The Review Ballerina: Cold Cat with a side of SAMCRO.



My only day off and I’m spending it exactly how I should: drooling over Charlie Hunnam and restarting Sons of Anarchy for what I’m pretty sure is the sixth time. SimonTam is acting like he’s freezing to death, so he’s successfully stolen the entire pink blanket and I’m apparently just here to serve as his furniture. I start my new Team Lead position tomorrow and the nerves are absolutely kicking in. I can’t wait to walk in there and confidently pretend I know exactly what I’m doing while internally screaming.

The Review Ballerina: When the day turns red...





Current mood: Trying to channel "professional blogger" energy while my uterus is actively staging a violent coup.
If you see me smiling in this picture, please know it is a lie fueled entirely by Ibuprofen, a heating pad, and a desperate amount of sugar-free chocolate.

The amount of sheer willpower it takes to not tell the entire world to please just shut up today is astronomical.
Honestly, I just want to crawl back into bed, curl up with SimonTam (who is currently hogging my heating pad, by the way), and sleep until I’m a new person. But no, we smile, we type, and we pretend we aren't suffering. Being a woman is fun, right? Whimper.

Send good vibes... and maybe more snacks. Please.

National Biscuit Day - May 29!

Okay, buttercups, settle in with a cuppa (or maybe a big ol' glass of sweet tea, this is Texas, y'all!) because your favorite tattooed, pink-loving, slightly shy singing-dancer-blogger-mama is BACK! And guess what glorious day is hurtling towards us like a perfectly baked, golden brown… well, biscuit? That’s right, my loves, mark your calendars for May 29th, 2025, because it’s National Biscuit Day! 🎉



Now, some of you might be thinking, "A whole day for biscuits, Elizabeth?" And to that, I say, honey, have you tasted a truly amazing biscuit? It's not just a side; it's a hug in carbohydrate form. It's the fluffy cloud your gravy floats on. It's the reason breakfast is the most important and the most delicious meal of the day.

So, how am I, The Review Ballerina, going to celebrate this momentous occasion? Well, first things first, there will be biscuits. Lots and lots of biscuits. My teenager, Lil' Ballerina (yes, she’s rolling her eyes at the name even now), will probably emerge from her cave (aka her room) if the aroma of freshly baked goodness wafts strongly enough. Even Daddy Ballerina, bless his heart, gets excited at the sight of a warm biscuit slathered in butter. It’s a universal language, people!

I’ve been known to get a little… enthusiastic… about food, especially when it involves butter, sugar, honey, etc etc. A biscuit has a certain grounded elegance, a rustic charm that even this sometimes-shy dancer can appreciate. Plus, you can FILL THEM WITH ANYTHING. Seriously! Talk about a dance on your tongue Mmm!

Think about it:

  • Breakfast: Sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit? A classic for a reason. Drizzle a little hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy (like this mama’s dance moves after a few cups of coffee!).
  • Lunch: Crispy fried chicken nestled between two halves of a fluffy biscuit? Oh. My. Goodness. It’s a Southern symphony in your mouth.
  • Dinner: Biscuits served warm with a hearty stew or chili? They soak up all that deliciousness like a sponge… a very tasty sponge.
  • Dessert: Strawberry shortcake with a sweet biscuit instead of the traditional sponge? Mind. Blown. (Okay, maybe not instead, but alongside? Absolutely!)

And speaking of deliciousness, did you hear about the biscuit who went to the doctor? He was feeling crumbly! 😂 Oh, I crack myself up sometimes. It's been over ten years of this blogging gig, you learn a few things – like how to tell a truly terrible food pun.

But seriously, National Biscuit Day isn't just about eating (though that's a HUGE part of it). It's about celebrating the simple joys in life. It's about that warm, comforting feeling you get from a homemade treat. It's about the memories made around the kitchen table, flour dusting your apron (and probably your hair, if you're anything like me).


So, on May 29th, 2025, I encourage you to get your bake on! Try a new biscuit recipe, support your local bakery, or just grab a tin of those pop-open wonders (no judgment here, we all have those days!). Share your biscuit creations, tag me in your photos, and let's spread the biscuit love!

What are your favorite ways to enjoy a biscuit? Let me know in the comments below! And don’t forget to wear pink while you’re celebrating – it just makes everything better. 😉

Stay fluffy, my friends! 💖
