Pork Larb Lettuce Wrap

I saw how beautiful and delicious the heads of lettuce from Cleverley Farms were looking extra delicious (and early to the market).  So the first thing in my head was the Larb.  Now there were a number of recipes for larb, and I chose this one, because of the user of pork, which is our primary meat source right now.

So a side note here.  It seems almost random as to the heat level of jalapeno peppers.  Some you get that are as mild as a green pepper and other's closing other actually very hot peppers.  It is annoying to deal with.

Anyways, after 3 stores (normal, one I went to for bread and the one just a couple of blocks over), no thai chilies would avail themselves to be found, so I swapped with jalapenos.  It was a pretty good meal, the problem being with the heat level control.

Cream Sauce with Sausage and Peas

So this night was a total mess.  Leave work late, get a call late, then a random power outage (the store was over, almost finished with the work from home everything loses power.  Anyways by the fading light of day, because Verizon's service decided to go from the normal LTE I can get outside, to basically no data.  Can't load a recipe so I basically threw something together.  I'll have to make this again.
