I had the turkeys baked, the dressing made, and the pies made, so all I really had to do this morning was make gravy for today's dinner at my sister’s house then we could pack up and head up there.
Gosh, I struggled with that gravy. I made one batch without much trouble, but it didn’t yield very much so I started another.
The second batch was so lumpy! I stirred and whisked and scraped ad sweated over the stove. Despite my best efforts, the lumps refused to dissolve.
I think Mom would have laughed if she could have seen me trying to beat out those lumps.
After what seemed like hours, I gave up and poured the gravy through a strainer.
It tasted decent, most of it got eaten, and no one complained.
I’m still scratching my head though; why does turkey gravy cause me such problems while my breakfast gravy is never lumpy?!
Another of life’s great mysteries,
Anyway, it turned out to be a lovely day, and we spent a lot of it outside.
This picture of dad with some of his grandkids and great grandkids was a challenge to take.
Well, it wasn’t hard to take, but it was hard to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time!
Bunch ‘a turkeys!
I love them tho.
