Rhonda,

I hope you have as many good memories of your grandparents as I do of mine! 🙂

Thanks for stopping by, Mary! I subscribed to your feed and look forward to getting to know you.

I feel the same way you do about chocolate for breakfast. I not opposed to chocolate, at all. I just don’t crave it for breakfast. 🙂

Donna,
Welcome to Syrup and Biscuits! I am so happy you found us tucked away over here in our little corner of the world. I hope you visit us often. Invite your friends and family, too. We love company! Here’s are recipe for Ham Grits which is how I use my leftover Red-eye Gravy. This recipe actually starts the Red-eye gravy from scratch, but if I have some leftover from the precious morning, this is the way I use them up. I absolutely love, love, love these Ham Grits!! http://wp.me/P1lazE-tu

Thanks so much, Donna, for taking the time to read and comment. It means the world to me!

SweetSugarBelle,
Thank you. A lot of people were kind enough to let me know they enjoyed this post. I sure enjoyed authoring it, too!

Julia,
Welcome to Syrup and Biscuits! What a blessing beyond measure to wake up and find such an eloquent comment waiting for me. You have touched my heart with your words and have described exactly what Syrup and Biscuits is all about. I hope you visit often. If you haven’t found us on Facebook yet, come on over. I have LOTS more recipes and shorter stories over there. (www.facebook.com/syrupandbiscuits)

My Father “saucered” his coffee too, and we kids were allowed to have
coffee-milk which worked very well to warm us on cold mornings before
walking the mile or more to school. I was born in 1935, and grew up helping
my parents take care of her caged hens and frying -sized roosters and we’d
all spend an entire weekend working in our Victory Garden all during the
war years and afterwards.

Daddy would buy half a beef at the city’s Lockers where everyone rented
freezer space. The people there would cut up the beef just as you wanted
it, package, label and keep it in your locker. You’d pick up whatever you
wanted when you wanted it. You could also take anything you wanted to
freeze like the day my Uncle called and told us my Grandfather was very
ill and in the hospital. I helped Mother kill and butcher her 47 pullets
to be taken to the locker for freezing.

The memories that others are sharing here are as familiar to me as the
backs of my own hands, and it’s a real pleasure to find you.

Thank you all for sharing so generously.

Julia

Thanks so much, Lisa!

Adelina,
Thanks for stopping by! Syrup and biscuits is different than gravy and biscuits. They both are wonderful! Syrup and biscuits is simply syrup pour over hot biscuits or syrup mixed with butter and then sopped up with the biscuits. Give it a try sometimes!

Thanks for stopping by!

Angela,
