Hi Dave,

 RH> Dodged a bullet with that one. Looks like MIlton will miss us but the
 RH> coastal areas will get wet. Other storms out in the ocean look to be
 RH> "fish storms".

 DD> I was under the impression that Milty was coming up the West Coast of
 DD> Florida toward Tampa Bay and the home of Hooters. (Looks at map) I see
 DD> it's projected to blow across the peninsula and miss Georgia and South
 DD> Carolina .... except with the fringes - which can be bad enough.

Rip tides, storm surges, winds, all that stuff. A hurricane can reach
out over quite a large area, and one this strong can do a lot of damage
hundreds of miles from the center of the storm.


 DD>      8<----- SNIP ----->8

 DD>       Title: Whole Wheat Biscuit Mix - BHG
 DD>  Categories: Breads
 DD>       Yield: 48 Servings

 DD>       6 c  A-P flour *
 DD>       4 c  Whole wheat flour *
 DD>     1/3 c  Baking powder
 DD>     1/4 c  Sugar
 DD>       2 ts Salt
 DD>       2 c  Lard or Crisco shortening

 RH> Looks similar to the one I've made a number of times but I use all
 RH> whole wheat flour (only 8 cups), no sugar and add about a cup and a
 RH> half of powdered milk. There are a number of similar versions out
 RH> there; my recipe comes from the La Leche League, International
 RH> cookbook, "Whole Foods For The Whole Family".

 DD> IOW you use something like this one:


 DD>       Title: Whole Wheat Biscuit Mix
 DD>  Categories: Breads, Dairy
 DD>       Yield: 9 Biscuits

 DD>       8 c  Whole wheat flour
 DD>   1 1/2 c  Non-fat dry milk
 DD>       5 tb Baking powder
 DD>       1 tb Salt
 DD>       1 c  Butter; softened

Basically, yes. I'd have to look up the one I make but getting to my
cook books right now is a challenge (piles of tools and 3D build partial
projects are in the way).
