Every now and then, it's good to get a taste of home. I don't make gravy and biscuits too often because I really don't need to carbs, and bacon is pretty expensive here. I had a quiet, chilly September Saturday night, though, so I made some. It didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped; my bacon wasn't fatty enough to really give enough grease so the gravy was a bit bland. Still, it was nice to have a truly southern meal!
In the biscuits above, you can see the one I pinched to try the raw dough. Whenever my mother and I were every baking biscuits, we'd always pinch a bite of the salty dough. Do any of you do that?
You can see a bit of my kitchen here. I have a built-in range on the counter, but it's not hooked up to gas. I also have the freestanding stove, and I really didn't need both just for one person. The freestanding one has an electric oven, one electric burner, and three gas burners, and is hooked up to a small gas cannister that I can lift myself. The built-in one would be hooked to a large outdoor gas can about three times the size of the one you can see. So, I chose the freestanding one to have the oven and because I can call a boda boda (motorcycle taxi) to go pick up a new gas canister for me, while the big one would require a car and two people to move it.
