Hmmm - a 60's flick....no fat people....probably no african americans,bi-sexuals,punk-rockers,or Nomads either.....but I bet a few were smoking
cigarettes!.....these times, they are a changin.....and there is still nothing you can do to keep your last day on earth from being your last day on
earth,for what ever reason.....I've read studies that say laughter will add years to your life, and stress will kill you....so let's all just get
along and be happy while we are here....Green tea and oatmeal-or- bisquits and gravy...side by side.

You're 105% correct Al. Except my parents became better cooks as time went on. They too were in their eighties and my dad chain-smoked most of his
life.
I like fried chicken and a host of other foods I was raised on. Too bad you can't find my mom's chicken, it was fantastic. Also, I'm a sucker for a
good hamburger. I guess something set me off and it was the gravy. One of our nearby restaurants serves buckets of it.
Unfortunately, I was told by one of their cooks what they make it with. It's sold in large buckets and it is a product I would never employ
regardless of what I cooked. Thinking about that and the fact that they have a regular biscuit and gravy breakfast crowd sparked my protest. I can
imagine a healthier product like a gravy made from the fat of an animal like I make for Thanksgiving. Yet these people love it and Soulpatch has a
point, I am a food snob in the fact that I use ingredients that are not formulated in some lab. You see, we fry nothing or use anything but butter for
fat.. This is an alternative that many people seek out.
Personally speaking Al, your statement:"My god man...what do you put in your gravy???" was exactly my jist. I would like people to know more about
what they really are eating. I realize that could be painful for some. Many would rather not know.
Bajadedom, I don't know how old you are but when I grew up there were virtually no fat people in school. Today is a different story. We could talk
about what our kids are ingesting thanks to our generation and why and how they got like fat(12% are obese) at such an early age. Look at
high-fructose corn syrup. Doesn't really sound bad does it, but it's exacting a huge toll collectively.
I hope people don't defend stuff that's bad for kids, why would they, unless they possess the same addictions.
Again though, I understand that diversity of foods and foods without all the hollow ingredients inserted in processed foods can add many years to us
and our children. Is that so wrong. Moderation?
As far as that gravy goes, eat it but don't get so fixed on it that it cancels out our/your good intentions.
DON\'T SQUINT! Give yer eyes a break!

I know people who go way overboard in both directions when it comes to eating. Some that eat anything and everything that tastes good and do so in
mass quantities. Others that wouldn't let a 'bad' calorie touch their lips. I do tend to be more in the 1st category. I've heard the "sermons" over
and over as we all have, just never paid much attention to the preachers. Anyway, here is the culprit:

Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and go for it.

Man, talking about hijacking a thread!
What began as an innocent little restaurant review has turned into a miscellaney of moralizing sermonettes that grown people of average intelligence
and judgement really don't need. Ascetics who promulgate the Dean Ornish diet have no business even reading restaurant reviews, let alone
contributing to them.
Please, keep your self-denial, your repudiation of the joy of living (and eating) to yourself. Me, I'm heading down to Baja Biscuits for a plate of
biscuits and sausage gravy before they close. I'll work it off later -- if I feel the need.

Sure makes me miss my granny---she made the best sausage gravy ever. Next time we are in La Paz, I look forward to trying this place----not to enjoy
the food, but just to see if it is any where near as good as granny's was. 
Thanks, it really does sound like a good place and while I love Mexican food, it is always nice to find a place for something different --- oh, you
did say the biscuits were homemade, didn't you---ouch, I am getting hungry.

Had the good ol' biscuits in gravy again this morning - fantastic as usual. This is coming from a Canuck who didn't grow up on the stuff in the ol'
south....
Been visitin' this place since it opened - and it's consistently good.
I recommend the hot chocolate too! Especially thru the cold.
