One Christmas I made it, to go with whatever roast I was making. I was home from college at my moms. I literally cooked all day and the meal was just about done. The Demi glaze was straining into a out in the sink. My mother was doing the dishes and trying to clean up a little before dinner. She washed it down the drain.........I almost murdered her lol
