Biscuits and gravy!

I really like biscuits and gravy. I can’t help it. I’d eat it every day for breakfast if there was a good supply near me.

In Portland, The Delta Cafe used to serve breakfasts and there was nothing at all like walking to the Delta on a Saturday morning and eating a plateful of biscuits and gravy as the sun slants in through the window and breaks into rays and colors through the funky glass bead curtains they hang. Delta Cafe — do you hear me? Your food’s great, but I miss the breakfasts!

I’ve tried biscuits and gravy from lots of places, including biscuits and a vegan almond gravy (strange, but still tasty). Many people have made biscuits and gravy for me. Hell, in desperation one weekend, I poured chicken gravy over my biscuits at the Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I wish there was a 12-step addiction program for biscuits and gravy so that I could refuse to go.
