School has started. A new season is here not related as much to fall as to activities of school kids. There is football, volleyball, and Cross Country. I have a granddaughter in volleyball and this is a new experience for me.

Whipping Cream Biscuits

If you've followed my column for long, you've noticed that I publish a lot of biscuit recipes. There are two reasons for this: 1) I love biscuits with butter, with gravy, or under a nice fried egg; maybe with a piece of sausage wedged into the mix.
