Gravy

I'm cooking gravy for the pre-Thanksgiving celebration my college buddies and I hold every year. This time we're meeting at our friend's place in Salt Lake City. I'm cooking the gravy a few days in advance, so it gives me more time to hang out with my buddies. I'm making a meat lover's version with turkey wings (big pot) and a vegan version for my buddy Dov. I wanted to take a photo of both steaming pots, but my 35mm lens (52.5mm focal length on my DSLR) isn't very wide, so I had to lift the camera up high over my head. It took eleven shots before I finally found one I liked. Actually, I missed the left edge of the big pot, but I gave up trying for the perfect composition. Thank goodness I wasn't shooting film, it would have taken nearly half a roll to capture that photo! I should have taken advantage of my camera's Live View feature. Just for kicks, along the left are the first ten shots I took. For the curious cook, you can find the recipe I used on Food Network. Update: it's past 2am and I'm finally done cooking the large pot of gravy. The recipe yields 5-6 cups, but I doubled the amount of ingredients to make more. Somehow, I ended up with less than 2 cups! Sigh, I'm going to have to try it again tomorrow night.
