The gravy

So, I had a dream about "the gravy" last night. See, on Thanksgiving, Nick was so excited to make extra gravy the way Tyler's Ultimate had done... so he had me buy extra turkey pieces and spices... and of course, as they were cooking we realized that the oven wasn't working right (it wasn't cooking the wings like we saw on tv...) so after endless trips to the store to get a new thermometer or whatever... we figured out that we needed to bump up the temperature and keep checking it periodically. Anyway, once the turkey was out, Nick started on his gravy... using some broth mixture that Tyler said. Well, it wasn't grandma's gravy! Even Nick thought it sucked and stepped aside so Grandma could fix it (she always does!). This one was beyond repair... so, we waited (and the food waited...), as she used the drippings from the turkey and made a fantastic gravy that my mouth is STILL craving!!! (I think the extra flavoring was because we got our turkey drunk before we cooked it, thanks to the recipe we saw on the Neeley's- the brine had so much bourbon, us lightweights were getting buzzed from the fumes!!)Man! I'm hungry!!
