Big changes to our weekend plans. Today we're still going to the inlaws but my dh is working Saturday and Sunday and I got an Email from one of my favorite small businesses for their black Friday sale so we may put at home turkey day off until Saturday which would be easier on me. So much for not going out on BF

Any idea how I can rethicken my gravy? I used tapioca and it thickened. Then I put it in the blender with sauteed mushrooms. Picky eaters cannot see mushrooms. Anyway it became runny again. Tastes good though. Any clue?

My mother used to take a few tablespoons of flour and put in a jar with about 1/2 cup of water. Put on lid and shake it so that the flour dissolves. Then while the gravy is hot in the pan, slowly pour the flour mixture into the gravy in pan, stirring all the while. It will cook up thicker--worked every time.

Those are some really nice photos--love the Christmas tree surrounded by water and the Christmas bulbs floating around. The castle picture is beautiful, too. And the dinosaur is funny!

Is that an ornament you bought in the first picture? Cute! The food looks delicious. The dessert looks too pretty to eat. What was it?

Easy reheat it and add a slurry(tapioca, xanthan, arrowroot) simmer until thickened Some of the gf starches can be a bit temperamental not unlike ferrets

Have everything but arrowroot. Can I sub cornstarch or no? Or just use the xantham and tapioca?

My favorite Charlie Brown episode as a kid was the Thanksgiving one. I thought it was cool to have toast and popcorn for dinner. How times have changed.
