Days Of Future Chats..

making the gravy for resting turkey........decided to do proper hef ramsay Christmas gravy since i went with his turkey recipe....that guy doesn't mess around....i had to improvise some but this will be a fetch better than the ol flour into pan grease method ive relied on in the past

only 3 minutes if anyone wants a wants a look......

i mean come on ya bastards...i look at your shitty videos so you look at mine...that's how it works here lol...

 

^^^ I've tried to watch your video, Rolling but its just black and won't even give me a twirling circle.

Besides I'm truly interested in making gravy any other way than to use flour with the grease and leavings left behind when cooking meat.

Of course I've heard of adding cream of (whatever) soup to the mixture for a richer gravy...but I'm sort of doubting that is what you are talking about.

OK before I clicked post I tried one more time...and from my end it is a solid black box.

 

One show I'm not all excited about is "Scorpion"...its the group of geniuses that solve crimes for the gov't (and whoever else can get in touch with them...but its mostly the gov't).

So since it doesn't thrill me, I'm expecting a flood of people telling what a great and wonderful show it is. lol

 

Thunderstorm... January 22.


Yeah! That always happens.

 

its reducing...turkey had lemon and onion inside and carrots and celery underneath cooking.....butter under skin method for turkey.....you take the stuff out from in the turkey and into the gravy pan it goes with celery and carrots...turkey was draped in bacon so chop that and in it goes...he ised some fancy apple cider..i used apple juice....he used tomatos to thicken....i left that out and added chicken stock...so does he...rosemary....cook.....mash....reduce and sieve

 

Truly I must give you big credit for cooking like that. My goodness!!! I'm not a shabby cook...but I never (never EVER) cook like that.

I am seriously impressed!

Too bad we don't have any emoticons but those faces. lol

 

What do you mean by "reducing"?

 

boiling off the extra liquid so it thickens up

 

I was waiting for Rolling to answer...but I do know what reducing is...it is when you let the liquid (with all the stuff Rolling described being in the turkey) keep simmering or lightly boiling until you feel it has gotten to the right consistency...it greatly enhances or intensifies the flavor of what you're reducing

 

oh lord...I should have just waited 2 more minutes and I'd have seen Rolling was answering his question.

sorry

 

and like a normal man he did it concisely with few words

 

you have no idea how bad i needed that gut laugh......too funny

 

turkey was average but the gravy is a winner......after you strain all the fixins out of the gravy you give all that to the dog....

its strange that i tried to give the dog the raw heart...i thought he would gobble it up but he wouldn't touch it

 

You should have added the heart and jiblets to your gravy when it was reducing, bet he would have eaten them then!

 

Just like my grandma used to make.
Delish

 

Its been to quiet.. something major is going to happen soon.

 

hearts and gizzard always get ground into the stuffing in my family

usually some is added (chicken hearts, sausage, neck meat,celery,potatoes) to make it a real meaty stuffing instead of gross bread stuffing that people eat

 

grow lamp bank they use on playing fields ..
