My Southern Style Homemade Biscuits

I love to cook, though I eat out quite often. I have always enjoyed the art of baking. Baking for me is a hobby, from which I get delicious results. I often share my culinary creations with others. Here is just a sample of my baking, like any ordinary morning at 6:00 a.m., preparing my Southern Style Homemade Biscuits. Once baked to a golden perfection, I brush the tops of my biscuits with melted butter and serve with one of the many varieties of BAMA Jam, Jelly or Preserves. BAMA is a Southern tradition, located in Birmingham, Alabama - Hence the name of their product 'BAMA'. I love clover honey and orange blossom honey with my biscuits. Sometimes, a homemade sorghum is in order. Or I will cook Jimmy Dean Sausage and make a sausage biscuit. And if I am really wanting something to tie me over, I will make a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit.

Mississippians like BAMA products, too!

Enjoy! I did! Even at 6:00 a.m. with bed-head!

Good Eats!

October Days

October's canvas and it's scene are colors of red, gold, orange and green. The days are shorter with crisp cool days - bring out the sweaters, hats and boots. The barns along a county road show their wear, and hay stacks and pumpkins are everywhere. There is sugarcane, colorful corn, and shapes of gourds, and so much more. A fall festival is just the thing, with bonfires, hayrides and simple things. A cornfield maze is lots of fun, as is bobbing for apples with everyone. Roasting wienies by the fire, and toasting marshmallows brings a smile.
Scary ghost stories gives us chills - even the scarecrow lets out a squeal!
Autumn is my favorite season, and these are just some of the reasons.

I love my new raccoon sweater hat!

Happy Birthday, Elena!

Happy Birthday, Elena! - Hey, that is me!

I had a wonderful birthday and it is coming to a close. I am glad birthdays are only once a year or they would not be as special or be as appreciated.

I got many beautiful birthday wishes, cards, gifts and money! My Mom gave me a Canon EOSRebel T3 DSLR 12.2MP Camera with two lens, the complete kit and access. I will put it to good use. I could do like my friends said and have a little business on the side - in photography.

Next year; 2012, my birthday will fall on a Saturday. I will have to plan something spectacular! I cannot wait!

Here are some of my birthday photographs and a couple of videos. My friends and co-workers did an awesome rendition of 'Happy Birthday' - I am glad it was recorded, so I could share it with you...Enjoy!

Our servers were so kind to me, as well. Again, out of respect, I do not post everyone's photo (some do not like their photos on the Internet).

Many thanks to all of you who wished me a Happy Birthday! Love and Blessings -

This lady gave me life - I love you, Mom!

So thankful my Mom was with me to celebrate my Birthday.

I wanted Polar Fleece sheet-set for Fall
and a Sunshine Yellow Coverlet and Shams
for my bed, to bring warmth and cheer.

I am loving my Canon my Mom gave me for my Birthday!
Thank you, Mom, my dearest of all.

I will put it to good use. I know, I know!
How many more photos must you endure?
100,000,000,000,000,000 or there about.

Thank you, again, for all the Birthday Wishes!
