Actually I made biscuits this morning, Carrie, but they are never as good as the ones mom makes. Great Epulaeryu! Many congrats on your top-notch win. Lainie

There's nothing that makes breakfast better than homemade biscuits. Excellent entry for John's contest. Wishing you success! (I've never written a poem about food and I'm dieting now, so I think I'll stay away from the temptation of entering this one.) Love, Carolyn
