Today I am guest posting at BNOTP, and I am so excited. This is my first chance to guest post and best of all it is for my friend Susan at Between Naps On The Porch. Susan’s blog is one of the earliest blogs that I started reading. She is a Tablescaper and she is really good at it. That is not all she does, as you will see.
I kind of stalked her site for months before I got brave enough to comment. I have no idea now what I thought was going to happen, all I know is I was very apprehensive. Surprisingly she would comment back, sometimes with a smiley face or a lol. Sometimes she would send a link when I would ask, “Where do you store all those dishes?” As time went on I started emailing her and asking questions about how blogs work and asking for advice. She was so generous with me and would send me here and there to get information I needed. Maybe more importantly she was generous about cautioning me what not to do as much as advising me what to do.
Once again she demonstrated her generosity by inviting me to guest post. Now I am over the moon. Please go over to Susan’s and stalk her site to see how to set a beautiful welcoming table and while you’re at it, check out my pork chops. I can attest they are really good.
Thank you Susan.

Hi Madonna,
I’m coming over from BNOTP! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve been looking around on your site at your recipes and they all look so yummy! I haven’t made tomato gravy in a while, but when I do, I’m going to try your method! 🙂
Ms. Lemon says
Thank you for stopping by Jane. Although I have made biscuits I had never made drop biscuits so it was different for me. I think the longer you slow-simmer the gravy the more the flavor develops. I hope you will try it and let me know your thoughts.
Katerina says
These pork chops look absolutely mouthwatering! I am going to check them!
Ms. Lemon says
Let me know if you make them. Season to your taste.

How fun! On my way to check out the guest post now . . .
Ms. Lemon says
John, If you make these let me know. I would love some feedback from you.

Great job Madonna, your dish looks delicious. My mother used to make stewed tomatoes and put pieces of torn bread in hers. I’m sure it was just a way of stretching a meal.
Ms. Lemon says
Thanks Karen. My Mother-in-law used torn bread, but we always just used the trinity and tomatoes and cooked them until all the flavors came together. Thanks for stopping by. I always love to see what is happening at your house – also diverse and always yummy.
Penny says
Great job Madonna, I enjoyed your guest post. My friend in Virginia makes tomato gravy and my husband loves it on biscuits. Now I will have to make your version because he like a bit of heat.
Ms. Lemon says
Thanks Penney. I had never made drop biscuits, only the rolled out type, and we like garlic and jalapeño, but not as much as RR, so I will caution all on that. To me they can be a make or break ingredient. Since you are such an experienced cook I guess I don’t need to caution you, but for the less experienced I feel I need to run up a flag. Let me know your thoughts if you do decide to make it.
Adri says
What fun – a guest post! I’ll go over and take a look!
Ms. Lemon says
Adri, thanks for stopping by. I am thrilled to be able to guest post at Susan’s. She has such a wonderful site from tablescaping to wonderful things she has found and wants to share. She does the research for us.
Kitty says
Oh what fun, Madonna, to guest post at BNOTP! I’ll have to go check it out.
Ms. Lemon says
Thanks Kitty. Susan always has something good going on at her porch. I was thrilled to be invited.
Jules says
Hi Madonna,
I made this recipe a couple of days ago. It is so good! I’ll admit that I omitted the jalapeno because I don’t like them but the gravy was still slurpin’ good!
Ms. Lemon says
I am so happy Jules. While you cannot do so while baking, you are in charge when you are cooking and I say put in or leave out anything you don’t love. I kind of have a love/hate relationship with jalapeños. It difficult to get the right amount of heat without blowing your tastebuds out. Thanks for letting me know, you just don’t know how it thrills me.
