bacon, bacon grease, pan sauce, and gravy

Disaster after disaster this evening as I tried my hand at a couple different sauces: a red-wine-reduction pan sauce made from bacon fond, and a white gravy made with bacon grease. Neither worked out very well, but the pan sauce was... passable. Not ready for prime time, but I'll keep it and use it for something. Meantime, I've thrown out the bacon-grease gravy and will focus on making a more legitimate pan sauce with better ingredients Wednesday evening—something I can reheat right before Saturday's meal and pour onto plates. Wednesday evening, then, I'll try again.
