I'm a northerner but have learned to like grits...buttered and peppered. Not like cereal with milk and sugar as the northerners eat them. So looking forward to your mystery in 2012. You have a wonderful way of telling a story..oh yeah, and sweet tea for this northerner, for sure!!J.Q.

I soon learned biscuits were cookies, chips were french fries, and crisps were potato chips. You've captured a real bit of Americana here, Gail. So glad the Courthouse Café will live on in your writing.Pat McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969402820726235963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965098524381892841.post-2024258950612700842011-09-13T10:35:08.286-04:002011-09-13T10:35:08.286-04:00I know the answer to your question, Tanja and Sue....I know the answer to your question, Tanja and Sue. Bisquits are not cookies. They are little bready things slathered in butter or dipped in gravy to accompany meals. The Pillsbury Doughbough advertises the ready to make kind you can buy in tins from your grocery store, but Gail is talking about the kind that's made from scratch. Ingredients measured sometimes by actual measuring devices, but more often than not by geniuses who know how many pinches and dashes are needed.<br /><br />Gail thank you for taking me back to my childhood when everything had a season and that season involved tantalizing aromas wafting through the house as the ladies in our household made homemade jelly, canned fresh peaches for the coming winter, spent a week cooking corn on the cob, stripping the cobs and sealing sweet summer corn into containers they'd be stacked inside the three deep freezers for the winter feasts during the cold winter nights to come.<br /><br />There is nothing quite like good old home cooking no matter what part of the Country you are downing it in. <br /><br />And Gail, I am looking forward to Septmeber 2012...look the other way for a second...thanks...It's embarrassing to drool.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866209826449646004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965098524381892841.post-89709693935171491172011-09-13T06:58:04.638-04:002011-09-13T06:58:04.638-04:00It's illegal to make people hungry when they h...It's illegal to make people hungry when they have deadlines five minutes ago and their stomachs are still empty from yesterday. I loved this blog, actually, I'm only grumbling because I have a reputation of Maltese Gemgem to maintain. How do you make thes biscuits that are not cookies, then?Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868159655910235958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965098524381892841.post-44599889312785562062011-09-13T02:19:27.998-04:002011-09-13T02:19:27.998-04:00You explained grits, but what's collard greens...You explained grits, but what's collard greens and I've always wondered why you have biscuits with a meal - to me a biscuit is a cookie.

Yep, we have a special place in our brain where we store it. Nice post, Gail. Thanks for sharingRoseanne Dowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473329969019245459noreply@blogger.com
