I love hot and spicy . . . flavor and kick.
That’s why a few years ago I started collecting hot sauces.
At the moment I have 147 bottles on my shelf
and several
opened in the refrigerator.
Last week Connie, my wife, was painting the kitchen,
So I removed my collection from the shelf,
Washed the bottles and now I’m putting them back up.
When people enter our kitchen they know that the food served
here is going to be anything but bland.
Look at the labels.
There are names like, "Tears & Sweat",
"Sweet Death", "Tongue Torch", "Sir Fartalot",
"MoHotta MoBetta", "Texas Tears",
and
"Burnin' Love".
The graphics go from skull & crossbones to
sandy beaches and burning outhouses.
This is one of my shelves, they wrap around three walls of the kitchen.
There are bottles with warnings on the bottles
and some with
labels that dare you to try them.
It’s a
fun collection and a great conversation starter
for anyone that comes into our
home.
Now to tell you about this old coffee can . . .
This one is our favorite.
My Dad, like myself, loved to make chili
and this can is where he kept his chili spices.
We have used spices from this can,
but we have always
added more before the original
was completely used up.
Therefore; there is always a little bit of Dad
And his chili spices in that can.
To us, it’s a family heirloom
and one day will belong to our
daughter.
Add a little spice to your life,
Steve
