We arrived at the Half Acre at midnight. After a good night's sleep, preceded by sauna and soak in an outside hot tub watching the stars and moon, we woke to discover cupboards with only the basics. Instead of doing the easy thing (going shopping) the decision was made to make bread. No heat in the oven, no time wait for a yeast dough (I was HUNGRY!).

| Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Crackers, flour, canned pineapple, beans, spices, sugar, tea |
The solution: Stove-top biscuits: Didn't have buttermilk, shortening or baking soda. Milk powder was a lumpy mess. Substituted regular milk (we had 1 liter, but was saving it for drinking) baking powder and butter. Baked in a skillet. A bit too much salt, and should have made them a little thinner. Tasted like biscuits; ) Fast and easy. Beats crackers and sardines ; )
