That's ok Aylee...I just remembered one of my cooking bloopers........I was going to make gravy for the Thanksgiving turkey.....I got some of the juice from the pan, put it in one of those neat tupperware shakers, added the corn starch, put the top on it, and started shaking...after about 5 shakes, the lid blew off cuz the heat from the juice didn't have anywhere to expand to......I had half shaken gravy all over me, the walls, the stove top....the floor.....at least the dog took care of that mess.....so now, I use a can of cold chicken broth and corn starch and mix that into the drippings...works just fine!
My dad was the cook in the family, but that's cuz he got home first.....my mom did the cooking on weekends, and we always had a big Sunday meal. My mom was the canning maven....every fall she'd do up tomatoes and tomato sauce....YUMMMY!!!!, all the local fruits, jams, dilly beans, sweet, bread and butter and dill pickles....OMG..that really stunk the house up when she left them in the crocks to pickle [:'(], and she'd freeze corn, apples, heck, she'd lay in a whole winter's worth of food! When I went off to college, I'd do my grocery shopping in the basement......Her tomato sauce was better than anything on the market then or today.....my roomies loved it!
And holly, gimme a bowl of that chili......if I can eat my dad's, yours is a cake walk!!!!! His will strip the enamel off the inside of the pot!!!! [:D]
