To add to the eye appeal of gravy when it isn't brown enough, add a little leftover coffee. The name, "Journeyman Painter" Paint-er" comes from the painters who, at the time of the Renaissance, journeyed from country to country coun-try with their brushes, palettes, and secretly blended paints. In today's parlance, a journeyman painter is one who has had at least three years' experience and schooling as an apprentice. When you thicken gravy with flour, you can avoid lumpiness by mixing a little cornstarch with the flour. Small holes in the bottom of an aluminum pot can be mended at home. Buy some small copper or aluminum rivets, one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter and one-eighth of an inch long. Enlarge the hole so you can force the rivet through from the inside; then rest the head of the rivet on some hard metal surface and tap the other end with a hammer until it flattens out and tightens up in the hole. Precaution Always stop all machinery before oiling, adjusting or unclogging.
