Friday Foto Friends

I saw a wonderful sky yesterday with a unique cloud they call a cloud shelf. It was so amazing. As I watched the sky changing as I was driving to work, I knew I had to stop at Walmart parking lot and get pics for Friday Foto Friends. 

This one scared me. It looked like an alien ship was about to land.

As I left Walmart and headed toward Pigeon Forge, I would snap a pic anytime I got caught by a light. The sky changed every few minutes as the storm moved closer in.

Fifteen minutes after I left Walmart I was getting near work and look how black the sky was. This one scared me more than the first scary one did. See how dark the road got. This was at 10:30 in the morning.

Sure enough, soon after the black cloud the raindrops started falling, but not too hard or fast.

Of course, by the time I got in the parking lot it was raining hard and so windy that my umbrella wasn't much protection. So I did get a little wet. 

It left as fast as it came and it turned out to be a beautiful day. I worked until around dusk and as I stopped at Waffle House for some hash browns. I realized we had a beautiful sky at night as well. 

So I thought it was a perfect way to end my day by taking more pics for this post.

Ms. Debbie I HOPE you like the pics I got for this weeks Friday Foto Friends!

Gravy and biscuits..

I don't know about other parts of the world, but in the South we love our biscuits and gravy. And not just for breakfast. Ask just about any Southerner and they will say they love to have breakfast for supper (which for those of you who do not speak Southern, supper is dinner to more refined folks).

I occasionally will have a hankerin' for breakfast for supper. Sometimes I want bacon and sometimes I want sausage and sometimes I have been known to make both. 

And a breakfast supper is not complete without biscuits. I am not a homemade biscuit kind of gal though. I like Hungry Jack to do all the work and I just pop the can and place them in the oven.  Sometimes it is buttermilk flaky but mostly it is southern style. 

And if I am having biscuits for supper there had better be gravy. But here is where my West Virginia roots show through. We do sausage gravy don't get me wrong. But Mom made a lot of bacon gravy when I was little so that's my favorite. It is simply equal amounts of flour and bacon grease made into a rue, then add salt, pepper and milk and cook it down. It is one of the rare completed homemade items I know how to make and actually tastes delicious. This popped up in my Facebook from 2 years ago when I made it. And that's what started me craving breakfast for supper.

Of course, add in some fried eggs and a skillet of hash browns and you won't have just breakfast. You will have a heart attack on a plate. But oh, it is so good.
