Are you over the whole Tuscany thing yet? You know, the rolling hills, the Chianti, the autobiographical I-fixed-up-my-crumbling-villa books, the films, blah, blah, blah.... Everyone, they say now, is vacationing elsewhere in Italy. Elsewhere is cheaper, they say, Elsewhere is less crowded. But, the thing is, Tuscany is just great. Still great. And, as a company of people who make food, cook food, write about food, sell food, and love food, we can’t give up on Tuscany just yet. Sure, our most recent trips were to Sicily and Umbria, but we always return, physically and culinarily, to Tuscany. Um, excuse me, but, fresh pork, rosemary, white beans, and, yeah, Chianti...what’s not to like? We thought of Tuscany this week when a tender little piglet came into our possession. Roasted pork, anyone? Rosemary? Chianti? In the oven, or on the grill like a true Tuscan. Come on, you know you want to.

I need some marquez for my couscous. (I'm serious.)
I need a piglet loin!
Funny you should mention all that, I was thinking the same thing.
Marquez please. Don't forget the marquez.
Okay, I will be picking up two of the loin roasts, a package of chorizo, 2 Mergeuz, 2 Toulouse and a package of the Rosso. And I believe the only thing we will be eating ourselves is the package of Merguez. Woot!
