tonite hubby cooked streaked meat and i made biscuits . and we sliced up a viadalia onion and a store bought  tomato. we love all that in a biscuit. i make them the old fashion way with my hands. that's the way my mother and my mother-in-law did and so did my grand mothers.  now they wont you to mix them with a spoon and roll them out with a rolling pin. i have one of those , a rolling pin,but i use mine for piecrusts....


finished my pot holder and am studying about that quilt. been looking at my new quilt books but i may just make some more blocks and make them 3 across and make my 46 year old baby a couch or foot quilt. hubby and i ran around today and got some things done so i will be at home the rest of the week and should have some good quilting time.

love you'll    good nite friends
