Home-made Mayonnaise is fine.Cheap.Sugar-free.Tasty.One egg, mustard, oil , salt.3 minutes time.
I believe there's a clever in-built indicator,generally around the 3-large spoonfulls level, that barks: "Liver attack ahead!"
Most take-away sandwiches are dipped in some shampoo-ey goo.
The only US-made food I trust is Tabasco.
Cajun food, that sounds like something real!
Yep. Ive been going back to my mom’s home town of Campti, La., every couple years. It’s in between Coushatta and Natchitoches, on the Red river. Lots of Summers there, fishing and catching those mud bugs eating crawfish etouffee. As a kid I worked at the livestock auction there in Campti for spending money. Building is still there though run down and vacant for many years now. My mom lives on lake Murray near us now in SC, but she still makes etouffee and she sprinkles filet gumbo seasoning on EVERYTHING, so I’m careful what I put on my plate when I go over for supper.

Wouldn't you like be pepper prepper too?

I would stock up on the Tabasco mon frere...

Pepper not prepper shortages looming ahead, as Huey Fong makers of Sriracha, Chili Garlic and Sambal Oelek announce a pepper shortage so severe that orders taken after last September will not be filled. This could get better, could get worse. I always expect the worse. Best thing that could happen is that you were wrong.


While Tabasco is made from Tabasco chilies and Sriracha uses Jalapenos, one crop failure is not far from another.

Hot sauce is going to be as hard to get as b*ttwipe was once upon a time in the west.


You heard it here.

While we're waiting on one day having cell reception at home and local potholes to be fixed, a million miles away from home the $16 billion dollar James Webb telescope just took a hit its nearly priceless mirror by a micrometeorid.

Apparently that can happen a lot out there, a million miles away, literally.

Get ready to get baked for y'all in the SW. Texas sized heatstorm, normally I would have said "a little early in the year" but last year proved that wrong. June was a cooker like nothing previously seen in a coon's at least.




While we get a Super Moisture Plume.

I need to mow again, now!

We have 5 Carolina Reaper plants and 1 Jalapeno plant, all with fruit. Planning to make powder, flakes, and sauce, as well as save some seeds for more plants. Peppers are pretty easy to grow and protected from cold can last a couple years at least. We had a Carolina Reaper bear for three summers. It got about eight feet tall, but was top heavy so the stalks would fall over.

Tabasco grows peppers across South and Central America. Huy Fong only sources peppers from California.

It could happen, but don't think we're going to have a Tabasco shortage!

By way of ripple effect through the hot sauce galaxy who knows what could happen, and that's if Tabasco wasn't already in a lot of hot water, which they are.

The island itself is dropping at a rate of about an inch every three years. Climate change and development by oil and gas companies are contributing to the demise. All of that is forcing the McIlhenny family, which is now in its' seventh generation of producing the hot stuff, to rethink their options.Apr 6, 2018"

Everybody Panic! There May Be a Tabasco Sauce Shortage


See, the sky really is falling, except for where they make Tabasco, the sky there is actually going up.

If you can't find any hot sauce go for the total insanity type, there will last a long time because one drop will make a whole pot of chili hotter than some sensitive types could handle.

Go easy, these are potentially life threatening if mishandled.

What is the hottest hot sauce in the world?

The hottest hot sauce in the world is called Mad Dog 357 Plutonium No. 9 and comes in at 9 million Scoville Hotness Units (SHUs). This pepper extract is one of the hottest and purest in the entire world.

Not afraid of Tabasco shortage -though that would be a catastrophe!- since a bottle will last about 10 years ...I used to love Dynamite and TNT when I was ...er....younger. Now it's Moutarde De Dijon, Orleans made vinegar, pickles.Not so keen on pepper anymore.Tabasco is easily available here, other brands not so much.But I may find African hot sauce that melts my eyeballs in my neighborhood.And if I really mean "hot", I go to the Indian restaurant and ask for all the fireworks!

Incredibly beautiful this morning, sunlight on wet grass birds singing.

So much to do.

I got a day to myself yesterday.

Decided to run my Trio through Roland 1x12 amp for drum/bass track alone, ES335 rhythm guitar guitar track from EH720 through Traynor head/2x12 Celestion cab, and finally lead guitar through massively overdriven Garnet 1x12 Champ circuit amp and I found myself in this incredible sonic nirvana of volume, something I hardly ever experience anymore.

So the concept is one - appropriate - amp per looper, instead of conflicting tones coming out of the same speaker. It sounded like a band.

The EH looper has mullti loop saving ability, very easy to change keys/mood.

I found the solo-ing in B brought out my inner Gilmour, channeling Comfortably Numb seemed to come naturally.

Today's endeavors include pulling a neck, taming some fret sprout and restringing with GHS Cryo .009's. These can really help a guitar get over string stiffness, but at this point I've decided to keep this guitar and can't handle the razor wire fret ends anymore.

Frank's rules!

Decades age we received one of those sampler packs with different hot sauces. My son and I went through them and discussed the taste (and eventually finished all of the bottles with a month or two of opening them). I learned three things. First, you have to stay through the burn. Second, if you stay through the burn you can usually identify which peppers are used in a sauce. Finally, red or cayenne pepper based sauces are pretty mundane and often have nothing to offer after the burn. I'll gladly use Franks or Texas Pete or Tabasco in their basic form if nothing else is available but if I want taste and not just burn none of them are my first choice.

(Since an aging digestive tract is less tolerant of peppers than it once was I don't tend to have a preferred brand name now. I just go into an ethnic food store or the ethnic section of an anglo store, read the labels and pick a sauce that has a pepper I remember what it tastes like).

I use tobacco at least once a day.

I went back to drip coffee. Our machine is absurdly big for the one coffee drinker in family.

as I made the coffee this morning, it really sucks. I wouldn’t give the coffee I brewed today to my worse enemy.

They all have their own flavor, definitely. We grow quite a few and they're all vastly different from one another, Japapenos, Concho Jalapenos, Honchos, Czech Black, Hungarian hot wax, Thai Dragons, Anaheims and more.

I crossed a Cascabella pepper with a Hungarian hot wax, I call it the Cascabella Lugosi.
