Java is a computer programming language developed by Oracle that is widely used on the internet and in a variety of devices. Many websites will not function properly without the latest version of Java installed on your system. For the average user, Java occurs only in the background. Installing Java allows you to run Java scripts in webpages. Most browsers will ask you if you want to run the Java scripts that are on the page you are visiting. This is because java can be used for malicious reasons. You should only run Java programs from websites that you trust. Oracle regularly updates Java with stability and security fixes. These updates keep your Java installation running smooth, and also protect your computer against possible malicious activity.

Pork sausage and bacon are both fairly common to country-style gravy, but they are not necessarily a standard ingredient.  Crumble roughly 1/8 lb (60 g) of sausage into the pan for every 2 cups (500 mL) country gravy you plan to prepare.  Crumble 4 to 6 slices of bacon into the gravy for every 2 cups (500 mL) of country gravy. Cook the sausage or bacon first and set aside. Use the fat from the meat to help form the roux for your gravy. Cook about 1/4 lb (115 g) ground beef for every 2 cups (500 mL) of gravy you plan to prepare.  Cook the hamburger first. Make sure that the beef is fully browned and fully cooked before removing it from the pan. Add about 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of the rendered fat back into the pan to serve as the fat base for your roux. Add the flour, seasonings, and milk according to standard recipe instructions. Stir the cooked, crumbled ground beef back into the country gravy just before serving. Different seasonings can give your country gravy a slightly different taste.  For a kick of heat, try adding 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) ground cayenne pepper, 1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder, or 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL) ground white pepper per 2 cups (500 mL) of gravy. For a warmer taste, add 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, ground cloves, or ground allspice to 2 cups (500 mL) of country gravy. For a more savory taste, add 1 Tbsp (15 mL) fresh herbs like cilantro, oregano, or parsley. Stirring in grated or shredded cheese can turn country gravy into something that can satisfy any cheese-lover at your table.  Add about 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated or shredded cheese per 1 cup (250 mL) sauce. Stir the cheese in at the end, just before serving. Stir until the cheese melts completely. Try cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite type of cheese.

Use acrylic paint and a small paintbrush to paint the board however you desire. The most common way to paint a cribbage board is to paint over the three rows of holes as three stripes in different colors. You can use a ruler as a guide to help you paint the stripes with clean edges. You may also want to use a small sharpie, pen, or a very small paintbrush to write the different labels on the board as shown in the template. You can buy cribbage pegs online, or at a board game store. You can also use 1/8" double-headed nails, or even something like the pegs from a battleship game. Then all you need is a deck of playing cards and you're ready to play!
