This is a reprieve of a blog I posted last year at www.blameitonthemuse.com. I’m bringing it back by popular demand. It being good gravy season.
When it comes to Thanksgiving, I am thankful for gravy – and the generations of women who handed down the art of gravy making so that I could share it with you.

I learned how to make gravy from my mother’s two older sisters: Aunt Doss and Aunt Annie. Mom, who came from the same gene pool, could not make decent gravy to save her soul, but, ironically, Mom is the one who taught Aunt Doss and Aunt Annie how to make gravy. She accomplished this feat even though she had never made gravy in her life.
How, you ask?
