Biscuits Baby!

The daughter is a childhood friend of Rachel’s and it’s her first baby. A celebration was clearly in order.
Susan was a bit flustered when I called her to see what I could bring. It was the holidays after all. “Call Johanna,” she said. “She’s the one in charge.”
So I dutifully called and while I had hoped to bring one of the 3,000 holiday baked goods/chocolates already made, desserts were not what she needed. Nope, what they needed to go with the four different (and I might now add, fabulous) homemade soups and country ham was biscuits.
