a year in review, 2011

This year, like the year before, has been wonderful and full of family.

Personally, we’ve:

– celebrated our second wedding anniversary (with a wonderful trip to Savannah & Charleston)

– watched the one-year mark in our (not so) new jobs fly by

– celebrated the marriages of two dear family members

– said goodbye to loved ones, dear to our hearts

– created quite an impressive (if we do say so) art wall in our apartment

– increased the number of lipsticks in my collection

– watched as my youngest sister, gen, graduated from college

– dreamed up and created a pie festival

– spent more time with our three families than ever before

Biscuits and Such has: 

– been published in Southern Living

– celebrated its third year

– finished a redesign

– smoked our first LOCAL pork shoulder

– said goodbye to Menuism (sadly)

– said hello to many new followers

– made many new videos

As always, thank you for being here. Happy New Year.

Christmas Morning Special

Merry a few days after Christmas! We’re still in the throes of a whirlwind holiday extravaganza but I wanted to pop in and share a time-honored Waldron family tradition, the Christmas Morning Special.

Each year my Poppie makes this concoction, something he describes as a Southern Comfort Old Fashioned. It’s SoCo, orange juice, cherries, and oranges. Sweet, smooth, delicious, and festive. Perfect for a holiday morning!
