This picture does not do this culinary wonder justice, but after a long night of playin, drinkin, karaoke'in, fightin, and general rabblerousin, a suitable breakfast was necessary. Last weekend we went to Shoney's hoping for the Breakfast Bar, and all we got was the Meat Bar of shrimp, boiled ham, chicken wings, fried chicken, fish sticks, "ribs", and Shoney's mini ham cubes for your Shoney's salad which you HAVE to put chow mein noodles on or it's just not right. Well, that was last week. THIS WEEK, it was all bacon and eggs and Southern Style biscuits with CHOCOLATE GRAVY.
Here's the recipe:
1 cup sugar
3 TB cocoa
5 TB flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup water
1/2 stick butter
Mix the sugar, cocoa, flour, milk and water in a pan over medium heat. Whisk it like your life depends on it. Keep whisking. Whisk for 30 minutes or more until it's almost like pudding. Take it off the heat and add the butter. Stir. Dollop it on your biscuits with generous gluttony. You should ignore the fact that there is 1/2 a stick of butter in there, and butter your biscuits, too. Eat. Smile. Be Happy. Be Full. Take the leftovers to a party where no one knows what chocolate gravy is. Eat their potato casseroles and squash casseroles and homemade pesto and turkey meatloaves and drink their liquor. Watch as your chocolate gravy sits unattended and unappreciated. Take it home after the party and eat it with a spoon before you go to bed. Eat it in bed if you want to. Because IT IS AWESOME.
