As I am on Weight Watchers I am constantly considering Other means to achieve the same goal.

Chicken stock is pretty much unlimited on the plan so are mushrooms. and veggies.

Crimini mushrooms steam sauted with only enough fat for seasoning. either butter or olive oil.
Add in onions and garlic till is smells good. Then chicken stock. You could also take some mushrooms and grind them to a powder in the blender and put them in till its very fine particles and chunks in the stock.

Then use that for the gravy base and add in Chunks of chicken. I would use just a little half and half or full on cream to make it creamy.

It would cost me only the cream and the chicken in points.

I keep large cans, and frozen packages, of veggies for that purpose. I can whip up something on a moment's notice, if necessary.

Perchie hope they are all okay- in all my years I can't recall living in such a scary time. The anxiety just doesn't let up.

Such a horrific ordeal.

Such a horrific ordeal.

Just to be around it has to be upsetting. Grandpas sister Jo is about middle eighties and VERY regimented. She calls my grandma every Saturday precicely at 10 am. Routine is done precicely on time Dishes, floor mopping, vaccuming. If anything upsets her routine she obsesses over it Thank goodness she doesnt drive much any more. But she has NO one except meals on wheels gal and neighbors. and a house keeper that comes in once a week. (she must be a saint)

Then Grandmas nieces are all Functional and driving and have a huge family base so they should be Ok. But just being in the same city however big has got to be traumatic.

We havent heard any from any of them. Could be a good sign. I dont want to ask Grandma because I dont think its occured to her so I have to keep quiet for now.

I just am incapable of understanding why people do this crap.
