I don’t like gravy, except for the kind that goes with biscuits.

No gravy, how about pasta sauce?
………………………………………….
Uncle Bills famous (infamous?) pasta sauce:
♫
2 med/lg tomatoes
1 med/lg red onion
1 sweet red bell pepper
1 oz apple cider vinegar
some no-salt Italian seasoning and some ground pepper
(optional) mushrooms, garlic
(optional) 4 or 5 oz Asiago cheese (no other cheese will do)
♫
Start water boiling for pasta but dont add salt. Add pasta when boiling. Meanwhile, slice the onion in half at its “equator” and slice off the ends, slice the pepper in half from “pole to pole” after removing stem and seedy core. Place them on a plate and cook in microwave oven for 10 to 11 min (longer if you have an older weaker mw oven). Dice the tomatoes and place in blender with the cooked onion and pepper, asiago cheese (and optional mushrooms and/or garlic if you want). Add 1 oz apple cider vinegar and Italian seasoning. Blend to desired consistency. You may have to add liquid or water depending on your blender and/or the tomatoes used. If you use canned mushrooms you can use the liquid from that too. Makes enough sauce for 16 oz (dry uncooked weight) of pasta. I recommend pasta that can be eaten with a table spoon such as fiore, mini farfalle, radiatore, rotini, small or med shells or elbow macaroni. Enjoy.
♫
You may want to cook the onion and pepper differently than in the microwave oven. That’s up to you but they must be cooked. Same with the mushrooms and garlic.
………………………………………………………………….
One caveat: I used to just use the raw tomatoes but ever since I got stung by a hornet in summer 2010, I’ve become sensitive to raw tomatoes, fresh berries and nuts. I break out in hives if I eat them, they have to be cooked.

Thats the best kind. It is made from milk, flour and grease.

This time, he DIDN"T forget the gravy. (Ref: Chow Hound, Looney Tunes)

@SUSAN NEWMAN

Susan, you have never been to Canada then. Virtually any restaraunt will ask you if you want gravy with your fries.
.
Yes! they do taste good.
.
Try poutine too!!

Using 6" as Garfield’s average stomach to top of spine height, and 14" as his sans-tail length. Then treating his body as a cylinder. (He is fat remember.)
.
Then Garfield’s volume is about 27 cups.
.
He wants enough gravy to swim in. Enough said, I think.

The greatest gravies are from the turkey drippings (prefferably Prime Turkey or Butterball) or chicken bouillons, goes great with instant mashed potatoes!!!!

The second panel is an exact copy of the first. Can tell by doing a stereo-view (crossing eyes, blending the two panels together). Anyone who’s read my comments on SKIPPY knows this is a pet peeve of mine (no pun intended).
