First allow me to apologize for my very lengthy absence from The Reportery. What was meant to be a few week hiatus so I could focus on the conference turned into accepting a new job, dealing with my new daily commute to San Francisco and getting my life in order. That being said..
Christmas. How is it over? I am pretty much ignoring that there is one day left of December and continue to put my Christmas lights on every night when I get home. Eventually I will have to get rid of them but till that fateful day of lets say Jan 9th I refuse.
This year was a huge success! My family comes from many (try 7) different cultures so I try to pay tribute to them during the holidays. This year German won and I have to say it was one of the best Christmas dinners I’ve made in a long time. It reminded me of my grandma’s house and my mother said it was like going back to her childhood. All in all extremely happy with it. Christmas dinner can be anything you like, I have many friends who make turkey, others who prefer ham. Some that do fish or others beef. Some dinners are fancy, some incredibly easy. It’s whatever you think your family would enjoy, because that is what the holidays are for – loved ones.
On that note here are the recipes should you ever feel like cooking a delicious German meal. Continue reading “Christmas 2014”
How many mothers or grandmothers have added flour, butter and milk and kneaded it into the perfect flaky biscuit? Or realized that if you add milk and flour to heat a delicious gravy will soon follow after? Sometimes tradition is the best thing for the soul as I was so amazingly reminded of when I made the recipe below.
Biscuits & gravy are one of those simple comfort foods that make you feel warm & fuzzy inside. My sister requested that I make these and given that I’ve never tried them before I was a little hesitant. However, what sister wants sister gets so I woke up early on Saturday morning and set to make my kitchen a mess with flour.
The biscuits are flaky and the gravy a decadent, savory thick mess that goes oh so well. Make these for your loved ones on a Sunday morning and they shall love you forever.
