I admit, I am postophobic. I am nervous, anxious, frightened to make my first post. I love reading food blogs, admire writers who are witty, have large vocabs, interesting stories about their cooking and their food adventures. I’m sure I will not be witty, admit that I have a limited vocab, and fear my cooking escapades will seem dull to readers, but I’m going to try it anyway!
I was (mentally) searching for a First Post when my husband called me yesterday evening: “You know that food blog you have been talking about starting? How about writing about the breakfast you are making for the JR’s high school golf team tomorrow morning at 7 AM?” “What breakfast?” I asked. “Just 6 of them”, he replied. OK, no problem. Threw together a menu, ran to the grocery store, filled up 5 hungry boys and 1 coach this morning, and sent them out the door to the Conference golf tournament.
Star of the show, biscuits and gravy. First fail on First Post-no pictures. Have patience, I promise to do better!

Additional First Post notes: Thanks to daughters 1 & 2 and son-in-law 1 for helping me set up my blog. I am technologically challenged as they well know and they are very patient with my efforts! Thanks to daughter 3 for helping to name the site! Thanks to the remaining kids for eating my cooking! And thanks to husband for EVERYTHING!
So sad I missed the biscuits and gravy! Third to last Monday college breakfast consisted of…drumrolllllll…… peanut butter crackers. Needless to say, I need some lessons. Keep the blog rollin! The belly of daughter 3 depends on it!!!
As well as the belly of soon to be son-in-law 3… That’s probably a little more vital!
Hilarious!
I’m proud of you, sis!
Great post! I enjoyed the about me section as well!
Way to go!! Keep the posts coming for Daughter 1 and feel free to include lots of details in the recipes 😉
Oh my goodness! This will be a very exciting blog. You are such an amazing chef. I can’t wait to follow this. I’m telling all my friends! The recipe looks great. I have never thought of adding cayenne pepper and worcestershire sauce. I also thinks it’s awesome that you taught me how to spell worcestershire.
Sounds good. I know the boys enjoyed the breakfast
I agree with D, my spelling/vocabulary has already improved after reading your blog! First, I learned how to spell worcestershire correctly, then I typed it into MS Word to make sure I retyped it right in here and realized it was capitalized there…then had to read up on that…and after some heavy internet reading and learning how to properly pronounce it from a voice recording of a man with a lovely English accent (who I have imagined is quite handsome) , I also discovered that the main ingredient in worcestershire is … anchovies!
But all the while, I should have been cooking, cuz this recipe makes me hungry
You are teaching me too, I never guessed what was in worcestershire sauce!! Love your name! Ha!
What a great idea for a “deb-blog”. Look out. It might cause more people to ask you to cook for them… just so you’ll write something about them! How did the golf team do? Is that in someone else’s blog?
The golf team is in a rebuilding year
You are welcome to clean a lil’ any time you want!
Very cool …. Before you know it – you’ll have your own TV show
