An under-rated cottagecore gem, arguably more practical than >90% of VNs in production today in terms of real-world application. I have only one question which I ask in good faith, because I am legitimately curious: why is it called a 'buttermilk boy biscuit' rather than a regular buttermilk biscuit?
Thank you!!!!
I really need to get back here and do a little clean up and addition to H&H! I definitely want to keep adding to it, I just got really invested in working on the narrative project!
As far as the name goes... My old roommates and I used to keep a shared document of recipes for the apartment. When I was orating the recipe for this doc one of them was transcribing things -exactly- as I said it. So there was a tangent about the elementals from Final Fantasy 14 in it. It was pretty goofy!
BUT - they named it Baker's Buttermilk Boy Biscuits for the alliteration! It just feels good to say all those B words!
That is very cute, and I do agree that it's fun to say the extra word. I also remember that one of the goals was to add a gardening section, and if that happens, I can only say that it would be helpful if that information was prefaced by a statement of which climates or regions it would work best in. I live in the deserts of southern Arizona, and I have learned the hard way to disregard any info that is not exclusively adapted to arid and rocky soil, so a disclaimer might be beneficial for readers in all parts of the globe to know what regions the information presented is best-suited for.
That's a really excellent suggestion in regards to the gardening portion!!! I am planning to start with general care/what not for houseplants, so hopefully it won't be -too- much of an issue for that, but I can definitely preface the sections there!! <3
That should be fine then. Besides the humidity needs of a plant, the only difference I know of in the desert states is that when a plant label says 'full sun', it usually means '2-3 hours per day max' here, because otherwise it doesn't stand much of a chance. RIP to all of the plants I've ever set outside, and the crispy remains they left behind
