any browned bits from the bottom of skillet. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook,
stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until thickened and bubbly. Add 1/4
teaspoon salt, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons pepper; gravy should be quite
peppery.

Oh Matthew you shouldn't have. I mean really shouldn't have. I'm on a
diet and got fat just looking at it. Imagine what's going to happen
when I make it.
