Brooke, practice...alot! I used to practice while my husband was at work, when we first married. I could make the best creamed potatoes and roasts. BUT I had never made homemade biscuits. So while hubby was at work, I would practice. Of course I threw out a lot of those 'practice biscuits', had to be careful when throwing them out, because we had chickens running lose out in our yard, I swear if I had hit one of those poor chickens, it would have killed it. It would have been like throwing a rather large STONE at them.

Johanna, I made a Pumpkin pie one time, forgot to put the sugar in. It tasted very salty! Now everybody teases me and ask if I put the sugar in, I always say yeah I put the sugar in, but I think I used Cayenne pepper instead of the Cinnamon. LOL, I will have to really do that sometime..then turn the water off and watch the fun.
