  1. Just eat Gravy.
    Lazlo espied some Jimmy Dean defrosting in yon refrigerator
    Mrs. Lazlo intends to make some biscuits and gravy on Sunday Morning.
    I see a nap 1/2 hour later

  2. @Lazlo – You and your Mrs. have the right idea!

    All gravy is to be cherished, but there are two that are the senior god and goddess of the gravy pantheon. Mrs. Lazlo is fixin’ to make one of them: sausage gravy.

    The other is chicken gravy, made right after making a big batch of fried chicken as the biscuits bake. Hooooo-eee!

  3. Incidentally and totally off topic….just saw Midway.
    Pretty damned good, even if the dope, Woody Harrelson plays Nimitz. He didn’t screw it up.

    The John Ford part was a head scratcher, but I looked it up later and it is based on fact.

    I really enjoyed it. Ive got some tech quibbles but it’s worth seeing.

  4. Gravy is just another name for a pan sauce, right?….I make a great one for chicken marsala. Still working on the steak au poivre pan sauce…Hollandaise?…
    I agree with Uncle Al that chickens make the best gravy and then turkeys….red eye gravy?….

  5. I once ate at a restaurant in Asheville NC where the staff wore T-shirts that were eblazoned with

    Worship the Gravy.

    And i did. It was memorable food.
    Really great.

    I should issue my own T-shirts.
    Don’t fuck around with gravy.

    It’s one of the 8 deadly sins, the first 7 having already been reserved for minor crimes like lying and murder.

    But messing with gravy? That is definitely number ocho.
    I mean c’mon.

  6. Anyone remember, a maybe older term, ‘velvet’ gravy.

    I can remember when my mom would serve the mashed potatoes and with the gravy server, spoon like serving tool, PUSHED down into the mash and left a reservoir of gravy within, like a piece of food magic, then of course a piece of butter inserted within…

    Thanks mom!

  7. Uncle Al, chicken gravy made after chicken fried in a cast iron skillet… man that brings back Lazlo’s hillbilly roots.
    I want a Nesbits now, strawberry if they have it.
    Black strap molasses for any biscuits left over

  8. Does anyone remember awhile back when they did weird stuff like this to jelly beans? How I know is because I have evil children who know I like jelly beans, gave me those nasty things without telling me what they were. I haven’t eaten a jelly bean since.

  9. @Old Racist White Woman – Are you referring to Jelly Bellies, Ronald Reagan’s favorite candy? They’re very much still around, and they make a ton of different flavors. The only “weird” one I can think of is Buttered Popcorn and even those are pretty good. (My favorite is Tangerine, and the only one I really dislike is Mango which tastes nothing at all like a mango.)

  10. Uncle Al, yes jelly beans by jelly bellies, but they came out with gross flavors like barf, skunk, dog food, etc. I don’t remember exactly all of them I was told after I ate one, but the one I ate almost made me barf. You’d think once my brats were grown they would have stopped pulling pranks, but nope anything to gross or scare mom is still funny.
    I almost dread Christmas every year because I never know what the heck I’m going to smell or have jump out at me when I open a present.

    I can’t look at a jelly bean now without tasting it again.

  11. @willysgoatgruff.
    My southern granny made red eye gravy in cast iron skillet with drippings from attic-aged country ham and strong black coffee. Her chicken gravy, also cast iron and she tossed in a few kernels of corn (I guess as a thickener and a kiss of sweetness).

    Personally I’m a segregationist as pertains to food.
