Portal 2

Wow. "Portal 2" is an amazing game. Incredible brain work is required to solve the puzzles. We are playing the XBox 360 version and am enjoying it night after night. It has even occurred to us that designing the game would have been fun. Highly recommended to anyone.

Sausage Biscuits

A favorite of mine since I was a kid was the creation of Sausage Biscuits for Thanksgiving and Christmas mornings. This is a tradition I carry on. Not that sausage biscuits are hard but I have made them a bit easier.

Buy 2 tubes of Pillsbury Grands Flaky Original biscuits.

Buy a 1 lb of Jimmy Deans regular premium pork sausage.

Take out the biscuits and mash them together into one lump. Roll out the biscuit dough on a cutting board or something making it relatively flat and square. Take sausage and using chunks, spread it over the big square biscuit. Roll the dough with your hands from the bottom up into a sausage swirled tube. Cut the dough roll into 1/2 inch sections and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook 14-17 minutes.

Makes about 16 sausage biscuits!

The Science Museum of Virginia is exhibiting "The Beauty of Math and Science," a series of paintings by Richmond artist Melissa Holly. The artist has studied math and science for most of her life in tandem with art. She notes that the endeavors may seem contradictory but aren't because they share the study of patterns — a subject she finds fascinating.

"The beauty of math and science is everywhere!" she noted in her artist's statement. "When I look at a verdant landscape, I not only see all the wonderful combinations of patterns and colors in the leaves and plants, but also the beauty of the science behind the scene."

The exhibition runs through Dec. 30 at 2500 W. Broad St. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For details, call (804) 864-1400 or visit www.smv.org.
