While I was shopping today a lady complained about the price of a package of chicken gravy. She asked me what I thought, and I agreed that was a lot to pay for it, but then went on to say I don't buy it. Bullion, water and corn starch does just fine. She had never heard of making gravy that way. I guess I am just strange to do it from "scratch" and not relying on packaged food.
Today I am pickling beets, so I don't have to buy them, and canning beans. Old fashion ways of life, but they save me in so many different ways.
