I can’t make biscuits!
I have tried and tried but I just cannot make my Grammy’s buttermilk biscuits. She is a good ole southern gal that knows how to cook. She’s old school and cooks everything from scratch. One day I was eating at Gram’s and she had made brown beans, meatloaf, green beans, biscuits (at […]

Going Away Lunch
My friends at work gave me a going away lunch on Friday, although I am staying in the same building. Basically it was an excuse for the 12 of us to get together for lunch. As usual, we were extremely loud and obnoxious but had a great time.
