    Putting those two together sounds very uncomfortable.

    Will start gearing up the mashed potatoes after Thanksgiving, will start shipping the first full week in December. Anyone who wants some should get their orders in early. Look forward to your gravy as always, a perfect combination.
    I've never used cornstarch - afraid to switch tactics now.

    Straight up white flour?

    Yes. It's what my mother did - so I copied. I've been in charge of gravy for about 30 years. No matter how many times my BiL asks, I don't make a roux first. Flour goes right into the drippings.

    I baked pork roasts in chicken broth last night. Then a bit of flour, all good. Meant to shake a touch of corn starch in, and, well — I had a paste.

    Broth smoothed it out a bit, but it was pretty poor consistently-wise. Probably should have whisked 9t but did not want to scratch the pan.

    My gravy game needs work. Better at a demi-glacé.

    That is an old thread.
    I’m shocked (shocked I say!) that I never posted on that thread. There’s a lot of good wine out there.

    Gravy. I make it every year because no one else will even attempt it. And . . . it's hit or miss. Sometimes we like it and sometimes we don't. It's one of our Thanksgiving traditions at this point - will Mom's gravy be any good? If it isn't, everybody just puts extra butter on their mashed potatoes.

    Yes, what?! Come over here and let me show you my ancient thick Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus.

    Really, come over here. No charge.

    Shut the heck up and get busy on those dishes!



    May I refer you to Julia Child's turkey broth recipe and gravy studies?

    No one, anywhere on this wonderful Planet Earth, can top my gravy or pie crust or gumbo.

    You might say I'm a polymath. I couldn't possibly disagree with you.

    Many thanks - I will check out what Ms. Child has to say about gravy.

    In order to put this frustrated bad mood to good use, I have closed my office door and decided to clean the mother-loving heck out of it.

    Farewell old snippets of once vital information that I instantly forgot about.

    Comrades have been notified of the barbed under the welcome mat covering the hole in the floor.

    I started filling up my big trash bin this morning. 12 pairs of pants to go to Goodwill on Friday. Still a long long way to go.

    Coming home from the movies last night, I saw an armadillo in our driveway. That’s a first.
