Lazy cooking
Aug. 1st, 2010 03:07 pmBaked some frozen chicken patties, made some white gravy with lots of pepper, and put them both on a whole wheat sandwich bun for lunch. >.> Didn't take much effort, but was tasty. And fattening!
White gravy is pretty simple. Get a couple tablespoons of butter, melt in pan. Stir in a couple of tablespoons of flour and cook until thoroughly mixed and a little golden. Slowly stir in milk until you have a little more than the amount of gravy you want to finish with, stirring constantly as it's added to prevent lumps from forming. Flavor as desired, stir mixture just below boiling until it's as thick as you want it.
Stick to your ribs cooking.
Incidentally, this means I had a Southern-fried chicken sandwich. When something is chicken-fried, this means that it has been breaded and fried in the same way fried chicken is prepared. Typically steak will be chicken-fried. When it's Southern-fried, not only has it been chicken-fried, but it is served with white gravy on top!
