My aunt (cup of Joes MIL) made the best biscuits and gravy that I ever had, but they didn't love me, just sit in the pit of my stomach all day making me feel bloated.
Dad liked grits mixed with the gravy. He told me once that the best that he found North of the Mason-Dixon line was in a little diner called "The Post Office" (actual former PO) in Provincetown MA, but he had to order separate meals to get what he wanted, ala Jack Nicholson in "Five Easy Pieces" trying to get a simple chicken salad sandwich.
Worked with a guy in AK who was originally from Philly (Super Smart Engineer, but major fault was that he knew what was the "best of everything" and claimed Philly pizza was better than NY, them's fightin words where I come from) I had told him that when I was visiting relatives in the Carolinas that I bought some "real grits" he wondered why I did that when in Juneau you can just go to the Fred Myer and get some. We all know that "no self respectin' southerner eats instant grits", even though I'm not a southerner I prefer the real ones. Unfortunately I have yet to find anything but instant here in the greater Phoenix area.
Well she lives closer to you now, get her to come over and fix up some.
Is was a big consumer of Stouffer's frozen creamed chipped beef over a toasted biscuit, 10 minute prep time with a microwave and toaster oven, yummy.?ÿ Unfortunately it disappeared from my store's freezer years ago.
Anybody into Hormel's Dried Beef??ÿ Comes in a glass jar and keeps for years unrefrigerated which is perfect for dry camping, sort of like instant bacon right out of the jar and a great addition to quick fix salads, appetizers, etc., and lasagna, pizza, etc. as a topping.?ÿ Unfortunately it's now $40/pound so SWMBO said buy no more, we're not millionaires.
Funny that they're claiming it's gluten free, all meat with no additives has no gluten in it.

@mike-marks Yes!?ÿ My otherwise extremely frugal grandfather allowed himself the occasional luxury of Hormel Dried Beef.?ÿ I had no idea it was such an expensive item until I went to purchase my own as an adult.
gluten free
If they didn't label it, then how would the non gluten people know it's gluten free? Do you think their gonna take the time to actually do some research??ÿ
Think of how long a list of "frees" could be generated for common products.
A bag of carrots in the produce aisle could contain 100 frees listed on the bag.?ÿ Add in " NO XXXXXX ADDEDs" and you would need very fine print or a much bigger bag.
A one-gallon jug of distilled water might have the ultimate list.
