A nes is a sign, like a flag, waiving above a building or a marker, drawing your attention to something special. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>I thought about the idea of miracles as flag posts or markers of the special things in our lives and as I looked at my life, I saw a lot of miracles. What if you saw everything special in your life as a miracle? How would that make you feel about your life? Play with the idea and see what happens.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nNow for something totally different. I found this fabulous recipe for Angel Biscuits on a blog called <a href=\"http:\/\/pleasepassthepie.blogspot.com\/\">Please Pass the Pie<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>If you have an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Love-Family\/Recipes\/2009\/03\/Easy-Recipes-Inspired-by-Angels.aspx\">angel recipe<\/a>, please pass it along.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pleasepassthepie.blogspot.com\/2009\/11\/backup-to-bakewells.html\">Angel Biscuits<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the name implies, angel biscuits are light and fluffy, and they get that way with yeast.&nbsp; Be warned, the yeast needs a little time to work, so plan ahead.<\/p>\n<p>I made these to go along with a soup we had last week, but they also make a swell breakfast.&nbsp; I recommend a little peach butter.&nbsp; Or regular butter.&nbsp; That&#8217;s good, too. <\/p>\n<p>This recipe comes from an old issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/pleasepassthepie.blogspot.com\/2009\/11\/backup-to-bakewells.html\">Cooking Light<\/a>, submitted by reader Linda Turner in Springfield, Mo.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><b>Angel Biscuits<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1&nbsp; package dry yeast (about 2 1\/4 teaspoons)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2&nbsp; cup&nbsp; warm water (105\u00b0 to 115\u00b0)<\/li>\n<li>5&nbsp; cups&nbsp; all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/4&nbsp; cup&nbsp; sugar<\/li>\n<li>1&nbsp; teaspoon&nbsp; baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1&nbsp; teaspoon&nbsp; baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1&nbsp; teaspoon&nbsp; salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2&nbsp; cup&nbsp; vegetable shortening<\/li>\n<li>2&nbsp; cups&nbsp; low-fat buttermilk<\/li>\n<li>Cooking spray<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon melted butter <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Combine the dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk; stir just until moist. Cover and chill 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven to 450 degrees.&nbsp; Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface; knead lightly 5 times. Roll dough to a 1\/2-inch thickness; cut with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush melted margarine over biscuit tops. Bake at 450\u00b0 for 12 minutes or until golden.<\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/><i><a href=\"http:\/\/pleasepassthepie.blogspot.com\/2009\/11\/backup-to-bakewells.html\">Susan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n<p>Make <a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a> part of your daily routine and share it with a friend! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Jewish tradition the word we translate \u201cmiracle\u201d is nes.
