Secrets to Good Gravy?

Posted by hatlady, November 16, 2007 at 12:54 PM

I'm coming out of the closet, er, pantry, with this one. Am still having trouble making a really good gravy, and would like to surprise everyone this Thanksgiving. Any tips?

What one food are you ashamed to admit you like?

Posted by hatlady, March 8, 2007 at 5:51 PM

I was very judgemental about what people ordered to drink when I was a bartender; but secretly craved frozen strawberry daiquiries, which were a pain to make. A Tanqueray drinker, I never, ever, ordered a daiquiri from a bartender I knew.

You're too much @ Perky! Whore D'Uvres, a cousin of Tess of the D'ubervilles, no doubt.

What's your favorite thing in a hot dog bun?

Not much boring about a grilled dog laid steaming hot onto a fresh bun and loaded with mustard, catsup and relish. Been a long time since I've had one like that, or even a good old chile dog, for that matter, with chopped onions and grated cheddar cheese. Heartburn city, but worth it!

Have you influenced your friends and family?

Definitely -- and my family appreciates every forkful. Sharing meals also is the foundation for my social life -- such as it is.

What prepared food is "as good as it gets"?

Crazy corn, the original one. Salted sunflower seeds. Then move away from the salt affair with a pint of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food.

Random Personal Facts

Thanks, Kerosena -- and know you're not alone in the what-did-I-walk-into-this-room-for? phenomenon. Some of my co-workers comment from time to time that they forget to eat -- I've never had that problem!

BBQ Sauce..........

My 15-year-marriage to a West Texas native paid off in picking up barbecue techniques. In following his lead, I learned to "doctor up" a generic bottled sauce with garlic and onion sauteed in butter. Have leftover apricot preserves? Toss them in, along with some tasty mustard, vinegar and brown sugar. Add Louisiana hot sauce and black pepper to taste. Sear your meat on the grill, then slow-cook, basting frequently, so the sauce builds up and blends with the smoky char from the grill. Serve with grilled corn on the cob, a macaroni or potato salad and chilled beer.

OK, I've been fighting it for days, but I simply have to get it out of my system - as a tribute to Aunt Sandy, I have to name a couple of her dear friends:

Mars Capone, Vinnie Garette, her ex, Presso, and the best friend of them all - Mr. Sal Monella.

@minstrel - There's something Bonnie & Clyde or Godfather about your excellent names! I see them with machine guns and bowls of spaghetti. ;)
