    This weekend, I made a rotisserie chicken, steamed broccoli, and a savory bacon dressing made with homemade cream biscuits (test to see if it was good enough to serve on Thanksgiving Day - it was, but required too much work on a day when ten other dishes are being prepared). OK, so I cheated on the rotisserie chicken and bought it from Publix. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
