One of the great culinary joys of my life happened when a guy whose family owns a pork store in Brooklyn moved to my area, opened up his own store and taught me how to make gravy.

You laughin’ at me? Hey?
That was pretty funny!
You had chickens?

That creep was all hands. He wouldn’t leave me alone (not that I blame him). I had to plug him full of lead.
