I like a good hot sauce and I like chili pepper flakes on many dishes I eat. I don't mind feeling it on the way in, but I don't like feeling it on the way out lol

Once I get over the heat rating of Scotch Bonnets (max 350 scoville) compared to 2.2mil for Carolina Reapers they're too hot for me.

Yep, it gets you in the end. He also bought a big container of crushed red pepper flakes to sprinkle on stuff. I cannot imagine he will finish it, but who knows.

That hot sauce looks interesting, but I'm not a hot pepper kind of person. I do occasionally use pepper flakes sparingly in some dishes but am not a hot sauce person.

I sprinkle Tabasco on lot of different food. Someone was raving about Sumo citrus, or some kind of orange variation so I had to try it. It's pretty good. Wegmans sells them for a brief time in December.
These peel off like oranges but tastes a bit like mandarins, very juicy and sweet.

Mike, I usually make bean soup with great northern beans. However, I did not have any and I did not want to go to the store because it was too cold out.

I had some navy beans, so I used those instead, finding a recipe on the internet. I had never used this recipe before, but it turned out pretty good.

I used the ham bone from our Christmas dinner. The recipe had lots of onion, some parsley, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, a little bit of nutmeg, bay leaves, carrots, celery, and some mashed potato flakes as a thickener.

I think it turned out pretty good.

this is very good. Got the recipe from a friend. He got from Cowboy Kent Rollins whoever that is. Nice play on bean soup.

SIL gave me this sweet sipping rum from Guatemala. The label implies it is aged 23 years but the box says at least 6 years. Like everything in today’s world there is a class action suit claiming it is misleading. It’s distilled from sugar cane in ex-bourbon barrels using the solera method and the wrap at the bottom is woven straw individually made by Mayan women from three villages – how’s that for marketing hype! I guess that helps justify the nearly $50 bottle price tag. It was good but the funny part is it really did not taste like rum to me. But it was good.
