My mother's biscuits

My mother was born in Alexandria, Eygpt & raised in Nice, France.   My mother married my dad in 1946  after WWII.  Even though my mom didn't know how to cook she decided to make biscuits from scratch.  This was in 1947.  My dad had gone to the farm & she thought would be gone all day.  She wanted to make the biscuits so she could try them first.  My dad came home unexpectantly for lunch & my mom took the biscuits out of the oven & slide them under the bottom kitchen cabinets(at that time there was an opening).  My mom forgot the biscuits were there until 3 days later when a big rat came out from under the cabinets & died.  My parents were very surprised, so my dad looked where the rat came from. . He found that the rat had eaten my mom's biscuits.  To that day my mom has never made biscuits again.   What actually happened was my dad had put rat poisin and the poisin must had gotten on the biscuits.  My mom use to laugh at what happened. She even told friends about her biscuits.  Everybody thought it was funny.
