Note she's referring to a local CBS TV show report and that it's smart to
have a backup.
There is no indication that she isnt making her own, only that like many,
she thinks it's smart to have a backup plan in place 'incase'.

It normally works for me too, but since I usually make it at best twice a
year and only for certain at Thanksgiving, I have occasionally messed it up
to the point where the jar backup was better. I'll add that when I do the
'open house for Sailors' thing, and am feeding 20 or so (plus us 3), I don't
have the time for the last minute 'make the gravy from scratch' nor a spare
burner to do it on.
