Tonight we decided to have a bbq with steak, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, salad and corn on the cob. I got my portion of the meal ready and had it warming on the stove. I had everything done except for thickening the gravy.
Dick told me I had about five minutes left before the steaks were ready so I got the gravy thickened and reached up into the cupboard and got the Kitchen Bouquet to make my brown gravy rich in color. I replaced the cap and was putting it on the shelf…OH CRUD…WHAT HAVE I DONE…WHAT DID I PUT IN MY GRAVY….there sat the brown bottle of Kitchen Bouquet and I am holding a brown bottle of vanilla. YES VANILLA!!! I hurry and take the gravy pan to the sink and try to get as much vanilla out as I possibly can, return to the sink and this time put the correct stuff in the gravy.
I started to laugh and was nearly doubled over when Dick came in. I was laughing so hard he could not tell if I was crying or what was going on. I tried to tell him, but the laughter was so strong and I could not even catch my breath long enough to tell him. I finally got calm enough to let him in on the “joke” and then he started laughing.
We sat down to a very lovely meal and ate our Vanilla Gravy on our mashed potatoes and just giggled through our meal.
If anyone is needing the recipe, I would be more than happy to send it to you.
