It all started a few weeks ago. My girlfriend got sick, so I went to the store for orange juice, medicine, and soup. The problem comes that my girlfriend is pescetarian, and chicken noodle soup isn't going to do anything but make her more ill. So, I went down the soup aisle, looking for a replacement that is savory and warm, but doesn't contain meat. I found the Lipton soup mixes, and while I'd never used them aside for their intended purpose (making onion dip, obviously), I figured it'd be worth a go.
And it was. It was warm and tasty, and it was good. Not life changing good, but good none-the-less. When I was reading over the box when one of the other recipes on the box caught my eye. It wasn't for the dip, and it wasn't the one for slow-cooker pulled pork (although my mouth is watering just thinking about it.)
It was for gravy. So, the next week we whipped up some of Blackmoonshine's cheese balls, made some boxed mashed potatoes, and covered the whole thing with mushroom gravy.
It was glorious.
The next step will be make poutine, American style. I'm assuming that, too, will be glorious.
So, I guess what I'm really trying to say is this: Get some, stick it in your cupboard, and you won't regret it. Should you make a mad dash to the store, right this instant? No. It's not going to change your life, it's not essential, but it is good, and worth having around. So, next time you are in the store and thinking of this post, do it. You won't regret it.
