I know we’re not supposed to do this (use a picture from the web) but since I don’t have a personal picture of Deb I just want to remark that I hope she didn’t get stuck in any LONG lines at the airport or boarding the cruise ship. I’m sure she made it just fine and is enjoying the sun and fun! maryt More About: Photo , Hunters

2007-11-11 19:54:00 The Blog eat blog has the word GRAVY as this weeks topic, ick. I hate homemade gravy, I would rather have the kind from the can or made from the dry mix. Too many people do not know how to make gravy properly, my husband being one of them. Many of the problems come from the thicking agent! My husband, like many others, thinks just throwing a glob of corn starch in the hot liquid, will thicken it up, WRONG! Here is the correct way to make homemade gravy, please, PLEASE take note! Making gravy the right way- click here! If for some unforseen reason, you cant follow directions on how to make gravy, or you are just plain lazy, I suggest this! Its easy, it takes 5 minutes, and all the ingredients are already there. Don’t ruin the meal by trying to make gravy, when you cant even seperate the fat from the meat juice! Happy cooking!
