Just a random note about hot sauce, especially for Rick at Gasparilla Marina's Waterside Grill.
Aboard the boat we carry
CHOLULA as the standard sauce, augmented with a variety of
TABASCO products (green, chipotle, red) and a new favorite, Busha Brownie’s PUKKA Hot Pepper Sauce from
Jamaica.
Since being opened, the Jamaican sauce has aged nicely from a sweet/mild to hot/tasty sauce, and is highly recommended.
PAPA JOE’S is the place to get fresh oysters in Apalachicola, and they have a nice selection of hot sauces. While indulging in a dozen fresh oysters, I sampled 2 of their sauces, the 100% PAIN in a pint-sized Bourbon flask, and the Mad Dog 357 Collector’s Edition sauce in a traditional bottle. The 100% has a nice flavor to it, before incinerating your taste buds for a few minutes. Worth the pain, especially if you are stopped up and need some immediate relief.
The Mad Dog 357 Collector’s Edition sauce touts itself as the “World’s Hottest Sauce with 600,000 Scoville units of heat.” Guess what? It’s hotter than Dave’s (Habanero) Insanity Sauce by a wide margin, and by far the hottest sauce I’ve ever tasted… not recommended for the postoperative, or anyone who wants to actually taste their oysters. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn the CIA uses this stuff to interrogate, it’s brutal.
Apparently the original Mad Dog at 357,000 Scoville units wasn’t hot enough, so they distilled it until it was almost twice as hot. Nice work! A smarter guy would realize that “Collector’s Edition” means you put in on the shelf and admire it, instead of actually ingesting the stuff. Check it out at http://maddoghotsauce.net/
Hi guys; (generic of course! :))
ReplyDeleteSounds like things are going well for you. Same old same old up here on the Kenai. The volcano is still rumbling; however, OUR tendencies to get bored quickly have put it much further back in the newspaper! It can be followed by going to google, and typing in: "Alaska Volcano Oservitory". The volcano is Mt. Redoubt. "Illiamna" and the "Spur" are immediately south and north respectively, if you wish to check up on her neighbors! :) The "webicorder" will show earthquake like activity, and the home page will give a written synopsis.
The weather has been cool lately; sort of a spring pattern. 5 to 10 below at night and 10 to 20 above during the day. Northern lights have been pretty scarce. The Iron Dog is being raced at the moment! can't tell you who is winning though..
Will hold one up to you, and smooth sailing, this eve at dinner!(toast with a clink) :)
I enjoy the blog and the pic's are great.

Hi guys; (generic of course)
ReplyDeleteNot much new here. The volcano is still rumbling but is losing our interest quickly! It can be watched on line by going to Google and typing in: Alaska Volcano Observitory.
The days are getting longer here on the Kenai. The sky is showing light in the Southeast now around 8:30am and holding it till around 7:00pm.
Northern lights are pretty scarce lately; seems unusual!
Bonnie, or Morgan; let me know if you get a blog response from the address I tried first. (this is my second attempt) It will help in my learning how to communicate with you.
We (Amy and I) will hold one up for you this eve at dinner with a wish for: Good wind, New friends and Great times.
