Reply to comment by PickyNipples in TIL that in WW2, a Marine Corps Corsair pilot used his propeller to chew off the tail of an enemy aircraft after his guns jammed, while under fire from the enemy plane's tailgunner. The enemy plane crashed but the Corsair pilot made it back to base, receiving the Navy Cross for his actions. by hipster_deckard
The plane was reconnaissance, so it could have used stretched canvas to skin much of the plane instead of metal.

Yes, but the grandparent post asked how to make a gravy. I was just providing tip on how to avoid some common mistakes. I was assuming the initial poster in this thread could make pbj and heat some Campbells, not the discuss subtitles of rouxs and whether to wet or dry brine the turkey.

My point was that if you are rushing and dump the flour into the hot drippings, it will clump. Rookies may not know this. To avoid the clumps, either make a slurry by mixing the flour and cold water, or sprinkle the flour while whisking.
Of course with your version the drippings have cooled so they won’t have the problem.

Make sure you start things out cold. If you’re doing this last minute, mix the flour and cold water together into a paste first. Otherwise, you’ll have big lumps of flour.

After cleaning, wait until it is thoroughly dry before using and always put a stone into a cold oven. Personally, I always leave mine in and only take it out for cleaning.

You have it backwards. The Vela region is opposite Andromeda from our reference point, so we’re in between the two.
