Actually, hamburger gravy has many types (most fairly healthy) and use little or none of the actual fat from the cooked ground beef. Standard gravy rule of thumb: 2TB fat base (can be any fat but not oil) 4-5TB flour Melt fat and slowly incorporate flour to a paste 2-3c broth (can be any type including bullion but some bullions are too salty) Common fats used (some area dependent): Beef (may be ground fat 'drippings') Chicken (other poultry too like duck or goose) Pork (sausage, bacon, etc.) Common additions: Worstershire sauce Kitchen Bouquet Salt and Pepper Ketchup Port Basics are to make a slow paste of the fat and flour then slowly add liquid and seasonings of choice then wisk it until thickened. Takes about 5 minutes. In traditional southern or early American style, the fat was anything you had. Navy style, things got healthier but used to be no fat that was made from cooking and could be used, was used. Our infamous 'chipped beef and gravy' comes from that era. Started with salt beef or salt pork or dried beef for the Navy. |

I've made gravy from hanburger fat before. It was actually pretty good. |

It seems you make very nice candy. You could bring in a little income doing so. Being the King of Inaction is pretty much the same thing as being lazy when you get right down to it. Jill |

| Nellie <julie.nils@gmail.com>: May 21 12:31PM -0700 jmcquown I was talking (briefly) on the phone with a friend in my neighborhood. He was just calling to ask how I'm doing. He's 67 and very concerned about Covid-19. Rather than go to the grocery store he used Instacart to place a grocery order with Publix for delivery. (This is the friend who is a vegetarian but doesn't push it as an agenda. He also doesn't cook.) Was he ever disappointed! He got a 5 lb. bag of oranges and said half of the oranges in the bag were rotten. He said the lettuce and other fresh produce he ordered appeared to be the dregs... stuff the store would have wound up discarding and writing off. This sort of thing is the main reason I'm not interested in having some random grocery store employee do my shopping for me. Maybe some of you have used Instacart. If so, I hope you had a much better experience with it. :) Jill ——— Yep, use it all the time with great success, my daughter too. Instacart is not the store's employee. They are shopping the store of your choice for you. We've used it for 2 of our favorites now and considering Target today. Each time, my shopper communicated with me while she shopped. If something I wanted was not available, she/ he either aske me what I would take instead or gave me options according to what was in front of her/him Tough luck for him, I hope he finds something better he can use but as for me, I'll continue on with Instacart Nellie |
