Did you use the gravy mix I sent you? (I *think* I sent some anyways!!)

I actually bought some more the other day, not that we use it. But I've
found my pooch has a penchant for any sort of gravy over her meat or
doggie biscuits :-)

Anything to please the poor old dear ;-) (She'll be 10 next June)

So now whenever I steam veges, I keep the leftover water till there's
enough to make a saucepan full , and make her a fresh batch of gravy.
