I am getting on my bandwagon today, because this topic just keeps hitting me in the face lately.

It seemed simple enough. I was nearly out of green peppercorns, the ones packed in brine, so I added them to my grocery list. I don’t go through them quickly, but every now and then, when I’m splurging on a nice steak, I like pungent green peppercorn sauce, the kind you might find in a … Continue reading
