The Cure for Our Cold Weather: Sausage Gravy!

The temperatures predicted for later this week in Accordion City don’t look terribly promising:

As a point of reference for my American readers, –11 degrees C, the average daytime temperature over these 5 days, is 12 degrees F. –18 degrees C, the average nighttime temperature over these 5 days, is 0 degrees F.

There is something that can help, but unfortunately, it’s not available in Canada. I’m talking about Bob Evans biscuits and gravy, complete with sausage gravy dispenser:

Why, oh why, don’t our 7-11 stores stock this stuff? I love biscuits and gravy. If it were socially acceptable (that is, if The Missus would let me), I’d spend my day sitting in a tub of it.

  • Yeah, but Bob Evans' portions are hilariously large. You could survive the weekend on leftovers.

    Biscuits are pretty easy and quick to make. Shame we can't make good white gravy to save ourselves in Canada.

  • Frankly, the biscuit dispenser disturbs me more than the gravy one (perhaps because gravy is at least semi-liquid, or perhaps because I like biscuits).

    I don't know why, but white gravy gives me the willies.

  • If you do it at work, and don't blog or tweet about it, The Missus won't know.

    I'm presuming that Microsoft has tubs, of course. If it doesn't, you could go to a cyberspa and work there.

  • The idea of biscuits and gravy always sounded so appealing to me until I realized that the "gravy" was some sort of gooey white stuff. To me, "gravy" implies some sort of tasty meat juice is involved.
