CHINESE PEPPERED STEAK is a stir fry American- Chinese dish of sliced beef or pork with green or red pepper typically cooked with seasoning such as soy sauce, ginger and thickened with cornstarch.  Chopped onions and bean sprouts can be added to the dish. 
Chinese Pepper Steak has been in existence since 1948 and originated from Fujian Cuisine. 


LETTUCE WITH GRAVY is just how it sounds.... Its wilted lettuce cooked with bacon fat, water (sometimes cream) and flour and made into a thickened sauce and then mixed together sugar, cider vinegar and molasses, cooking it a low heat until it becomes the consistency of a rich syrup. You combine the two sauces into a gravy and pour over the lettuce. Stir gravy over lettuce gently until wilted and serve immediately.


COPPA ISOLA BELLA is a delicious sorbet with vanilla ice cream, fruit, whipped cream and topped with black cherry sauce. Yummm
