“Just Roll with It” Serving up Recipes and Humor

Hello everyone! I love this weather. It is perfect for me. When I leave for work, it is chilly, and when I get home, it’s nice and warm.
My Yankee husband hated summers in Arkansas. I told him he shouldn’t have married a hillbilly if he didn’t want to live in Arkansas. I also told him if he was going to live in Arkansas, he had to pronounce words like they were supposed to be pronounced.
We argued our whole married life over the city of Lavaca, as he pronounced it La-vah-ca. I said, “That is not how you pronounce it.” He never would call it anything else. He could say Ouachita perfectly fine. His mother, on the other hand, pronounced it Wa-chee-ta.
You can’t teach them Yankees. Just kidding, ya’ll know he couldn’t teach me, always wanting me to watch the History Channel. And his famous words, as I have said before, were, “Why don’t you want to learn?” It would make him so mad because I would say, “I don’t want to learn!!”
Jacob does this same thing to his wife, Loren. He asks her questions and then gives her a lesson if she don’t know the answer. She said he says the same thing to her, “Why don’t you want to learn?”
I don’t know how I got off on all that, but I was going to ask, do certain smells or things you eat or drink bring back memories from your childhood?
I bought me a grape soda pop and opened it a few minutes ago, and the memories rushed back from my childhood when my sister, Pam, and I would be allowed to walk to the Kerr McGee station in Mansfield and buy a pop and a candy bar. I know we drove Mamie and Pappy Reece crazy because we couldn’t make a decision. We lived like three houses down from it in Mansfield.
My childhood home was at the Didier Lumber Company (sawmill). We lived right on the property. When I smell tree sap or pine rosin, I always think of my daddy. He worked at the mill and always had that smell on him. It always brings back a flood of memories.
I loved my daddy. He passed in 1981, but I never stop missing him.
Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them, and if you still have your parents, spend time with them.
APPLE PIE BISCUITS
8 frozen buttermilk biscuits, thawed (or you can use the big can biscuits)
1 21 oz. can of apple pie filling (chop the apples up)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub some butter over your pan or skillet. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg till all combined. Dip each biscuit into the butter then roll in the sugar mixture on both sides. Arrange in the skillet. Make sure you chop your apples up fine and add the vanilla to the pie filling. Arrange the pie filling evenly over the biscuits and sprinkle with nuts if you like them. Pour the melted butter over the top and sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. In a small bowl, whisk together some powdered sugar and milk and add a little vanilla to make a glaze. Drizzle on the biscuits and serve. Delicious! Have a wonderful week!
