1. I can cook damn near anything, and do it pretty well, if I do say so myself. Except gravy.

Hello, jarred Heinz. Everything else is made from scratch.

3. This is outstanding you can feel it go right to your heart.

Really easy. Btw cooking tip make sure you turn the oven back on after you
take the bird out to check it.

6. Good tip! Can somebody explain to me why they take the turkey out of the oven

and put it on the table in A Christmas Story when it still has an hour to cook? Keep it in the damn oven, it ain’t gunna cook on the table!

8. Back in those days

for some reason the cooks used to take the turkey out of the oven like 10 times to check and see if it needed more liquid added to the bottom,. My Grandma did that,too.

9. And leave it on the table and walk away? My mom would pull the turkey out to baste it,

but it went right back in the oven. I understand it’s necessary for the Bumpus’s dogs to get to it, so they could go to the Chinese restaurant, but it makes no sense.

10. Yeah that is a bit of a stretch!

But it was necessary for the plot!

5. California roasted Steve Garvey

last time he ran for election to the Senate.

Maybe he has a relative "Pan"... possibly named after a fictional Greek god?



quite the handsome devil... now if he could only throw a split finger ( hoof? ) fastball...

11. NOooooo!!!!

cream gravy is for fried meats, roasted gets broth/drippings based gravy.

Enjoy anyway!

12. I hated my grandmothers' giblet gravies growing up.

The southern way is to add hopped up hard boiled eggs! Yucky, yucky, yuchy!

For me, I take the innards and pieces (because I cut my turkey up to cook it and cut out the back bone and wing tips), boil up a good stock, let the pieces cool, put the meat in the stock. I use that cooled stock as the liquid component to dry packages of turkey gravy. It's delicious, easy peasy and tastes homemade.

13. My mother used to use flour and 1 cube of dried chicken stock.

Yummy.
