HMC:  If i said you have a beautiful biscuit, would you hold it against me?
G:  Thanksgiving in one crunchy bite!
SG: The gouda and spinach played off of each other impressively, acting as perfect accompaniments to the classic, down home biscuit-- my favorite of all four <3
G: I like turkeys. 
HMC:  Perfect combo of ingredients.  Best name so far.
