Saturday morning at Capital Oaks is special. That's when Joyce mixes her culinary skills and love to produce sausage gravy and biscuits that take me back to 17 years in the Kentucky hills. Until a few years ago I believed my Mama was the only cook who could steal my heart. But then came Capital Oaks and Joyce and I'm home again.
