Can you believe 2013 is almost dunzo? I don’t know about you but this hasn’t been my favourite year and I can’t wait for it to voetsek. I do, however, have a good feeling about 2014.

Anyway, I was going to create a final ‘Christmas-y post’ on my top beauty-related gift items but just didn’t get around to it, what with end of year wrap up madness and an impromptu relocation to a new apartment. Still, I’d like to leave you with this; a recipe for KFC-style gravy.

It’s based off of something I found on the net and then fiddled with and tweaked a little bit. The end result is pretty darn good, I think, so that’s my somewhat random ‘gift’ to you; a merry li’l heart attack in a gravy boat.

KFC-style gravy

Take two tablespoons of butter (not marge) and melt it in the micro with two tablespoons of Maizina and mix it up to create a disgusting paste. Next, pour in about a cup of boiling water with a chicken stock cube AND a beef stock cube mixed in plus a few generous shakes of Aromat. Stir, stir, stir – nuke it in the micro a bit once more and then stir, stir, stir once more.

Just like that, you’ll have KFC-style gravy! Then, if you like adding their chilli salt to the gravy like I do, add in a few heavy shakes of cayenne pepper. Ta fucking da! 

If any of you try it, please let me know your thoughts. Otherwise, this is me signing off for the year and wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a kifftastical new year.

Love, love
