Do you mean biscuits as in biscuits and gravy, because if you do we don't have them here. They seem to be a US and Canada thing. The nearest we have are scones, which tend to be sweet and often contain dried fruit. What we call biscuits are what you guys call cookies.

I've only ever bought buttermilk for making soda bread, and I haven't done that for a few years.

When I was growing up in the UK, Heineken's slogan was "Refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach". Apparently they used this from 1973 to 2005. More recently they've been sponsoring international sports like football (soccer), rugby and F1. The F1 adverts have concentrated on the "When You Drive, Never Drink" message. Here's one with ex-F1 driver Sir Jackie Stewart: The newest F1 adverts are for their alcohol-free Heineken 0.0 brand. Sadly, it was announced earlier today that Heineken are cutting 6,000 jobs from their global workforce. People just aren't drinking as much lager as they used to.

We've had another week of rain here, although not too bad where I live. I don't think I've ever been close to experiencing wind chills of -30F (that's about -34.5C). At least you've got the coolest day of the year to look forward to - cool!

You started it, Hobie. It's here.

I've mentioned a few British shows that have been remade in the US, but here's a little video listing several more. There's even a cheeky Dukes reference halfway through.

I hope everyone's doing OK. Some of the sources I've just checked say the January storms have claimed over 100 lives in the US. Some people here got flooded out of their homes in the recent bad weather, but I didn't see any reports of deaths.
