Tiger by the Tailgate
Larry and Sally hike a sunlit jungle trail in full safari kit and come back with a third guest for the cookout: a tiger. Beers in hand, sausage and peppers on the grill, and the biggest cat in the jungle leaning in for a sniff — this tailgate has a strict no-sudden-movements policy.
Quick answer
What is Italian seasoning and how do you make it?
Italian seasoning is a dried herb blend — usually oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary and marjoram — popular in American and Italian-American kitchens rather than a traditional Italian ingredient. To make it: combine 2 tablespoons each dried oregano and basil with 1 tablespoon each dried thyme and marjoram and 1 teaspoon crumbled rosemary. Store airtight and use within about six months for the best aroma.
