-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.

I make it from the packet mixes.

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'

I like most gravy.
Not the sausage gravy though.

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"

Does your kind have hard boiled egg bits in it? My husband's Nana makes hers with egg.

It knew you needed it! ^_^

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

My mom is gonna do the gravy this year for our Thanksgiving dinner.
I gonna see if she can put eggs in it. I like hardboiled eggs.
It all goes lovely over mashed potatoes and turkey.

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.
