But your poignant post is what drew me in this time, so I read previous posts to get some sense of your story. Your observations and honest eloquence in reporting is a real advocate for your Mom and other cancer patients. Positive thoughts to you & your Mom, and thanks for the recipes!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153228502785993376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-66283991501584784752009-03-27T10:45:00.000-05:002009-03-27T10:45:00.000-05:00The recipe sounds perfect.

They were comforting to us all. When I was visiting his mother over the past Thanksgiving, she sent me home with a whole Country ham. "It will be comforting", she said.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad your mother is doing so well through her treatment. And you are right, the Ham biscuits are comfort food.breadchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376772267923924607noreply@blogger.com
