Personal Notes:
This is from Ina Gravy. Mom use to tell a story that when she was in hospital having me,
Dad asked her how to make Gravy. The story goes that he used 2 cups of flour not 2 T. You can imagine the results. Perhaps that is why I have always been a bit insecure in the Gravy department. This recipe is pretty fool proof and good to make ahead adding the drippings at the last minute.
