From my gravy loving family to yours…we hope you had a wonderful holiday!
She never liked gravy until this year, and apparently, she can’t get enough. This is blackmail when she brings home her first date. Muhahah!

In the 1800's, when hand-worked printing presses were in operation, 'sorts' were the technical term for individual letters. Solo characters became words and words became sentences.
The modern frustrated phrase, "I'm out of sorts", originates when the master printer looked down at his empty trays and lamented he could go no further in his work as all of his letters were used.
This is why I changed the blog title from "Amnesia" to "Out of Sorts", because it seems like I'm always looking for words and I'm constantly running out. :)

Well, sure. I mean, who doesn’t like gravy?

If you enjoy gravy, you would have no problem with the gram cracker cake, pineapple frosting and chocolate pudding between the layers.
As to eating the gravy, there’s no problem until age 26, when your body goes into repair mode.
I hope you can find the skit from Blue Collar TV about Sid’s House of Gravy.
Best.

Nathan, what are you kidding? I make gravy with bacon grease – I mean, seriously man, you can’t just throw that stuff out.

Jim,
I’ll agree that it’s a most valuable and wondrous substance, but that doesn’t mean I’d lick the congealed mass straight from the pan.

Young children need those calories for growing! Large fifty-ish children, not so much.
