LOL!!! I usually like my gravy with the roast and potatoes the first
night as well as the next night. <g> It's an extra gadget, to be sure,
but one I wouldn't be without. When I need it (for gravy tonight
instead of tomorrow), it's a must. Cupboard space I can find for such a
tool ("This' a Tool, not a Toy!). If it had to fit into a drawer I'd
think four times.
