Agnes by Tony Cochran for March 04, 2022

awwwwww that’s why I can’t find pineapple in that can marked “tomato Sauce” !!! Damn! I need cooking lessons……. AGAIN

Is it a pop top can, or is this going to get complicated?

Grannie’s mom also taught sarcasm well.

hard as it is to believe, canned gravy is actually a thing…

i find it hard to wrap my brain around the idea of “best” canned gravy…

My sister got a family reputation for making lumpy gravy because she never whisked in the flour properly, now she just says she put in a can of mushroom soup.

And now the knowledge is passed down to another generation. At least, canned gravy is mostly edible, unlike the concoctions Agnes makes up.

I wonder what Trout knows a lot about.

Fry flour in leftover sausage or bacon grease. Add milk and lots of stirring. After it thickens, add chunked-up sausage or bacon as desired. Canned gravy can’t touch it.

Cordon Blue-Label…

Doubt if they sold canned gravy in her mother’s time…

Another tradition lovingly passed down.

“I don’t like gravy.” The Chicken Run movie! :)

Funniest dialog ever on the subject of gravy, performed by two great actors in a great movie:

Oscar: Don’t you have any gravy?

Felix: Where the hell am I gonna get gravy at eight o’clock?

Oscar: I dunno, I thought it comes when you cook the meat.

Felix [under his breath]: Comes when you cook the meat.

[stares at him for a moment]

Felix: You don’t know what you’re talking about, Oscar. You just don’t know, because you have to MAKE gravy, it doesn’t come!

— Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon as Oscar and Felix in The Odd Couple (1968)

I love any strip with Grandma! She’s quite a gal.

I have never eaten canned gravy. I wonder what it tastes like.

This reminds me of a friend from Knights of Columbus who had bought a George Foreman grill. He said one of his friends at work asked if it included the automatic gravy maker.
