Fun with Food

Southern Belle Biscuit Class
There’s an art to making a delicious biscuit–one I have yet to perfect. Perhaps I should sign up for this 2-hr, 15-minute hands-on tutorial in making biscuits and gravy, taught by Mary Ann Byrd, creator of the award-winning documentary The Rise of the Southern Biscuit.

Picture this: a cage match–but instead of wrestlers in tights, these warriors compete in full armor wielding various implements of destruction. You kinda gotta see the video to fully comprehend this form of mayhem.
