Jim, you must have grown up on the wealthy side of the tracks. In my family, we make our gravy with water. When we make this stuff with ground beef, we call it "School Gravy", because both my grandmothers worked in the same school cafeteria and this was on the menu a few times a week. The school served it over mashed potatoes, so that's how my family does it, too. I call mine "Scarborough Faire" because I season it with (you guessed it): parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
