[Spridgets] Homemade Sauce No LBC

[Kathryn Bales]

Measure???  My mother was Irish, Native American, and German, and my dad 
was 100% Irish. I make lousy gravy, but I add enough mushrooms to it to 
make it edible. One of my dad's sisters married an Italian who owned a 
restaurant in Bridgeport, CT, so that is how she learned to cook 
Italian. My German recipes are all old family also.
