"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
It was common that many Southern families has a biscuit recipe that is always used for almost any meal. Although we are not from the south originally, my maternal grandmother Pearl Kay Small, Grammy Bach's mother, was from Tennessee. Her mother, Emma, (your great great grandma) made these biscuits quicker than you could eat them, and she always liked them with honey.
