Thanksgiving 2015 Mashed Potatoes and Gravy Traditional Cache

My father was born in 1925 in Riceville Iowa. He was a meat and potatoe kind of guy. But potatoes or rice  or toast needed gravy. Not canned gravy or gravy mix but multiple ingredients home made gravy. By the age of 12 I was a pro at making lump free gravy. When you make gravy for a house of 8 people that is a big pot of gravy because you need to have enough gravy for leftovers.

This cache is in honor of all those mashed potatoes and gravy lovers out there.
