   The latest time that I cooked a chop, I shaved off the fat, found it   
   far too little to make gravy, and chopped up half a slice of some   
   all-fat bacon I happened to have.  (The bacon wasn't all fat, but the   
   half slice that I cut up was.)   
      
   I put the fat snippets into one of my medium-small iron skillets and   
   left them on a burner set on simmer until most of the fat was out.   
   Then I fetched a coffee measure of white-wheat flour ("White" wheat is   
   beige, and makes ecru flour.), made roux, and dribbled in a cup of   
   milk the usual way.   
      
   Then I put in the raw chop, put the other skillet on for a lid, and   
   simmered for an hour, stirring and turning occasionally.   
      
   Salt and pepper got in somewhere along the line.
