Did some one say gravy cook off???
Girls I am there!! :bun
I will never forget the day Sgt. Hooker taught me how to make gravy before he left our unit. I don't like army bacon, but every morning, while in garrison (on the base) I had two fried eggs, biscuts and Sgt. Hookers homemade gravy, topped with hot sauce of course, fried potatoes again covered in his gravy.
In the field, they would do air drops using food cans called (sp) Marimite cans. Often there would be a canteen filled with gravy attached to one with my name on it, I paid him to do it for me, but then he continued to do it for free. I could get two meals a day out of that canteen, which I returned so it could go back to garrison with the cans.
I don't know much about him, as we were just mess hall buddies. I do know he was from small town in Mississippi and was raised by his granny. I imagen when he left the army he might have become a chef.
ETA: His gravy was better than my moms, sorry mom.....
