Re: Biscuits and gravy

[Guest guest]

,

you finally spoke my language, Biscuits and gravy, now that is just

about the best darn thing there is to eat, breakfast, lunch and

dinner. I grew up in So. Calif. We had toast and milk, or nothing,

but my best friends Mom is from Alabama, and made the best Biscuits and

gravy, it was a treat to have breakfast at her house.

I know live in a small town in No. Colorado, Windsor, and my best

friend here, another friend, well her husband Makes Biscuits and gravy

even better! So now I'm in heaven when they ask us over for breakfast,

I've tried it a few times and it's just not as good, don't know, think

it has to be in the blood.

When I was in nursing school, the cafeteria made them pretty good too,

so for our 10 am break during lectures we could got get food and bring

it back, after two years of that I gained 20 pounds! Of courser once

we got into clinical, I ran the 20 pounds off .

I'd happily take Biscuits and gravy over grits any day, sorry all you

grit lovers!!

Have a happy, pain free, clear mind day.

God Bless, and thanks for the memories,

Marla and Matt. I live smack down in the middle Tennessee,

and you can't get any more country than that.. lol Actually, Minnie

Pearls blessed Grinder's Switch is about 5 miles from my house.. I was born,

in

get this name "Hohenwald. Tennessee" which is about 20 miles from where I currently reside. When I was a child, I lived 18 miles from nowhere.. lol

we were so far back in the country, our outhouse was given to us by a church

up the road

that had built them a new one.. lol No we didn't have indoor plumbing, and instead of the church adding indoor plumbing they just built them a new out

house.. ROFL

Now that I've proved I'm a southern country girl, my granny fixed breakfast

for us every morning of the world, after the grown ups had eaten that is,

we were always either second in line to eat or third, never first.. So by

the time

it got to us, I guess the grits were gone...So we ate gravy and biscuits,

maybe

an egg if we were lucky..

I can remember us going to Nashville one time, and it was a all day trip..

lol

it is only about 50miles east of me.. My mom's sister lived there but I don

t think we ever went back it was to far.. lol

That's a lot of useless information.. isn't it.. ROFL

I'm from the North, but I grew up on biscuits and gravy also and

I make pretty good biscuits and gravy. It was just " normal " for us

to eat it all the time and it still amazes me when I meet someone

who has never eaten biscuits and gravy!!! :-)

Rose,

I am trying to watch what I eat so the other day I ate a can of tuna

fish without any mayo. I realized as I ate the whole can that my Mom

could make 4-6 tuna sandwiches out of 1 can and I just at the whole

thing.

Rose, Same here. My mother made a LOT of spagetti with homemade sauce made from tomatoes from our garden with a lot of leftovers. A lot of macaronie and cheese too. Everything was from the garden frozen or canned. Also we had a lot of chickens that resulted in eggs. Also when the chickens got older, I can remember watching my father cutting their heads off and seeing them run all around. IT was a source of entertainment for us kids, little known to us at the time it was to be for our supper! Then we had to hang them on the clothesline and pluck them. We also raised rabbits, which we were told at the time , it was chicken meat just the dark meat, YEK! I always thought it tasted a bit funny.A lot of venison from deer meat and a lot of other stuff my father hunted for. We never went hungry either, but as I look back now us kids were pretty naive (sp?) on what we had for supper!

Debbie,

I can remember living with my grandmother while my Dad was at sea; we

had a pump in the front yard, an outhouse in the backyard and we used to

buy eggs from the lady across the highway. One day I begged my

grandmother to let me carry the eggs home. She said yes, but do not

drop them. Guess what? I did. Boy did I get it. She and my

step-Grandfather were sharecroppers and she taught my Mom how to stretch

and eat anything. To this day I cannot eat corned beef and potato soup,

macaroni and cheese, lettuce and egg salad and bologna. But she did

teach me how to stretch my meals and when I was a single Mom, we could

eat the same thing for days and days.

Well, just a little remeniscing.

" poor " but didn't know it. My mom could stretch a batch of gravy to feed

our family, plus a bunch of cousins that might show up at meal time. We

were never hungry.

Clair,

We are talking about homemade white gravy and homemade biscuits. In the

"old days" it was standard for lots of people, especially the poorer ones.........

Well Matt if you have to depend on me to cook them, I don't know.

However, we have the famous " Corner" truck stop, just about 5

mins from my house, and they make a pretty good plate of biscuits and

gravy, so we could meet there, they do breakfast all day, they have

over all great down home cooking, My husband, self and son, stopped

there the other night after a Hockey game for dinner, and I had turkey,

stuffing with gravy, one of my other favorites, yum! They are a very

well know truck stop. so we can meet there, just let me know when your

in coming through town, OK.

Marla

Now need to go and see if the Ham and bean soup is done, my oldest Son

is starving, what's new!

you know the ham soup after the ham for easter, traditions. Hope it

makes my cold go away.

take care Matt,

hugs and blessings,

Marla

Hi marla- so do i get biscuits and gravy the next time

i am in Colorado MATT

,

you finally spoke my language, Biscuits and gravy,

now that is just about the best darn thing there is to eat,

breakfast, lunch and dinner. I grew up in So. Calif. We had toast and milk, or

nothing, but my best friends Mom is from Alabama, and made the best

Biscuits and gravy, it was a treat to have breakfast at her house.

I know live in a small town in No. Colorado,

Windsor, and my best friend here, another friend, well her husband Makes

Biscuits and gravy even better! So now I'm in heaven when they ask us over

for breakfast, I've tried it a few times and it's just not as good,

don't know, think it has to be in the blood.

When I was in nursing school, the cafeteria made

them pretty good too, so for our 10 am break during lectures we could got

get food and bring it back, after two years of that I gained 20 pounds!

Of courser once we got into clinical, I ran the 20 pounds off .

I'd happily take Biscuits and gravy over grits any

day, sorry all you grit lovers!! Have a happy, pain free, clear mind day.

God Bless, and thanks for the memories,

Marla

Marla and Matt. I live smack down in the middle

Tennessee,

and you can't get any more country than that.. lol

Actually, Minnie

Pearls blessed Grinder's Switch is about 5 miles

from my house.. I was born,

in

get this name "Hohenwald. Tennessee" which is about

20 miles from where

I currently reside. When I was a child, I lived 18

miles from nowhere.. lol

we were so far back in the country, our outhouse

was given to us by a church

up the road

that had built them a new one.. lol No we didn't

have indoor plumbing, and

instead of the church adding indoor plumbing they

just built them a new out

house.. ROFL

Now that I've proved I'm a southern country girl,

my granny fixed breakfast

for us every morning of the world, after the grown

ups had eaten that is,

we were always either second in line to eat or

third, never first.. So by

the time

it got to us, I guess the grits were gone...So we

ate gravy and biscuits,

maybe

an egg if we were lucky..

I can remember us going to Nashville one time, and

it was a all day trip..

lol

it is only about 50miles east of me.. My mom's

sister lived there but I don

t think we ever went back it was to far.. lol

That's a lot of useless information.. isn't it..

ROFL
