Gravy boats

My mother has a philosophy about gravy: the more the better.  I can't agree with her more.  She always makes a large pot full of gravy for Thanksgiving and yesterday was no different.  For eleven people, including a squirmy four year who would have rather been playing "construction guy" in the basement, there were four gravy boats on the table.  My mother told us all that in a perfect world, there would be one gravy boat for every pair of people.  She said that as a child, she hated that people always had to get up and down for gravy refills.

I hope you all had a lovely holiday.  I might still be full.

I completely agree with your mom's philosophy of gravy boats. First of all, the actual gravy boats are cool. I've got three different ones I use on my table when I have a crowd over for dinner. Secondly, what doesn't taste better when covered in gravy? lol. Gravy is definitely falls into the "comfort food" category.

Your mother is a genius.
