Now, I like spicy. Very spicy. And having (I believed!) a few extra dollars in the bank I bought a few hot sauces (on sale) on the last grocery trip.
To preface this, I was at a local restaurant a few weeks ago and they had a Quatro of spicy hot sauces, mild to hot, none of which would garner your attention. But then, suddenly, mysteriously, they produced a bottle of "What the Frick!!!" or some such nonsense, and, yeah, I breathed while biting and was fully pepper sprayed and gasping for breath.
So, maybe not at that level but time to turn it up a notch.
Hot Sauce #1: Aji - Smokin Habanero: This would be fine as an overpriced/underportioned salsa. Chunky, very spicy, but not too incredibly hot. Around $10 a bottle.
Hot Sauce #2: Nando's Peri-Peri Hot Sauce: Tasty as well, with a strong citrus flavour. I liked, but...
Hot Sauce #3: Melinda's "Ghost Pepper" hot sauce: Spicy. Not crazy. Just spicy.
Now, to make sure I remember and try a few new ones next trip to the grocery store....

Beautiful pottery, made by the Natives along the Mimbres River in Southern Arizona and New Mexico.
Stylistic, modern, absolutely stunning.

While I'm not a fan of "representational" art, and find the subject matter (out here) overdone, I do admire her use of color and shapes. Much like what everyone else out here paints, only better. Currently showing at the Nelson Public Library.

The under-rated female abstract/surrealist that preceded Jackson Pollock.
I love the abstractions and color harmonies.
