croup, snot, coughing, soar throats. it seems to be viral b/c we took chuckles to the doc 2 weeks ago with an ear infection. He was on antibiotics for 10 days and this is still going on.
Cold medicine to treat the symptoms. Other than that, not a whole lot you can do when it's viral.

Oh, and chicken soup. Wink

Hi Jenni! Wave

Quote from jenni. :
You take a little bit of the drippings, add some flour, a little at a time until it's almost like paste, and whisk the whole time. Then you add some milk, whisking, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until it's the thickness you want.
Yep, this!

What are drippings?
The fat that melts off the meat.

I've tried using the drippings + flour when I make chicken fried steak/chicken and it tastes burnt


I use the envelopes
if it tastes burnt you can take a couple tablespoons of the fat and make the gravy in another pan. another pan to clean, but at least it'll be harder to burn. .

Don't fall for that nonsense, I can say things to convince everybody I'm white:

See----> Black folks can't swim.

I was at the country clubs for a quick round of golf & that black caddie stole my wallet.

Oh honey, did you wash my sheets? I want a clean outfit for the lynchin tonite.

The fact that you can spell for the most part, is enough to convince me you're white Wink

So gravy is really just grease and flour. That's kind of nasty when you think about it. I'm glad I don't really care for it that much.

No, it's mostly milk. You don't need much of the grease, just a few tablespoons, and you just add the flour so it'll thicken.

I'll use a few tablespoons of the drippings and flour, but several cups of milk.

That's not as bad, but I'm still glad I really don't care for it.

I never really ate it before I got married. Dh likes it so I buy the canned or pouch for him. I think I'm going to give up gravy. I will not eat the stuff his mom makes. It's chunky. What's up with chunky gravy Yuk? To me it looks like throw up.

Eeewww canned gravy? I didn't even know there was such a thing. Sick

Lumpy gravy usually occurs when the flour isn't mixed in properly.

Not a fan of sausage, eh?


Ref must be disappointed. Down




I heart sausage gravy. I wish I didn't. Not "healthy" by any means.

its pretty much thickened with it, but almost all sauces are thickened with a mix of fat and starch. butter+ flour is also very common
