlani Cheddar Biscuits came on buy-2 sale at SuperStore my mom was curious to try it, especially as we'd only recently tried the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix. Obviously these are meant to be a reasonable facsimile.

Here is how the biscuits look like straight out of the frozen package. Notice the worrisome thick coating of butter on top.

After following the baking instructions,

They still looked undercooked but were not.
Quite tender so handle carefully if you want them plated nicely.
Tender, almost spongy interior!
NO buttery mess oozing all over despite the thick coat of butter on top. Apparently absorbed into the biscuit?
Tasted like butter. Don't count on any flavour from cheddar or herbs despite seeing evidence of both.

Depending on how much you bought it for, it works out to maybe 40 cents per biscuit. For 50 cents you can get a big bagel from Superstore so you aren't buying this to fill you up. Could make for a quick way to get nice, presentable biscuits to go with soup for guests though. Baking time is certainly very low at around 10 minutes.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin...
