Now why would a person do that if they can buy the bisquits ready made???? DUH! Storebought ain't homemade. BIG difference! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> You sure you ain't a Yankee? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Don't even mention Whop Biscuits in the same breath as homemade! {shudder!}

I just went and planted a bunch more seeds today. I am going to sell eggplant and cabbage, iffen I don't kill them all.
Already I know I can grow squash. In fact, I'm not sure it is possible to kill squash, which may be why I was able to grow them.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Grandma, but no damnyankee is fit to tell a TEXAN how ta cook!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> A damyankee is tryin' to tell YOU how to cook??? WHERE is that no 'count, good-fer-nuthin' suckah??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Now, listen up, you yankee dawg! You jest pay attention to ME and you might learn how to cook SOUTHERN! You quit tellin' Mel how to cook! That po' ol' gal does NOT need to be confused! She's already confused enuff, since she's buyin' ready-made fake biscuits and all! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Look, Mel...if you have to eat frozen biscuits, you might as well have a recipe for homemade frozen biscuits. Homemade Frozen Biscuits 4 cups self-risin' flour (Martha White or Sunflower is best, IMO, but any LIGHT S/R flour will do) 1 tablespoon bakin' powder 1 tablespoon sugar Either sift this all together a couple of times or mix it together really good with a fork in a big mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle. Add 6 oz. shortening (3/4 cup) to the well. Cut it into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse cornmeal. Add 1 cup of either sweetmilk or buttermilk, and gently mix the flour into the milk. When all the flour is mixed in, turn out onto a well-floured sheet of waxed paper and knead it a couple of times until the dough is not sticky. Don't knead it too much or you'll mess up your biscuits. If you want to eat hockey pucks, go ahead and knead the dough to death. Roll out with a well-floured rolling pin to about 1/2" thick. Cut out with a cookie cutter. A small tomato sauce can with both ends cut out makes a good biscuit cutter. Place on cookie sheets and freeze. After they're frozen, put the biscuits into a plastic zip-lock freezer bag and put back into freezer. To cook, take out as many as you want a little while before you need 'em, or you could let them thaw in a plastic bag in the refrgerator overnight. If thawed, bake at 400 degrees until light golden brown. If frozen, bake at 375 degrees for a little longer time. I like to just barely melt shortening in my cast iron skillet, and turn my biscuits over in the melted shortening before baking them in the skillet. A cookie sheet is okay, too. Warning to all y'all yankees, though. If you've never actually watched a true Southerner make biscuits, it might take you a while to get the hang of makin' 'em. Just keep a light hand with the dough. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Just bumping up for a cookin' lesson and not to aggravate Mel! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Neak, You can peel and cut up eggplant, squash, and zucchini into bite-sized chunks, add some chopped Vidalia onion and bell pepper, toss it all together in seasoned flour or cornmeal (or a mixture of both) inside a ziplock bag, and then fry it all together until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Really good and smells wonderful while it's cooking. My honey makes sauerkraut. He packs the shredded cabbage into quart jars, adds an equal amount of sugar and salt (can't remember if it's a teaspoon of each or a tablespoon of each), pours boiling water over it and seals it. You're not supposed to have to process it, but I make him do at least a waterbath. The sugar and salt is supposed to preserve it. After a couple of weeks, it's ready to eat. It seems like it's a lot less trouble than having a bunch of churns settin' around the house, waiting for the sauerkraut to get ready to put in jars. Around our house, we would have churns, five-gallon buckets, gallon jugs, and whatever else my mother could find to make sauerkraut and pickles in. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Just keep a light hand with the dough. you're on crack if you think I am going to mess up my nice clean kitchen like that!! Flour all over everywhere versus a nice clean CAN of store bought bisquits! Its' a no brainer! Besides, I don't even own an apron. Just ask my scandalized mother! WHATEVER! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> p.s. I can make gravy and cut up a chicken proper, thats all that counts, baby! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Never had it my life and never knew anyone who did! I think it is more a southEASTERN thing.

Hmmm! Maybe Mexico has taken it back over! Thank you VERY MUCH !!!!!

Mel's no real Southern belle if she thinks canned biscuits can substitute for the real thing. I am so disappointed. As a Southern belle myself, I know there is no canned biscuit that will suffice. Now, Sister Schubert makes pretty good frozen things but I don't know about biscuits....you may just need to bake them from scratch......
I wonder if Mel knows what scratch is.

Hey, Rella! I have an idea that Mel thinks scratch is what you do to itches. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Did you ever hear that saying: "Scratch it where it itches, Even if it's in your britches" ? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
