 It's pretty much most of the red meat we eat . They are a pest to the farmers around here .  So from October to the end of December it  is time to get the freezer full  .  I really like to eat it  and get my fair share of them .

Here’s one more biscuit recipe.  This one handed down to Mary from her mother.  They are “low fat” and light as a feather.  (so you can eat a lot of them).

Alabama Biscuits

Warm ….
1 Cup milk
1 Tablespoon shortening
2 Tablespoons sugar
˝ Teaspoon of salt

Add …
2 Cups flour
2 Teaspoons baking powder

Let rest…

Kneed lightly about 20 times on lightly floured bread board
Pat out and cut
Let rise until double
Bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees

Can also be used for cinnamon rolls or pizza dough, etc.

P.S. Don’t forget to add these recipes to the Knowledge Base.

Roxie, you give me way too much credit. Bless your heart.  

Actually since we closed the restaurant, I do very little cooking. Norm does it all. I still enjoy baking now & then....cookies are my favorite, or a pie now & then. After the restaurant episode, we cooked for farmers markets for several years, so I could be home thru the summers with our boys. We baked 100 pies, plus 10 dozen cinnamon rolls, 50 loaves of banana bread & another 50 of pumkin bread every week.  Our boys helped out with the baking, plus I'd take them with me for the market. It was good for them, even though they say they still haven't recovered yet, it traumatized them so much.   Norm was on the road alot then for his job, but I made sure he got to enjoy the thrills of the marathon baking, once he was home. He & I did all the baking for the markets after the boys ran off to college. It is an extremely tough way to earn a living, but I think it builds character. Come to think of it I have been accused of being a real character. Hmmmmm.

Nut'n beats grandma's home made buttermilk buscuits. And the buttermilk was home made too, since she used to churn butter every week during the summer months. They used the cream for the butter making because they were on a quota system, and grandma couldn't throw that cream to waste. Now what was real good on the biscuits was maple syrup or the gravy from the baked beans in molasses. Some folks lived on biscuits and beans during the depression years. My great grand father's brother used to grow great big gardens and he always had the old variety of calaco beans. I don't think you can get those any more, but a native woman who is in her late 90's now, used to grow some from the original seed she got from great grand father's brother. She has a sack left over from the last time she thrashed beans, which was about 5 years ago, and she eats them every weekend and lotsa pork. If there ever was a person that fowled up the statistics of heart disease its this old gal. She smokes and practically lives on anything from a pig and lotsa pork fat in her diet. She has had a mild stroke  5 years ago and recently a mild heart attack. She's already outlived all her daughters and she has only one son left, out of a family of 12. . When I was on the BC coast I couldn't even buy a good 'soldier' or 'yellow eye' bean. All they had was pea beans or lentils. We can buy 'yellow eye' now from Graves brand and several people grow them locally to sell in stores. I also like the Maine brand baked beans, which are soldier beans like grandma cooked in Maine and back home or in sporting camps and the Hotel she worked in eons ago.

Termite knows what I'm talkin about. Just like buscuits, some beans are good and some are GOOOOOOOOOOOD

Ok, now stop drooling on your keyboard.

cheers

 I had B&G yesterday morn, was sitting at the counter so I could see what the cook was building  . It all came from packages  . Wasn't bad tho. Best ever was in a truckstop in Texarkana  .

[Tamiam]

Here's the results:  5 of the 6 liked the biscuits and gravy.






Charlie  I used your gravy recipe it was awesome! Thanks.

All 3 of the biscuit recipes sent to me were almost identical, they tasted good but I they didn't rise very much.


Next I get to go to the Paul Bunyan show, I was wondering what new dishes await me in Ohio?  

[WV_hillbilly]

   Tamiam

 You will have to try a Paul Bunyon Burger at the show . I usually get at least one during my annual visit there .

[LogRite]

Those look like vanilla cupcakes to me. Next time we need a close-up just to make sure you're not pulling a fast one on us.

[SwampDonkey]

     

Doesn't look like grandma either.    

Ok, back to the woods.  

[Tamiam]

WV Hillbilly

Yes I hope to get the day off from work so I can work the show.  LogRite is going to have a booth.  I will definitely have to try one of those Paul Bunyan Burgers.  Will you be going to the show?

[WV_hillbilly]

  

Tammy

Yep  I'm going   and if everything goes right  I will  have an orange or Red/black thing towing behind the truck  on the way home .

[Tamiam]

WV Hillbilly

I hope you do too!

[Captain]

How about aluminum and stainless steel??

[WV_hillbilly]

  Sorry Captain I'm into the painted ones  with long bands on them .

[Captain]

Certainly can understand that with the type of materials you work with.  Can't blame a guy for trying....
