a biscuit tribute

an ode to biscuits ...

i have a professor, whose wife cooks home made biscuits for any and all who would come and eat them every Tuesday morning ... from 7-9:30 ... its one of the more amazing things of my entire auburn career ... i mean, i can wake up late and roll out of bed and have a hot breakfast ... but not just bed .... she always has with the biscuits ... a ham, some variety of fruit, a host of drinks, including an unending pot of coffee, a wide assortement of jellies - often homemade jams - she even has sugar free jellies for the diabetic who goes to be filled ... she has to big chucks of cheese, typically cheddar (my favorite) and some mixed cheese (yellow and white) ... not sure what it is, but its tasty ... she even made sweet potato biscuits for us one morning ... again entirely homemade ... and when i say home made, i mean it ... there is no mix to add milk and eggs to ... it is flour and whatever else goes into biscuits all over her counter, with pan after pan after pan ... after pan of biscuits continuously being served to all who hunger ... imagine the best biscuit you have ever had ... multiply the yummy goodness of that by about 12.37 and thats how good these are ... they are crisp, yet fluffy, always warm and golden baked across the top ... then the rest is up to your very own personal preference ... maybe you want a ham and cheese biscuit, you're in luck ... maybe you just want a plain biscuit to slip pieces to Ace, the family mascot Boxer ... who is always game for a biscuit or as many as he could get in his stomach ... maybe you want a jellied biscuit with a tall cold glass of milk ... its there ... fresh apples? yep ... everything ...

still the best part of it all is the open door policy, the welcoming of students into a home, and a good home ... parents who love their 2 kids (one of whom is in college), and by the nature of their kids, love all who visit them as well ... just differently than they love their kids ... they do it, all on their own accord, to serve and love us in a tangible way ... to love us thru the open hands and heart of Jesus Christ ... its simply great.
