Last night I made pot roast and baking powder biscuits for dinner. One of my favorite things in the whole world is cooking a beef roast in the crockpot and having that amazing smell fill up the house all day long. And baking powder biscuits were one of the first things I learned to make on my own - right up there with pancakes (from scratch, of course). Last night's variety included cheese, garlic powder, and a dash of oregano - an improvement on the recipe since I learned it at 10.Both of my boys were big fans of the meal. The ultimate compliment was Alex eating it without any hot sauce - and those Crane boys love their hot sauce. Michael sat patiently with us in his high chair at the table while we enjoyed a leisurely dinner - and he expressed his enthusiasm for the menu by scarfing down bits of everything - carrots, potatoes, meat and biscuits. He hasn't quite mastered the pincer-grasp yet - and the small pieces were very hard to pick up - but if you hold a piece of food in front of his face he'll open his mouth wide like a little bird, and when that fails he'll reach out and pull your hand to his mouth until he gets the food. It's quite adorable.
We love our comfort food.
