I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by good cooks. Cooks who’d had hard lives and knew how to make do and delicious with simple ingredients. Flour, butter, eggs, sausage.

Cast iron sausage biscuits were my favorite and my Mimi made the very best.

This morning I woke up and literally SMELLED sausage biscuits on the stove even though no one was making them and my Mimi has been gone for many years now.

So I decided to follow the smell and made a batch — the best batch I’ve ever made — so perfect, it was as if someone else’s hands were making them and moving through me. Maybe they were.

THIS is the power of food. THIS is what Slow Food is about. Slowing down and making time for core memories and delighting in the company of kitchen ghosts.

What are YOU making this gorgeous morning?
