I got sucked into an episode of Wife Swap the other night - now I know I can't be alone in my opinion that this is one of the best guilty pleasure television shows on the air today, right? Anyway, if you're not familiar with the show, two individually crazy families trade mothers for 2 weeks, and each family thereby inflicts its horrendous culture on another family with an equally horrendous, yet polar opposite, lifestyle. Anyway, last night one family was way crazier than the other - they followed a raw food diet - including raw chicken, and something called "high meat", which as far as I can tell, is just rancid meat. Did I mention that they believed water is toxic, and you shouldn't wash your hands? They did practice dental hygiene, using homemade toothpaste made of butter and clay. Oh, gak. Anyway, there are very few foods that I have purposefully never tried, having had the chance (including raw chicken). I've never had biscuits and gravy, although I understand some people find it really delicious. To me, biscuits go with jam, full stop. However, this biscuits and gravy tutorial posted on The Pioneer Woman Cooks! may be enough to change my mind. It looks easy, and the simplicity of Jimmy Dean sausage is very appealing. I had a less-than-satisfying turkey andouille sausage from Whole Foods the other day, and I think sometimes sausage should just be sausage. However, I might have to insist on baking my biscuits from scratch.
