New Red Hot & Blue in Herndon, Va. Opens!

The Red Hot & Blue All Stars

Every now and then you find a clip on YouTube that is just amazing. This is an example, I call this clip the "The Red Hot & Blue All Stars." I would have loved being at this show. But it just so happens that this was filmed in 1963.

Can you imagine seeing Otis Spann, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Big Joe Williams, Willie Dixon, Victoria Spivey, Muddy Waters, Lonnie Johnson and Memphis Slim all on the same stage?

Easy Cheese Biscuits

Need a quick side to cap off a BBQ feast? This is a quick cheese biscuit recipe that has an emphais on quick. You could roll the dough and cut into neat rounds (trick: use an old clean soup can with both ends out for perfect round cuts) but these "drop" buscuits are a bit rustic and taste just as good.



2 cups bisquick baking mix

2/3 cup milk

1/4 Sour Cream

3/4 cup Kraft Mexican Cheddar Jack with Jalapeno

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

pich of salt

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Heat oven to 450. Mix baking mix, milk, & cheese until a soft dough forms; beat vigorously for 30 seconds. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cooking sheet. Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Mix butter & garlic powder. Brush garlic mixture over warm biscuits before removing from cookie sheet. Serve warm. Makes 12.
