I used to have to go to Los Angeles on business trips in my corporate days.  The home fair there is something called "goughowtneet" and "taikowit".

What's a monkey biscuit, Trc^? :-/

[Jeff]

Tammy makes what she calls monkey bread, tastes kinda like a gooey cinnamon roll.

Monkey bread is a term used for any bread that you're supposed to eat monkey style (you just tear it up with your hands and stuff it into your pie hole). The messier the better. Mmmmm mmmmm goooood! ;D ;D ;D I've never heard of monkey biscuits, but I know this ole boy from Kentucky who would rather eat biscuits with butter or honey on them than anything else. I went elk hunting with him in CO and he would take a dozen buttered biscuits out with him every day and come back with an empty ziploc.

 :  Cedar Eater---- I read your post about working in the oil
industry. I worked for Aminoil and Phillips Petroleum for
18 years on the LA. Gulf coast.

macurtis -- I worked for Mobil Oil in Torrance, CA and Fairfax, VA until Exxon became ExxonMobil in '00. It seemed like a good time to leave. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I visited the Mobil refineries in Chalmette, LA and Beaumont, TX often enough to find some of the best local restaurants.

Southern CA was fine while I was young, single and didn't need to care where I slept. After getting married and buying a house (and getting older), it became more obvious that it wasn't a very interesting place. :

VA was nice, but my commute was an hour each way and making a living started to seem more like making a dying. :(

So now I'm where I want to be and I'm doing what I want to do. Fortunately, I'm one of the few people who can be satisfied with that.  :D :D

ok .. heres how ya make monkey biscuits .. ya take day old biscuits .. (fresh dont work out to well, but will work) .. then you cut them in half .. slabb on some butter .. then put in a hot fryinpan  butter side down .. brown it real good .. then you take and pour in a good helpin of 'STEENS Ribbon cane syrup' .. or can use dark 'KARO' syrup (just not as good) .. then heat the whole thing up till the syrup is boilin pretty good .. place the biscuits on plate .. pour the boiled syrup on .. then stand back so ya dont get ran over ... yup .. good stuff...

   THAT'S a DanG good idea! That thread won't have no end :D  lw

Funny you should mention that, Trc^. Just this morning, I was having breakfast at a little cafe, with one of my co-workers. We were enjoying the grilled biscuits, along with grit, eggs, and bacon. They split the biscuit, butter it, and grill it, face down, where they've been cooking the bacon. They went down mighty good with some peach jam.

I was telling my buddy how I always enjoyed the "biscuit toast" my mom always made from leftover biscuits. She split, buttered, then broiled them for a few minutes. Sure beats toast from a toaster!!
