Also, we hunt restaurants that serve homemade biscuits. Since I officially retired from biscuit making at the tender age of 18, Mike and I proudly bake Pillsbury frozen biscuits. What was she thinking? It sounded like a recipe for disaster, and it was. Smith’s decision to have high schoolers make such a biscuit. Amelia said, “The biscuits blew up in the oven, made a big mess and were inedible.”Īs veteran, retired teachers, Amelia and I now question Mrs. Amelia and the students in her group were given a biscuit recipe that included adding jelly inside the biscuit. Recently, I talked with Amelia about those biscuits we made so long ago. However, they certainly weren’t the melt-in-your-mouth, float-off-the-plate biscuits that my Grandma Patton made. I don’t remember how the biscuits tasted. I was mortified and still bear the scars 42 years later.Īlso, for the first and last time in my life, I made homemade biscuits for a group project. Smith, our home economics teacher (not her real name), insisted that we model our creations in a class fashion show. It took me the ENTIRE grading period to make a Kelly green wrap-around skirt. Amelia reminded me that some of the male students made SUITS. I was a terrible seamstress I had not inherited Mother Mac’s (my maternal grandmother) giftedness for making clothes.ĭuring the six weeks, we had to make an article of clothing.
I disliked cooking in fact, the last time I loved to cook was on my Easy Bake Oven and 2. I soon learned two important things in home ec.: 1. Thankfully, when my good friend Amelia and I were seniors at Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City (“Eleck” City to the locals), home ec was still an elective, so we signed up for it.

Our home ec teacher taught them how to cook meals, sew, etc.

Therefore, our kids had to provide supper for their younger brothers and sisters. Also, some of those students had to help take care of younger siblings when they got home from school because their parents worked the second or third shift. Over 60% of our students lived in poverty. When the class was dropped, another computer course took its place. One class that has fallen by the wayside is home economics, or “home ec.” When Mike and I taught at Long Cane Middle School in LaGrange, Georgia, home ec was an exploratory or elective class until about 2003.īack then, it was called Family and Consumer Science, a fancy name for home ec. Hopefully moving forward they will have a better spill-proof container for the syrup to prevent another issue.Many changes have come about in education in the last few decades. The owner did reach out to pay a portion of the detail work. Admittedly their food was good, but not worth the huge sticky mess, headache, and time.Įdit: Changed from a 1 to 4 stars on. I cant not recommend their catering due to this. Uh, hello! You think we want to come back to your restaurant after they were careless with their packing causing a super sticky mess and offer poor customer service for their mistake? It cost time and money to get the interior cleaned. Giving the benefit of the doubt, we reached out to the restaurant and we were told there is nothing they can do, other than give us a discount on a future order. So instead of me getting to attend the event I got the pleasure of taking our car to get it detailed on the inside to get rid of the super sticky mess in our carpet. After trying to figure out what happened we noticed someone thought it was a great idea to put liquid syrup in an aluminum pan and wrap it in a little Saran Wrap as if thats going to seal it in!?! However, they were smart enough to put the apple butter in a sealed container. After picking up the order and getting to the event we were greeted with a ton of sticky pancake SYRUP spilt all in the floor board of our vehicle!! Not to mention over the other catering order. We ordered almost $300 catering order for an event.
