Gravy is supposed to be homemade!
I wasn't going to say it (because different strokes for different folks), but yes.
Meatloaf--yummmm. I'm pretty flexible with what kind I like, since as long as it isn't funky tasting or dried out, I'll like it. When I make it myself, it's the basic recipe someone mentioned upthread: ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, worchestshire sauce, chopped onions, and spices, with ketchup and possibly some bacon on top. I do like Boston Market's meatloaf, and their tomato sauce to go with it is very good (a bit thinner than ketchup, but with chopped veggies).

I really enjoyed that bowl thing. But it totally gets an F- for presentation. Don't tell Bourdain on me.(having a Chili's in my neighborhood that I patronize already puts me in "Because it's wrong," territory with him.)
Very, very wrong: a combination of Jello and Cool Whip.
Dude, that was always my favorite! I love cafeteria food. Seriously, not being ironic. Although I don't generally like meatloaf that I don't make myself (Kat's does sound delicious. Mmm, blue cheese...) - it's gotta taste like mom's, which was from I Hate to Cook (that was to my family what Joy of Cooking was to many others).
Gravy is supposed to be homemade!
I was gonna say!!
It was on sale Erin. What was she supposed to do?
Oh, you've met my mother!
Don't HATE!!! We make a ham, not turkey, for holidays. I tart up the gravy, and everything else but the crescent rolls (mmmm, crescent rolls) is homemade!
I am NOT ASHAMED!! I devote my precious prep time to the ham WHICH IS EFFING DELISH and peeling 10 freaking pounds of potatoes.
And cleaning the ENTIRE HOUSE, including lemon oiling the parquet in the entry way after washing on my hands and knees.

So you just have the gravy for putting on the mashies? Huh. Fascinating!

Seriously? Huh.
I only have to make one thing for thanksgiving since it's a pot-luck sort of affair: a potato casserole. Two pounds of southern-style hashbrowns, onion, green pepper, a stick of butter, a tub of sour cream, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and a bunch of cheddar cheese melted on top. It's not something you want to eat everyday.
