Introduction

This is a great item to prep "now" while making something else as it NEEDS TO MARINATE FOR SEVERAL HOURS.

I even threw this in the freezer for a few days and then moved it to the fridge the night before I was going to be using it. This is a great item to prep "now" while making something else as it NEEDS TO MARINATE FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
