Today, I am Thankful For...
Biscuits!
Yes, you read that right. I did say biscuits! As I was making breakfast for my kiddos this morning, I was reminded of my Daddy, who passed away 6 months ago today. I remember him making homemade biscuits and breads for us, time after time. I remember him telling me some of his tricks, like, "for fluffy, tender biscuits, you have to use ice cold water or milk, and handle the dough as little as possible. " Of course, I had to learn some things for myself,the hard way, but I am reminded of him all of the time. And today, I am grateful that I had a father who instilled a love of baking and cooking for my family in me.

Brought tears to my eyes as I remember some of those same things today. I was at a loss a couple weeks ago when looking at two different recipes for pecan pie...his recipe said to use dark karo syrup, and Gran's recipe said to use light. I just wanted to call him to ask the difference. Love you much, Margie.
ReplyDeletehugs-love you too! And either corn syrup will be fine-the dark makes the color of the pie darker.
DeleteThe biscuits look yummy, and you shot and presented them well too!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally down with being thankful for biscuits, especially those made from a recipe of love. Many things I make are from directions by my mom, who I miss every day. Great picture, even better story behind it.
