Buy a smoke alarm fitted with a "hush button" so if it goes off accidentally you can silence it instantly. That way you won't be tempted to remove the battery (except to change it for a new one). If your alarm keeps going off unnecessarily you may need to move it further away from the kitchen.
Dry food before putting it in a deep fat fryer (water can make the oil explode).
Mix all except water (or milk) together in a small bowl to form a paste. Slowly add water while stirring vigorously. (Ketchup will be hardest to blend). Heat to boiling in skillet or pan containing drippings from entree. Stir until thickened to desired consistency. Serve. (NOTE: Substitute milk for water to simulate "country-style cream gravy")
