Biscuits and gravy...

If it isn't already, it's going to be... MY THANKSGIVING TRADITION: biscuits and gravy the morning after. I can think of only two places where I can get biscuits and gravy at a restaurant. One is in Denver, and the other is in Portland. The first time I remember having biscuits and gravy was at a cute little Victorian house turned into a cafe in Sellwood, not far from my parents' house. Amy and Suzanne and I met up for a breakfast date probably three or four years ago. I thought it quite novel that I could order it because it wasn't made with sausage. And it was delicious! I think I made biscuits and gravy for breakfast the couple of years with the leftover gravy from Thanksgiving. I think I did. Regardless, this morning I got up early and made some homemade biscuits and then smothered them with the leftover gravy. As an embellishment this year, I chopped up an Apple Sage fake sausage (Grain Meat Co. makes flavorful fake sausages) and cooked it with the gravy. It really hit the spot!
