Biscuts and Gravy

When Nana comes to town she makes us Biscuits and Gravy. She has done this since I can remember. She is the Biscuits and Gravy master, no one can make 'em like Naners.

Every time she declares as the biscuits come out of the oven, "They just didn't turn out this time." But, of course they are always perfect. Naners is not a fan of the camera, but I took a few snaps when she was busy working away.

Nana told me that my great grandmother, her mother-in-law, made biscuits and gravy for my Papa and their family almost every morning! They lived on a cotton farm, and picked cotton all day. I guess they needed those extra calories to keep them going.
She told me that she was so nervous about getting married to my grandpa, and not being able to make this family tradition. So, she practiced and practiced, and used her "Daddy" for a taste tester, until she felt confident. Blury? Yes. She wouldn't let me take anymore. Adds to the memory!

All those years later, I would say she mastered them.
