Good Gravy

On November 29, I purchased powdered gravy from the Save-a-Lot on Brookpark Road in Cleveland just as I said I would in my last post.  However, instead of the turkey or chicken gravy that I was planning to buy, I bought brown gravy because they were out of the aforementioned gravies since it was two days after Thanksgiving.  I chose Save-a-Lot because I knew that Aldi does not carry powdered chicken or turkey gravy (at least at the Aldis that I patronize)!  Save-a-Lot was also cheaper than Marc's.

The gravy turned out to be delicious.  It enhanced the mashed potatoes that came home from Thanksgiving Dinner!  The leftover gravy was used on December 4 with mashed potatoes that came from a box purchased at Aldi weeks earlier.  Needless to say that I was the sole judge for the gravy because my brother Bob decided the gravy wasn't necessary.

There are no plans to buy any powdered gravy in the near future.  I bought three boxes of Hungry Jack Au Gratin Potatoes from Dollar Tree in Rocky River this afternoon.  They will be made for consumption on Christmas Day.  The third box may be used in the future, but it could become part of Christmas Day if the first two boxes are deemed to be inadequate for our family gathering.

The next report will reveal how successful our potatoes turned out!!
