This was really good, Rick!

I found a few of my mistakes there.

Rick, I found a few of my mistakes also.

My biggest mistake was the first time I ever tried to make breakfast gravy. I was about 12 years old and it kept getting bigger and bigger ..like that old horror movie The Blob. It was terrible. I poked it with a fork and it burped out air lol. Thank goodness my little sis was the only one there to witness it.
