Re: Soul food



Mika - it is my understanding that people (other than your dad *G*) call gravy made with coffee "red-eye gravy" there may be other subtle differences, but I don't know them at the moment :)

My dad uses tea to make gravy only he takes it a step further and uses coffee too. He calls it John Glenn Gravy because it's out of this world. In other words it delicious. Just use the juice or dripping from whatever beef you have cooked, add equal amounts of tea and coffee then add a cornstarch/water mixture to thicken. It really is good. I have also added a beef bouillon cube for added flavor.

Yum, Yum you bring back childhood memories. Mom would make this amazing
gravy with onions (she would sometimes use tea when there was leftover as
opposed to water) that we would put on a hamburger patty, soaking the gravy
on white bread, was it good! When I go over for dinner, I'll often ask her
to make it for me :o).

Choc, coffee, sausage gravy with anything :-), and a thing called hot
hamburger from my home town... consists of slice of bread, topped with

thin

burger, topped with french fries and smothered in a brown gravy :-D
