Biscuits Anyone?

Image via WikipediaI have a wonderful friend from Australia who I very much enjoy talking to. Dan cracks up whenever we talk and thinks I should transcribe some of our conversations. Like the other day when we were talking about biscuits.

I love biscuits and gravy, especially sausage gravy. I could eat it for any meal, it's like the ultimate comfort food. Not long ago I was cooking exactly that for dinner while on the phone with M. "You're making what?" she asked me. "Biscuits and gravy," I replied. This led to great discussion about biscuits. I had no idea biscuits were not a universal thing. She explained what a "biscuit" is over there. I'm from Texas y'all, we have cookies, we have crackers, and we have biscuits. She asked me what we called a biscuit. How do you describe a biscuit? Listening to me try must have been amusing because Dan was laughing and shaking his head. I should have Googled it. I even tweeted a pic of of a sausage biscuit trying to make her understand.

So, I promised to share my favorite biscuit recipe with her and decided to share it here. When she shares her favorite "biscuit" recipe with me, I'll be sure to pass that along to y'all.

Southern Living's Buttermilk Biscuit recipe is my favorite, although I use white flour rather than wheat. It makes prefect, fluffy biscuits every time.

Dairy Breakfast

In the comments for my Goodie Box Giveaway, several people have expressed interest in hearing about the area I live in. Podunk is located in the middle of a bunch of dairies. Today the area dairy producers had an appreciation breakfast for Podunk County, thanking the people for supporting the local dairy industry. I am pretty sure the whole town showed up for this yummy free meal! They served biscuits, butter, cheesy scrambled eggs, sausage, jelly, fruit & whipped cream, milk, and even ice cream! It was so good and we all had a really great time. There were even two adorable calves out front for the kiddos to pet.


This was a really fun event! I think it is so neat that these dairy farmers thank our community every year. It almost makes up for the way the dairies make Podunk smell...almost. ;-)
