Sauces and gravies can bridge the difference between a mediocre dish and a phenomenal one.
I've been surprised many times over the years whenever I've met someone that can cook but doesn't know what a roux is, never mind how to prepare one.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.
Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."
No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.
