I’m not sure there is
anything harder than coming to the realization that no matter what you do you
can’t save someone from themselves. I
firmly believe that family, friends and loved ones should be loved
unconditionally…up to a point. I do have
a condition when it comes to watching someone destroy themselves. It is just hard to know what that line really
is and when is the right time to be the better friend by walking away from the
situation. All you can really do is
hope that one day they will truly want to change. The joy and pride in seeing someone you care
about finally figure out that they are the only person in charge of their own
happiness is immeasurable. It just can
be difficult when you can’t help them see what you already know to be true.
On a lighter note, this
morning we had sweet potato biscuits. I highly
recommend trying it!
Paula Deen’s Sweet
Potato Biscuits
Ingredients
2 heaping tablespoons
sugar
4 teaspoons baking
powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup mashed cooked
sweet potatoes
¼ cup softened butter
2 to 4 tablespoons
milk (depending on the moisture of the potatoes)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to
450 degrees. Sift together flour, sugar,
baking powder and salt. In a separate,
large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes and butter. Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture
and mix to make a soft dough. Then add
milk a tablespoon at a time to mixture and continue to cut in. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and
toss lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth. Roll the dough out to ½ inch thick and cut
with a biscuit cutter. Place the
biscuits on a greased pan and coat tops with melted butter. Bake for about 15 minutes. (Watch your oven: if the biscuits are browning too fast, lower
the temperature.)
