Today begins National Biscuits and Gravy week. I love biscuits and gravy. I wish I could put biscuits on the menu. But for me, biscuits aren't quite the same when they aren't fresh. They taste fine heated up again in the oven (NOT the microwave), but they just aren't the same. I know we say that about a lot of foods, but some foods (pizza, spaghetti, for example), in my opinion are just as good when reheated.
I've played with biscuit recipes off and on, but I've never found a way to make them such that when they are reheated you don't feel like you have settled on something less. Pizza reheated is different than fresh pizza, but you don't feel like you settled for less. There's something about it aging for a day and being reheated (again, NOT in the microwave) that makes pizza different but still excellent. Alas, the same cannot be said for biscuits.
Biscuits.... Should they be eaten with butter only? Butter and honey? Butter and jam? I like them all three ways. And now that I'm informed as to this being National Biscuits and Gravy Week, I got thoughts in my head for a big breakfast as a dinner, a breakfast/dinner of biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs and French toast with a tropical fruit smoothie to top it off.
Doesn't that sound good? I'd better eat low calories for a day or two first.
Have a great week, everyone!
