"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
Aunt Martha had Rhode Island Reds setting hens as they made good mothers. She loved to have fryers on hand especially when it was too hot to butcher beef. She would build a fire in the old wood stove and by the time the water was boiling she had wrung the fryer's neck and let it bleed for a few minutes. She would quickly scald it in a bucket, jerked the feathers off, cut it up, added salt, pepper and flour it then fried it in butter in a big iron skillet. She would pour off some of the butter and make gravy with fresh milk. While the chicken was frying she made biscuits.

These were the "modern-day" kind she created herself. She always was one to find shortcuts. She pre-mixed flour, salt, and shortening in about a five-pound sack of flour. When she was ready to make bread, she added soda to the clabber or buttermilk and mixed the amount of dough she wanted (if on a picnic, she didn't remove it from the sack, she just made it in the top of the bag) she melted butter in the bread pan, rolled the biscuits out, cut them up, dipped them in hot grease and flipped them over. She then baked them in a hot oven or Dutch oven.
