I just pulled a piece of AJ's Sicilian rope sausage out of the freezer
(the fridgetop, not even the deep-freeze) that I'd bagged on
2004-05-13, and it was fresh and fantastic in a little pomodoro with
trenne pasta. I think the pasta was about that old, too. The evoo,
finely minced clove of garlic, and Penzey's Italian herb mix didn't
hurt it, either.

Those Tilia folks are geniuses.
