I figured you would know the meaning since I think of that as a southern expression. Here in Indiana they don't know what is meant by it either. Same with english peas as opposed to green peas. Regional dialects are so interesting.vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-4849092282583587752017-09-01T07:35:38.084-07:002017-09-01T07:35:38.084-07:00Thanks, Briony.Thanks, Briony.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-61832074684933070372017-09-01T07:34:43.773-07:002017-09-01T07:34:43.773-07:00Glad you liked them, Vic.

And too I make my biscuits very thin, with an almost crispy bottom like my mother did but I love those big thick biscuits like the ones you get at Cracker Barrel so I copied this recipe and will try it soon.vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-13009784584075347432017-08-29T10:02:43.698-07:002017-08-29T10:02:43.698-07:00The more I think about what Cocoa did, the more I ...The more I think about what Cocoa did, the more I think he was just scared and trying to get my daughter's attention.

That is strange about the cat biting. I've always heard that animals can tell when something bad is about to happen. Cocoa looks very sweet and calm.
