warning, this book could be dangerous if you don't have a family that works cattle from dawn until dark. but if you're in the middle of a winter that won't quit, have done your share of shoveling and need some serious comfort food, look no further. also, if you have a significant other who thinks that every recipe you've ever tried could be greatly improved by the addition of bacon, this book is for you as well. i'm lucky enough to fit both of those descriptions::
i thought i was getting a great deal on her new book, turns out that's because this is her old one. no matter though, this one is full of great stuff too! such as::
these are french breakfast puffs. but you know what these taste like a couple of days out, when they've dried a bit? they taste exactly like drakes coffee cakes. it's true. i kid you not. i'm almost glad i over baked them for a minute or two. oh, memories of a junk food childhood! i would even go so far as to say that (if you wanted to get really disgusting about it) you could bake these with a streusel topping and then only coat the sides and bottom with the cinnamon and sugar and you would have an exact replica of the drakes. exact.
why did i have to think of that? it will haunt me now.
beans and skillet cornbread are next in line. though big b probably wishes i'd dive right into the fried chicken. baby steps, baby steps.
happy weekend and happy, happy march! the warmth is coming!!
