5 most popular gravies !!!

 

The first time I made gravy I was 14, my brother in law and I desided we wanted gravy with lunch. I browned the flour and poured some water in it, Clint said no, add more water, so he almost filled the skillet up with water... We stirred, and stirred, and stirred for almonst an hour, and if it was still boiling today, it would still be watery.. Needless to say we ended up pouring it out.. LOL  I must say I am a good gravy maker today :)
