Author Notes
At our house, we all have Sunday off. The Television stays off, and the music is turned on. For me, it is the one morning I can cook whatever breakfast dream I have been been living in all week. This past autumn, I spent 11 weeks living, working and cooking on farms throughout the northwest, and I am truly feeling homesick for the farm. So I cooked organic bacon (not as good as the fresh farm butchered and cured, but close), rosemary biscuits inspired by Dabbling's "Sweet Rosemary Buttermilk Biscuits" (missing the rosemary bush that every farm had) and yogurt and pears (if only I had a goat to make fresh milk and yogurt from). —MandyJene
