Hillbilly Ambrosia, Part the II

Yessirree Bob -- biscuits and gravy, like mamaw used to make. Yes, that is both spicy pork breakfast snausage, and some of the Honeybaked Ham that Sallyh sent me for Thanksgiving (man, it takes a while, even for a fatass, to eat 3.5 lbs. of ham!). This was truly fine, fine gravy... not to brag, but... ;) See, I went to Aldi, braving the 30 mph wind gusts on the scooter, to get flour and milk. They only had milk by the gallon, and I just couldn't see my way clear of it -- see, I'm lactose intolerant, but I like milk, and if I had a whole gallon, I'd be tempted to drink it, which wouldn't be pretty. So, I skipped the milk, and went to Sonic, nextdoor, for a half-pint. Gal workin' the window didn't know the difference between a pint and a half-pint, poor thang. It turns out that's exactly how much I need to make enough for one B&G meal.

Well that gravy does look improved somewhat. And I agree with "left rev." you need more greens.

I agree with the stuff about greens. Plop some of that ham in with your greens, add an onion and some garlic, and yumm... I had fried green tomato the other night, myself! :)

I wonder if it's possible to make biscuit gravy with soy milk? Might taste a little different to what you're used to, but it wouldn't give you the lactose problem.

You can use about any liquid to make gravy. Make a rue with the flour & pan drippings, then slowly stir in water, or milk, or soy milk, etc. stir continuously until the rue emulsifies. Add more liquid (small amount) stir until it is the consistency you desire, if you add too much, just cook it down a little.
