Last night my friend made a lovely dinner ... Lamb, green beans almondine, and roasted potatoes. All quite yummy.

Everything was going nicely, until my friend asked her daughter, who had done the shopping ... "Did you get the crescents?"

This, of course, means Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, an important part of any family holiday dinner.

You could feel the happiness melt out of the room ... "What do you mean you didn't get any crescent rolls?

That's when I sprang into action, pulled the combatants apart, and started asking where stuff was ... went online and found a biscuit recipe that they had all the necessary ingredients for, and set to work mixing and kneading. Everything was done and ready while the meat was resting and being carved.

Congrats on your triumph!!! and what a nice thing/gesture to do for you family!
Love,
Pam.
