I sure do like “fried chicken”, and it likes to put pounds on me……….I just can’t seem to resist the fried chicken, cream gravy, creamed potatoes, hot rolls and a tossed salad.  I pour the gravy on the chicken, potatoes, and rolls and I’m in “hog heaven”.  I’ll sit there and eat until every savory morsel is gone.  I love my food………..it’s something I’ve always had a craving for.  For some people it’s hard to fry chicken, that turns out good.  I had to work at it for years.  Believe me, it wasn’t as easy as breading it and putting it in the grease and frying.  I got several pieces, that still had the center raw.  So, trail and error became the standard in everything, I’ve learned to cook over the years.  I’ve really learned how to make it all taste “very” good.  Guess that ’s why everyone comes to my house for the holidays.  They know where the good food is going to be and that I’ll be cooking……..lol.

4 to 6 pieces chicken

1 c. flour

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. basil

1 tsp. garlic powder

3/4 c. oil

In bowl mix together dry ingredients, rinse chicken pieces in water, baste in flour mix.  In lg. skillet, place oil and arrange basted chicken.  Fry until sides start to brown, turn and pierce with fork.  When both sides are brown, make sure to pierce again, just in to be sure middle of pieces are done.  Remove to paper toweled plate, to drain off excess oil.  Serve hot.

This is a story about a new bride, who wanted to impress the new husband.  All of 18 yrs. old, I headed out into a new life with a husband by my side.  It was necessary to learn all the things that it took to make life feasible for a new couple.  I had done of the basics, of going to Homemaking classes, in high school and earning great grades.  I hadn’t thought of mastering making cream/white gravy.  It was just something I would do, when the time came.

Here it was!  I made chicken fried steak, creamed potatoes, some other veggie (that I don’t remember) and it was time to make the gravy.  I took some of the grease left over from frying the meat and proceeded to put white flour in to it.  I started stiring it and suddenly it started getting thick………I rushed to get some water to thin it and came back.  Pouring it in and stirring frantically I managed to get it somewhat thinner, which allowed me to go get the milk out of the fridge to thin it even more and make it creamy.  Well, the gravy was so lumpy and thick, I was ashamed of it and threw it in the trash.

Starting over I tried to convince myself that I’d do a better job this time.  Yeah, right!  I finally threw up my hands and told my husband, that if was there if he wanted to eat it, but I was sure it wouldn’t be worth his while.  Being the sweet heart that he was he told me to put some on his meat and potatoes.  He made every effort to eat it, with the extra seasoning it took to make it edible.  A few minutes later, after dinner was over, I went in to clean the kitchen.  The gravy in the pan, was now thick enough that I was able to stand a knife up in it, without it falling……….!

Learning to cook a good gravy, is not easy……….neither is making biscuits from scratch.
