I have learned that it IS possible. I have a prepaid cremation waiting
for me when I cease to be animate.

My brother asked me during this last go round of hospitilisation what
my wishes were. So I told him where the paperworkfor the cremation was
and gavehim a copy of my will. Basically he gets my wheels and Dennis
(housemate) gets lifetime tennancy in my bungalow - then it passes to
Habitat For Humanity. Any $$$ in the bank gets divvied between the
American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and American
Cancer Society.

So, he looks at me and says "What about your ashes?"

I told him "If you've no ceremony that will make you feel better about
my passage, chuck 'em in your trunk and use them for traction sand next
winter. That way I'll still be useful."

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

     6 c  All-purpose flour *
     4 c  Whole wheat flour *
   1/3 c  Baking powder
   1/4 c  Sugar
     2 ts Salt
     2 c  Lard or Crisco shortening

 * It is permissible to play with proportions of white to
 whole-wheat up to just 10% white flour. Any less than 10%
 white flour does not seem to do well for some reason.
 ~ UDD

 In an extra-large bowl stir together flours, baking
 powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in shortening till mixture
 resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight container.

 To use, bring mix to room temperature if frozen. Spoon mix
 lightly into a measuring cup; level off with a spatula.
 Continue as directed in variations.

 Makes about 12 cups.

 For a four biscuit batch of Basic Biscuits:

 Stir together 1 cup Biscuit Mix and 1/4 cup milk just till
 dough clings together. On a floured surface, knead dough
 gently 10 to 12 strokes. * Roll to 1/2" thickness. Cut
 with a 2 1/2" biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking
 sheet. Bake in a 450+|F/230+|C oven 8 to 10 minutes or till
 biscuits are golden.

 Makes 4 biscuits.

 * Do not over-knead or you will get tough biscuits - AKA
 "sinkers". My Dad was a master at making biscuits and it
 really torqued my Mom's jaws that she couldn't do as
 well.   Bv)=
