Compare, Contrast

From the new Amazon Studios pilot, The Man in the High Castle (which you should watch, and then complete the survey to insure it becomes a series!), in which the Axis powers win WWII, and split the U.S. into three zones...

From the town in which I now live, in a timeline where the Allies won WWII, as you might recall.

Hillbilly Ambrosia, Part the II

Yessirree Bob -- biscuits and gravy, like mamaw used to make. Yes, that is both spicy pork breakfast snausage, and some of the Honeybaked Ham that Sallyh sent me for Thanksgiving (man, it takes a while, even for a fatass, to eat 3.5 lbs. of ham!). This was truly fine, fine gravy... not to brag, but... ;) See, I went to Aldi, braving the 30 mph wind gusts on the scooter, to get flour and milk. They only had milk by the gallon, and I just couldn't see my way clear of it -- see, I'm lactose intolerant, but I like milk, and if I had a whole gallon, I'd be tempted to drink it, which wouldn't be pretty. So, I skipped the milk, and went to Sonic, nextdoor, for a half-pint. Gal workin' the window didn't know the difference between a pint and a half-pint, poor thang. It turns out that's exactly how much I need to make enough for one B&G meal.

Worth The Wait

Yep, I done went and used that Kroger gift card halfway up this morning, on the fixin's for hillbilly ambrosia -- biscuits and gravy! Whoo-hooo! I haven't had any homemade biscuits and gravy in forever, and I wasn't sure I could pull it off... making the gravy is an art AND a science, I fear, and it doesn't always turn out they way one would like, at least when Chef Jeff's whoopin' it up, anyway. :)

Now, I was at a disadvantage, 'cause I was sure I had some plain white flour in the cupboard... and I did not. So, I substituted a bit of pancake mix. After all, it's mostly flour. It worked well, but the resulting gravy was sweeter than it would have otherwise been. At least I know it will work, in a pinch...

Here's what you have to start with (besides the pork product of your choice):

These are light, fluffy, moist biscuits that are melt-in-your-mouth good. Not like granny made -- better, IMO. They're found in the grocer's frozen section, and take about 20 minutes in a 400°F oven (middle rack), on an ungreased baking sheet to be golden brown on top, and slightly crisp on the bottom. Damn, these are gooooooo-ood, as Andy might say.

The results? Not too damn bad, considering:

I'm full as a tick, Martha.
