Imagine that!! Sometimes we just make things too difficult. If you do get around to making the pot roast, I am sure you will enjoy it. It is really good.:)

From what I'm reading here it seems it was a widespread custom, but throughout my growing-up years gravy was only served with holiday dinners- Thanksgiving, and sometimes Christmas.
Potatoes were a usual part of most dinners, but we used butter (margarine, actually), not gravy.

To answer the OP: throughout the years/decades my #1 thing has been a simple dessert called Hershey pie. Obtained the recipe when I was still in high school, and everybody has loved it. I 'tweaked' a couple of ingredients to make it a little different from the original recipe.

Of course!
A minor problem I've encountered with recipes that call for specific size packages/containers of ingredients is the companies change the sizes!

The original recipe calls for: one large Hershey bar- I use one and a half 6.8 oz. Symphony bars, as they melt better;
one large tub Cool Whip- I use 12-oz. tub;
one graham-cracker pie crust- I use the chocolate graham-cracker crust. They also come in
individual sizes.

Put the Cool Whip in a large bowl and let it soften.
Melt the chocolate bar in a double-boiler (unless you prefer microwave).
Carefully but quickly blend the melted chocolate into the Cool Whip.
Let it set in the refrigerator for a few hours.. and then serve (or eat :) ).

Mashed potato here always has both butter and Gravy..it would be unthinkable to serve mashed potato without butter, with or without gravy... :D
