My first time making gravy when I was in college--not good. I was visiting my parents and brought a friend home from school. I told mom I would make dinner for everyone. So when I started on the gravy, as I was stirring in the flour, nothing happened. It wasn't getting thick or anything. So I thought, hmmm, maybe I'll keep adding more flour. BIG MISTAKE lol!!! Finally after putting a lot of flour in and letting it simmer and cook, I ended up with, well, basically mud. It was awful, it was so thick that I couldn't even scoop it out of the pan and it wouldn't leave the spoon. Needless to say, I haven't made that mistake again.
