When I posted this yesterday I hadn't had a chance to read it yet. I still haven't read it all, but I took a copy of the guide making articles to Hardees this morning to read over biscuits and gravy. I can't believe how simple it is to make a guide. Now, that doesn't mean I'm smart enough to actually do it. But I'm definitely going to try.
