Can you make gravy?

[sommap]

The first time I tried to make gravy was a disaster.  I had made chicken and mashed potatoes for dinner, as a newly wed.  I made gravy to go with the potatoes.  It tasted like library paste, was white, and just as thick.

I later improved and now I m the one they ask to make the gravy with Thanksgiving turkey, etc.

I don't make it often but I know how to make it.  My father made his with instant coffee and it was good.

yes i can make all kinds and i do all the cooking aroundhere and that includes thanksgiving dinner for25 to 30 people

I can make it, but I rarely do.  

My mom always made it from the drippings leftover from frying the chicken.

It was good!!

I don't fry chicken so I don't make the gravy.

I am a southern girl born and raised. It would be very unsouthern not to make my own gravy!

[remediagirl]

Yep. I can make gravy. If it gets lumpy I just strain it. It did take some practice...but I learned when I was a kid. My Mom is really good at it. And so is my mother in law.

I don't like gravy so I never saw a reason to make it usually someone else makes it if they want it at thanksgiving or another special time.

Yes, I can amek it from scratch, but I get lazy, so I buy the pack, but instead of water I use the drippings or the juice from the meat I cook, if turkey or roasted chicken I drain their juices and mix that with a pack of powdser gravy.

Yes :angel11:the secret to making sure it isnt lumpy is to use a fork when the whisk doesn't seem to be working. The other thing I do is use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken, it makes fewer lumps.

Wasn't great at making gravy, now I think it is terrific, especially my turkey gravy at Thanksgiving

[webe4angels]

Yes I can make gravy... but we do not have it very often... Mainly on holidays.

I havent made gravy but my Mom made THE BEST

[poppy1]

I can make any type of gravy!  And on lazy days I just open a can of cream of something to do the job....

[acurtsinger2]

i can make it pretty good now,  but the first few times i tried was a nasty mess.  too thick, too thin, no flavor   it takes practice

The kind that comes in the powdered pack is pretty good and easy to make.
