Country-Fried Pork with Gravy

A few days ago I made this recipe from Cook's Country for Country-Fried Pork with Gravy. It was mediocre. The pork had no flavor, and though the gravy wasn't bad I thought it was really silly the gravy was made before hand and did not use the drippings/browned bits in the pan. The recipe explained that the gravy was made before hand so the fried pork could be served immediately since it fries really fast. What a stupid reason. You could keep it warm in the oven while you make the gravy! I think the gravy might be decent if it was changed to use the pan the pork was fried in. Won't be making this again though.
