Hot Sauce Heaven or is it Hell You decide

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 coloring 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 alchoices added more before the original

was completely used up.Therefore; there is alchoices a little bit of Dad

And his chili spices in that can.

Woodworking is fun
