Welcome!

Intelligent Biped is a forum for discussing ideas, issues and solutions with a focus on our inherent human characteristics of cleverness and kindness. This forum is called "intelligent biped" because I believe kindness and cleverness to be interdependent at a biological level. Simply put, bipedal animals can't have big brains without fundamental kindness and nurturing. This forum will share and discuss issues, ideas and solutions that use and enhance our inherent cleverness and kindness amongst the chaos of everyday life.

They looked great coming out of the oven!

Cinnamon Scrolls - sans sucre!

This is an adaptation of an internet scrolls recipe and my attempts at sour dough based cinnamon scrolls.  I am (very) happily enjoying this latest batch as I write. mmmmm!
