I got married when I was 18 years old. I was so young. Maybe girls shouldn't marry so young. There was a time when young ladies were considered old maids if they weren't married by 21. God desires of a us to stay pure till we get married. There's something lost if we don't.
Faithful to stay pure so that our passion will be pure. Someday I hope to teach this to my girls. There's so much I want them to know that I didn't know.
I'm very grateful to God it was to a faithful-God seeking man I got married to. And even though I thought I was mature, I was not. At least not in many areas of life. One of these being the laundry. I remember crying over having to put away all of one or two weeks worth of laundry by myself! We didn't have a washer and drier so we went to the laundrymat. Now, I laugh. Boy, did God have my number. Talk about slowly breaking me in.
I did prepare for somethings though. One of these things was making biscuits. Bread wasn't served at dinner in my home. We were meat and potato type folks and there was not a lot of room left for the bread. But Jimmy was a breadman. The kind that liked biscuits and gravy. So I learned to make biscuits. Someone I knew took the time and shared the process with me. I will be forever thankful to her for this. These biscuits are not the best, but they are the ones he wants. I've tried several others but always go right back to these. The grass always seems greener on the other side I guess. They have proven to be really good for 16 years. Here's the recipe:
Mix together:
1 cup of flour
1 tsp. of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
Add:
2/3 cup of buttermilk
1 Tbs. oil
Mix together. Dough is ready when it almost unticks from the bowl.(semi-sticky) Get your baking pan and pour about 3 Tbs. of oil in it. Now, this is the messy part, but once you get confident, it goes real quick, an it will be worth the mess. Grab with your hand a biscuit size amount of dough in your hand and coat with flour, then coat with the oil in your baking pan so both sides are coated. Just leave that biscuit in the pan and do another until all the dough is gone. Bake at 425* for 15-20 min.
This recipe yields about 5 -6 biscuits.
Enjoy!

Hi! I came here from Nina's blog. I love, love, love bisuits. Of course, being from Alabama, I would have to love bisuits. Can you believe that in my city they named our semi-professional baseball team the Biscuits? Crazy name!
Welcome to blogland! Always wonderful to have a new blogger with fresh ideas... I stopped over via Nina's blog. Have fun! Stop by anytime!
Thanks,Ladies. I appreciate you stopping by. Kathy, the baseball team named the Biscuits made me laugh, and Sis. Sheri, I'm not sure I'll have too many new ideas. I have 5 kids to get creative with. That doesn't leave me with much left over. But I am having fun. By the way, I've lived in Portland, Oregon. Our van was stolen the first week we were there. You should have seen our faces! We thought we really had left our brains in bed because maybe we parked it somewhere else and forgot where. We couldn't imagine someone stealing it. But they did. Maybe I'll tell you some more over it another time.
