Reply #12: I feel as unqualified as Sarah Palin posting in Cooking & Baking

but I bring advice from NanceGreggs, who - no lie - makes the best gravy I've ever tasted. She advises cutting the gravy with a very dry red wine, spoonful by spoonful to taste, until the sweetness backs down. She'd have posted this herself, but she'd rather dictate her instructions to me, her secretary.
