Tonight's entree is seared, sous-vide pork roast with peppers and carrots and mashed potatoes. I would like to figure out some gravy, but maybe not...

Any liquid/drippings from cooking. Any broth, I like Better Than Bouillon. Since it's pork, you can choose...beef, chicken, mushroom...even vegetarian or onion. Use the drippings and add some broth if need more liquid. Add some flour and butter and whisk constantly on low heat till it thickens and browns some. This is your roux. Add some broth and slowly whisk in some sifted flour a little at a time over low heat, make as much as you want. If it gets thick, add some broth...if it's thin add some flour. Don't add salt until you taste the broth and it's saltiness level. Salt and pepper to taste...voila!

I haven't had Cream of Wheat for years. I had it with milk and just a sprinkle of brown sugar.

Tonight we're grilling steaks. We haven't decided on the sides to go with it yet. If it was up to me, a cold Yuengling and a hot steak would be good enough.
