Thanks, Vicki. I just tried my hand with Marilyn P.'S milk directions and your description for making gravy, and it turned out really well. I'm thrilled. I used the fat I got from making chicken in the crock pot--I saved three cups worth, so have lots to practice with,--and added salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a wee bit of sugar because I overpeppered the mix just a bit.
I've added your instructions to my cooking journal and will use it in future for other cooking adventures.
