EASY BISCUITS
2 Cups Self-Rising Flour
1 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Crisco Shortening
Preheat the oven to 400. Use a 9 x 13 pan. Pour a thin layer of oil all over the bottom of the pan. I use about 1/3 cup as to me that is what makes the biscuits so crusty. When you get your batter made up put the pan in the oven to get it hot. But watch it and don't let it catch on fire. In a medium bowl add the flour and then the crisco. Cut the crisco into the flour with a pasty blender or a fork. I use my fork. Pour the milk in next and stir until it is just wet. Do not over stir as it will make the biscuits tough. I put some melted mag. on top of mine after they have baked for about 10 minutes or until the tops are hard. You may have to add a little more milk to the mixture if to dry. Drop the biscuits by the spoonfuls (use a tablespoon) onto the hot pan and bake for 15 minutes. I cut my oven back to 350 as they will scorch easy on the bottom.

APPLE JACK DELIMIA
While having most all of the family in for 4th of July I had taken my granddaughter grocering with me to get some things she liked to eat. She picked her out a choc. bar of course, just like mamaw, and a box of Apple Jacks and some pop.
So she wanted some apple jacks for breakfast, as I was busy trying to cook for a family homecoming we were having and did not fix any breakfast that morning.
I noticed she did not eat all of them and really never thought much about it. So she wanted some more the next day for a snack and she said to me how they did not taste right.
I knew that we had just opened up a new box and there was nothing wrong with them. She went home and I sent the rest of the box home with her to eat.
Her mom asked her if she wanted some for breakfast and she said no they do not taste right. She ask her why do they not taste right. They just don't she said. She is so funny can come up with the funnist stuff to say. So she kept on asking her and she replyed: They did not come from Walmart, mamaw got them at Kroger's and they do not taste right. Well they were the name brand and not the store brand so we knew there was nothing different about them. But because they did not come from Walmart they were not the right kind she liked.
Now that is just like a child. You think that they don't pay much attention but they sure do. She thought that you had to buy them at Walmart always because she got to put them in the buggy.
We finely told her it does not matter what store you get your cearl at it is all the same. I wonder what she will come up with next.
