Is that just browned flour? What kind of flavor does it give the gravy?

I can make a roux, to any color you like, in the microwave in 5 minutes or so. And it doesn't stink up the house for a day. Since I started doing it this way I see no need for pre-made roux.

I love it but I'm a dago so it's right up my alley. I actually prefer to drink wine out of those short glasses they give you. I love their shrimp, oysters, sausage, spaghetti bordelaise, and wop salad. Good steak, too. A lot of people love their marinated crabs but I don't like picking crabs that ar...

Which Winn Dixie is that?
