...thanks sweetie, it was an honor and a treat....Wow - where is everyone? (on vacation?) Well, I should not complain, since I was "missing in action" for a couple of weeks myself due to going way up North to visit Andy and then the recent King Kon 2014. (Scott - if you happen to see this, thanks a million once again for organizing this - you made it a great time for everyone!) GNTLGNT; and say hi to Tracy, too!
So it is back to reality for me. It is time to go get ready for my first day back to the normal world again i.e. work (gasp!) I hope I can remember how to type operative reports!
Have a great day everyone
it reminds me of someone trying to give a hug.
By gravy - do you mean that sausage gravy that is sort of a white colour? We saw some in a slow cooker in Wisconsin as part of the complimentary breakfast and I thought it was oatmeal at first.
Up North the only gravy I knew before that was a brown colour - no offense!
A person misses a LOT in a week! I haven't even had a chance to look and read about the Kon yet. 
Enjoy!
Most important, Lepplady prayers to you, your family and Pawpaw traveling to the heavenly home. ((((Lepplady and family))) No matter the death, it is heavy on everyone involved and touched by this subject.
Mod has stated truth, as for restoring old pieces of antique (furniture or other wise) may be big big expensive if you are wanting it done correctly and looks proper of the time. As for just wanting an awesome chair, take your time to restore it with care. May lose money value but the other value may go way up. When me and my lady were moving some of my stuff into her apartment, we found out the desk I have been painting on is actually a hundred and two years old. Was built in 1912, my mom bought said desk for a stealing price. There is a table cloth on the desk now so no more paint gets onto it.
I think my Grandma on my Dad's size (who was French from Quebec) probably made this type of sausage gravy you are describing. She was a whiz in the kitchen and it is sad that I never really got to know her. She died when I was only about five months old.Neesy - there's all kinds of gravies to love. In my house, we put the brown gravy on mashed potatoes or Salisbury steak. The white/gray color gravy is sausage gravy that many put on biscuits or other breakfast foods, but I can eat it with a spoon if I have to. You can make it with any kind of flavored fat - sausage, bacon. Just one more reason to love pork. I always have a jar of pork fat in the fridge.
Much love to all y'all. Back to work Monday.
Whoever made this meme is clearly in control of their coffee. Two cups to wake me up, a few more to sustain me. Drink up.
This reminds me of when Joan Rivers used to do those jokes about Elizabeth Taylor (just because she had gotten a bit plumpish)Monday again! :sigh: Good morning all!
Oatmeal?? LOL You crazy canooks!
What Holly said! It's only sausage gravy if you use sausage to make it. In a pinch, I have even made it with a bunch of butter!
So, in summary, there is white gravy for biscuits and such, brown gravy for mashed potatoes and salisbury steak, and don't forget turkey gravy which can vary in color but is much thinner than either of the others. This completes Gravy 101.
Now I want some gravy, dang it!
