After going through a financial downfall, I needed some help from friends getting back on my feet. Since they had a love for biscuits and gravy, I kind of made my own take on it with hash browns instead. In a matter of moments, the only thing left I had was a clean dish and a lot of happy smiles. Felt good to pay it forward.
