"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

May mother taught me how to bake biscuits like my Grandma Thomason. I never mastered baking biscuits that were as good as those who tried to teach me!! I think it is because they baked biscuits every morning and never measured ingredients.
