The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

I Love Your Comments

• Excellent tips. So happy to read your posts again...it's been too long!

• I'll be posting about the kids in a couple days, with a catch-up post on them.
  Suzanne McMinn on Ready, Set, Share
• Yes, I do. The sugar and additional flavor ingredients vary, as do the toppings, but the basic recipe is the same. Because it works. I'll be posting the Cranberry Orange Pecan recipe in a few days and you can figure the basic recipe from there.

• Glad to see you are alive and your store is successful. It all looks so good. WOW about Morgan! Awesome girl!!! I have just read about her and the boys for years. But this makes my heart happy to hear that she is getting a PhD. How are your two grown sons doing?

• Do you use the same basic recipe for all of your muffins?

• What's next? Deep fried chicken with grape jam and chocolate sauce? (Hmmmm. Worth a try.)

• I've actually tried to stop eating biscuits...all bread really. I'm married to a man who cannot eat them because he has juvenile diabetes, so I've tried to give them up too. But I do indulge. When I go to Cracker Barrell I always ask for fried apples with a side whipped cream for one of my sides. I slice open my hot buiscut & pour it all on. It's a perfect dessert!
  Jen on Biscuits with Icing
• I agree with you, however, I have enjoyed cinnamon raisin biscuits with icing (Hardee's).
  yvonnem on Biscuits with Icing
• That's a handy tip to know!Thanks for that and it's great to hear from you!
  allyoop451 on How to Zest the Best Lemon
• Biscuits, country ham, and red eye gravy!
  geekette on Biscuits with Icing
• I saw some blueberry biscuits online the other day and thought, hmmmmm. So I went to make some, but I used blackberries instead, complete with icing. The whole time I thought that I wouldn't care for these because I'm a biscuit lover from way back and always liked them exactly the way you said you did. Okay, I admit, these where pretty good!
