A true local product--made in Seattle. I discovered them just a week ago and have already consumed two jars. In fact, dinner last night (we'd had a large, late lunch) was a plate of camembert slices richly lathered with Mama Lil's (the sliced peppers in oil with garlic), a plate of cool sliced cucumbers, Wasa multi-grain crackers, and a bottle of a Washington riesling. I could eat the same meal all over again tonight.
Most interesting, though, was how well Bob took this meal. You have to understand that when I met him he did not eat hot food, pickled food or peppers of any kind. I've slowly been sneaking these foods into our repertoire--a few peppers with a sandwich, a pickle in his lunch, that kind of thing. But last night was the first time I dared make a whole meal around something pickled, and these are fairly hot to boot. Yet he sat there last night raving, literally RAVING, about how good this was!
My work is done.
