GRAVY OR WHITE SAUCE

1 CUBE OF MARGARINE (MELTED IN PAN)

1/2 CUP OF FLOUR STIRRED INTO PAN WITH BUTTER. BROWN THE FLOUR

SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE. ABOUT 1/2 TABLE SPOON OF SALT

ON MED. HIGH HEAT TO GIVE IT FLAVOR. KEEP THE FLOUR STIRRED AND CRUMBLED SO IT WON'T BURN. HAVE ABOUT 1 1/2 PINTS MILK READY TO POUR IN AS SOON AS THE FLOUR IS BROWNED. ADD ABOUT HALF THE MILK AND STIR UNTIL IT STARTS TO THICKEN. USE THE REST TO MAKE THE THICKNESS THAT YOU WANT. USE AS MUCH MILK AS NESSARY TO THIN. IF WHEN IT COOLS SOME IT FORMS A SKIN ON THE TOP JUST ADD A LITTLE MORE MILK.

THIS CAN HAVE HAMBURGER OR TUNA TO FLAVOR

ALSO GREAT WITH PEAS AND RED POTATOES. HAVE THEM BOILED AND POUR GRAVY OVER THEM.

DADS CAR CARE TIPS

KIDS SUMMER IS GETTING NEAR. WITH THAT SAID I WOULD ASK ALL OF YOU TO CHECK THE BELTS AND HOSES ON YOUR CARS AND TRUCKS. TO DO THIS LOOK AT THEM BUT ALSO CHECK FOR WEAR OR CRACKS BOTH IN THE HOSES AND THE BELTS. THE BELTS ALSO MAY SHOW SIGNS OF SLIPPING WHEN YOU SEE A SHINNY OR GLAZED AREA ON THEM. CHECK YOUR ANTI-FREEZE COOLANT BOTH IN THE RADIATOR AND OVERFLOW. SOME OF YOUR CARS ONLY HAVE A OVERFLOW TANK. LIKE SARA AND ERIC'S PONTIAC.
IF YOU HAVE NOT CHANGED YOUR OIL IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS OR 5,000 MILES DO IT. THERE ARE MANY OPINIONS ON THIS BUT THIS IS A GOOD STARTING POINT TO SHOT FOR.
YOUR AIR FILTERS SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 15,000 MILES UNLESS YOU ARE IN DUSTY CONDITIONS AND THEN YOU NEED TO INSPECT THEM MORE OFTEN.
YOUR TIRES ARE VERY IMPORTANT ALSO. KEEP THE PRESSURE CHECKED IT SHOULD BE AT OR JUST ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRES. IN THE WINTER WHEN IT IS COLD IT TAKES MORE AIR TO INFLATE THEN. NOW WITH WARMER TEMPERTURES THEY WILL BECOME OVER INFLATED. YOUR TIRE PRESSURE SHOULD BE CHECKED EVERY MONTH. YOU SHOULD ROTATE THEM EVERY 5,000 TO 7,500 MILE TO MAKE THEM LAST THE LONGEST.
