I love spicy food. I also love biscuits. So why not have both together?
These crumbly biscuits are perfect with soup or, of course, alone!
My brief is done! I must admit that for a few days I felt like I didn’t do anything but write that brief! However, it does feel good to know I wrote it! Next is the oral argument … but not yet!
Even though I sometimes feel law school keeps me inside, I have to laugh about studying law! So this song reminds me things won’t always be this way. Take a listen to “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” sung by Ella Fitzgerald.
