Captain Queeg didn't want to work today -- didn't want to work yesterday, or last Friday, either -- so we took a forced day off. Or, as Queeg put it, "hey peeps, take some time off, relax." Queeg, apparently,does not realize that if we don't work, we don't get paid.
In any event, I took advantage of the lack of gainful employment for the day and turned it into good food porn for Cpl. Wolves and Marrying Into Wolves. I fixed sausage gravy and biscuits, of course. It all starts with a pound of sausage. The more sausage costs, the lower the fat content. The lower the fat content, the less you have to drain the sausage after cooking. Gwaltney is in the middle. I had to drain it a little.
Anyway, bust up that sausage and brown it.
Once the sausage is browned, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of flour over the browned meat.
Stir the flour in, then add about a cup of milk. Remember that you're making gravy, not library paste, so add more milk to keep the gravy from getting too thick. Because it will. The longer you cook, the thicker it gets. You can salt and pepper to taste, but you shouldn't have to add much seasoning as sausage tends to be heavily seasoned.
You also need to make some biscuits. You can make them from scratch, but unless your grandmother is from Alabama and taught you how it is better to take some frozen commercial biscuits, like Pillsbury. They work just fine.
Pour some of the sausage gravy over those biscuits, and enjoy.
Bon appetit.
