What are You cooking?

[somethingelseishere]

As for the gravy itself, I'm not gonna push flour around in some grease for 10 minutes to get a certain color. I always mix the flour and water in a bowl with a whisk, then pour it into the grease. It will simmer long enough to cook on its own.

I hear ya but ooooh how I do love to make a roux!! It's just one of those things, at least for
me, that once I learned how to do it - I want to always do it whenever it's called for.

I'm kinda perverse in that way - taking great pleasure in scenic routes. : )
