Cool.
Nothing like making your own food the way you like it.

I usually end up making gravy for some thing with dinner every night. With four males in the house we eat a lot of "meat and potato" dinners so you eventually get things down to being as quick as possible. That's when I figured out the trick with mixing your drippings. Get your basics in your skillet then add in any leftover gravy, it never misses ;)
Corn Starch can be a bit tricky so make sure you follow the directions on the package. If you add to much water to the corn starch it won't set up properly and you have to keep adding more.
Another tip with corn starch, don't let it set! Be ready to use the starch/water as soon as you mix it up or it will clump when you pour it into your gravy.
I love to cook, but my specialty is Mexican food.
