But giving up the flavorful flow of mushroom-laden gravy was quite another thing. I watched enviously as my family ladled the luscious liquids over their mashed potatoes, turkey and stuffing. As I nibbled… The post A Thanksgiving Love Story: Bringing Home the Gravy appeared first on Dementia Journey ..read more
