You know those tubes of Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits, and they come in a 4-pack/10 each tube?

Well, that's ALWAYS too much for me and/or me and one other.
So, I needed some recently (to try Vickie's Chix 'n Dumplings recipe) and had to buy the 4-pack.

I used the tube I needed and threw the rest in the freezer. Figured it wouldn't hurt anything because I wouldn't use the other 3 tubes before they went bad.

I defrosted a tube today, just for grins, popped 'em in the toaster oven and they were perfectly fine...not a thing wrong with them.
I ate one, well, okay, three, and tossed the rest.

So, now I know I can keep them in the freezer and not have to drive 50 miles to pick them up for a quick Chix 'n Dumplings Dinner!

The End.

PS: and now a new thought just entered my mind...I have NEVER had a Thanksgiving without my Mom's homemade dumplings (well, not HERS in the last 35 years or so since she died), but I always made them. Nobody here to care anymore, so I think I'll try this way of making dumplings for Thanksgiving. Sure is a lot less messy!!
Thank you, Vickie.

That's great! I have never tried to freeze those tubes. Good to know you can.

I have to confess, I was waiting for the part where you say 'I now have biscuit dough on the ceiling'! :lol:

Glad this meal had a good ending, Mitch. And thanks for the info.

but sure wish I was there to help ya eat those biscuits, you know you can freeze them after their cooked too, they make great little pbj sandwiches
then of course when ya want biscuits and gravy...well lets just say the freezer and the microwave are my best friend

Not sure if I am more shocked that there wasn't a biscuit disaster, or that Mitch thanked Vickie without any smarta$$ remark attached to it :shock:

Okay, so maybe it's not often, but SOMETIMES.
