-Giggles- That's my literal job this thanksgiving. I have to make the gravy because my boyfriend's Nana doesn't know how to make gravy. She always buys it in a jar, so I'm gonna show her how to make it.

My great grandma taught me how to make it from scratch when I was little. Since my boyfriend's mom found that out, now that I've moved in with him, everything that involves gravy, I am to make that gravy. I don't mind, it's pretty quick for me to do now :D

my gravy is usually lumpy because i am impatient XD tastes good tho'

Mine comes out lumpy sometimes, but it usually smooths itself out as I cook it. My boyfriend never minds lumpy gravy though so I don't care if it's a little bit lumpy..


Edit: Lol talking about gravy I just got the "Great Gravy Boat"

I've never put egg bits in it. Hm. No, I usually just make plain country gravy, though I put chicken or sausage or beef or whatever in it if that's what I'm making.

no eggs here XD the beef and butter and veg are enough flavor XD

I haven't even got a clue what else we're having besides gravy for thanksgiving XD this is my first year having it at Nana's, and also my boyfriend's first year. He usually went to his other grandma's house for dinner.

This year we are having it with my mom and grandma and grandpap. Mom had moved back to Pennsylvania three years ago, and we just moved back up ourselves.
The past couple years we had had it with my mother-in-law and his Nana's houses.
So it will be a change for us too. We have a list already of what we wanna make.
I am gonna make so much Baked Mac and Cheese. That is always my favorite thing! SO ADDICTINGLY GOOD!

This is gonna be me, boyfriend, boyfriend's mom, at boyfriend's mom's mom's house.. Boyfriend's aunt MAY be there, and some of her kids MAY be there, depending on their schedules at work and whether aunt's chemo is kicking her butt too hard, but the core four are the only guarantee. Boyfriend's dad will be going to his mom's house, the grandma that everyone normally goes to. I think next year we will go there with dad, and mom will go to her mom's by herself.

All this talk of fancy gravies... sounds tasty.

I don't know how to make gravy...although I'm sure other people in my family do.

I'm making the mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie this year :D

Toho... Gravy is so simple. You take all the juices left in the meat pan, add some water, add some flour or cornstarch for thickener if its too runny, add more water if its too thick. Stir it all up till its the right consistency- should pour smoothly. Nobody likes lumpy gravy.

...well, nobody in my family, anyways.

no wonder i don't like gravy... xD

dragoness!!

we're having mac & cheese for our Turkey Day dinner! =)

(and chocolate chip cookies for dessert.)

Hey look! I look like Im out of a dr seuss book!

i just read said book last night.

Lol

its one of the girls favorite bed time stories. xD

I realize I am a bit late to the gravy talk but --- I love making gravy. I like to bake the turkey so I can make the gravy ^_^ I don't make stuffing because that would take away from the gravy D:<

my thanksgiving is going to be my daughters and I. My mother in law, and one of my brother in laws. no one else will be there.

we'll be me, hubby (B), our two daughters (J & M), a family friend (F, my daughters call her 'Aunt') and her mom (Aunt I, i call her 'Aunt'!)

No day is complete without your very own Breadly Weapon!

Owo how does that Breadly weapon page work? Can you get to it normally?

http://trisphee.com/item/view/Jackie%20Flapper and what does that %20 mean :o?

I just made an Announcement about it. :D

you can type [item]Jackie Flapper[/item] to get Jackie Flapper

And to answer the question, %20 is how a space is encoded into a URL. :)

Ohh, I've always wondered why google search things had percent things all the time!
This item thing is really cool :o

What if it didn't exist

Edit: Oh hey, they all work! Well, to make links.

The forums don't try to validate what you're asking for, it just makes a link, and the destination page (the item viewer) figures out what you actually want.

LOL I'm actually not a fan of sweet. Sour, salty, bitter... oh yeah. XD Though a good pumpkin pie with much cinnamon and ginger and NO whipped cream I also love.

Yams are a totally different species. Many varieties of sweet potato ARE sweet (like the purple ones). And actually, sweet potatoes were the first plant called potato. What is now the common potato is actually a late comer to the name. And sweet potatoes also come in dry white varieties that make fluffy mashed potatoes to shame the best common potatoes. And this old loser can eat those without poisoning herself.

*ends nerd rant*

lol, well done on picking out an item name I forgot about for validating.

It's the weirdest named item I've seen in the shop, and my favorite item <3

I'lkl eat just about anything at least once honestly.

As would I. :D

So, how is everyone doing today? I, for one, could go to sleep right now. I'm not going to, but I could.

i know this because the code broke on Sapherna the other day. so whenever you typed anything all the messages got turned into20%things20%that20%looked20%like20%this. it was hilarious as everyone panicked and we all started typing.like.this or other unique ways to get past it like underscores.
