A horrible way to blogger.


i have been reviewing past posts, and my writing is a bit thin. i end up spewing out the point i try to make on the subject i picked, and the rest is just filler.
i can barely breathe right now due to a hot sauce misjudgment.
i made a huge cheese quesedilla and quartered the damn thing. on each quarter i splashed a different hot sauce, going from mild to REALLY FUCKING HOT.
here's the breakdown:
Q1: sylvia's xxxtra hot sauce.
Q2: tabasco brand habanero sauce.
Q3: jamaican choice xxx hell hot pepper sauce.
Q4: dave's insanity ghost pepper sauce.
i put waaaay too much of the Q4 sauce on. i thought the lactose in the sour cream i spackled on the quesadilla's top would dumb down Q4's heat, but i'm sniffling, warm and slightly confused as i write.
nothing really beats the rush of spicy foods, nothing.
i have been a fan of hot sauces for some time. the feeling of endorphin release is second to none.
i have to say though, that good old tabasco sauce was just right until the company made the habanero sauce. i could probably drink an entire bottle of regular tabasco sauce and not even flinch.
i wasn't even aware of the ghost pepper until i saw some food program about it. i had to try it out and feel the burn. it's nothing you want to mess with at all. and to have a bottle of dave's insanity ghost pepper sauce makes it even worse. that company is run by a bunch of diabolical lunatics hell bent on ruining taste buds, gi tracts and any wood stained furniture.
a bunch of years ago, we had a bottle of dave's insanity sauce that fell out of the fridge and spilled on our not so clean kitchen floor. the sauce cleaned up the spot to a nice shine as i wiped it up.
that stuff has ruined meals through too much abuse.
i'm glad of hot sauces. not so much of the dare, but that they add that extra spice-or way too much of it-to foods. i eat almost all of my meals with some sort of hot sauce or another. i have even put cayenne pepper on iced cream before, for a kick.
sometimes there really isn't enough of a good thing. you have to push the limits of your endurance, and trying the hottest pepper on earth (the ghost pepper) was a safe yet daring exercise i will enjoy again and again.
if anyone knows of a hotter pepper out there let me know.

Jeremy: The Trinidad Scorpion is hotter. I have a bunch of dried ones. Contact me! You should try it! I also have a Trinidad Scorpion puree which is just the pepper crushed and mixed with vinegar. I have a slew of different ghost pepper sauces too. And dried ghost peppers, which to me seem hotter than even the sauces.
