Great Gravy

At dinner the other night, we remarked how gravy makes everytthing tastes better.

We were trying to get our son to eat some brown rice that we served along with green beans, roast chicken and gravy.

It wasn’t the first time I had uttered the thought.

Gravy really does makes everything tastes better, even breakfast.

I’m known for some unusual breakfasts. Lately, I’ve been trying to get more vegetables into my morning meal. It’s not too difficult, considering that most of my breakfasts are dinner leftovers.

So the other day, I had some of that leftover chicken and rice. I minced a bunch of my homegrown zucchini with onion, mixed it with rice and chicken, and then added the coup d’etat—a couple of tablespoons of leftover chicken gravy.


Boy, was it good.

The next day, I added a minced jalapeno to the mix—if only because I have more jalapenos than zucchini.

Gravy train, indeed.
