Well now, that heading comes from a fave restaurant’s menu – I have this internal proofreader that I can’t turn off, that provides much entertainment. “Lion of Pork” has officially dethroned “Frank Steak” as my favorite menu wordplay lately. I have been cooking up a storm of late, the aforementioned “lion of pork”, La Brea Bakery’s most tasty stuffing, and a self-designed “vegetable assault” soup. Did I mention the major leaps of culinary excellence afforded by the Dipping line?? I promise to provide additional info, but I can state that I purchased my set of Dipping seasonings, rather breathlessly, at Oil and Vinegar in Bellevue, WA. It is like having an Italian Matriarch, emm, in a can. Emm.

Yeah, right. S’all molto bene!!
