Hail to the Chile Folk!

Just tried a new hot sauce on an open face tomato, onion and egg sandwich
that was pretty good.  Kiss Fire--The Ultimate XXX Hot Sauce.  Good flavor
and heat, a fair hint of garlic. Not sweet.  Label sez Scotch Bonnets,
Onions, Vinegar, Garlic, Sea Salt, Mustard and Spices.  A friend gave it to
us so don't know where it's from.  Made by Fletcher Grant's, FL.  Good
stuff, thick.

Had to use it while waiting for a new order of some Mild to Wild Fiery Hot
Habanero to arrive.  Ran out the other day when a friend of ours, Pat,
finished it off--she's discovered she a ChileHead.  Have to get her on the
list.  A few weeks ago we were at the King's River in Central Calif doing
some whitewater kayaking. One evening we cooked up a feast--Pat's vegetarian
so lot's of veggies with a spicy rub were on the menu.  And had a bottle of
FH Hab sauce on the table.  Now Pat, in fact everyone there, knows we cook
hot--we have to reassure some they can eat the food, and we do cook special
for them--cook down, you might say.  ;-)  Anyway, after my wife Mary pours
on some Hab sauce Pat goes for it--we both warn her it's hot!  She pours it,
lots, starts to eat, and whoa!  That's Hot!  She keeps eating but start to
whine. She's in pain--she'd been warned, but nevertheless I feel bad.  Then
she grabs the bottle again and pours on some more. I couldn't believe it!
Cracked me up.

At any rate she was over the other day for bbq and we finished the stuff
off.  I ordered more from Brer Jim, but it's not here yet.  But Kiss Fire
made up for it.

Satisfied customer--I'd buy stock in Mild to Wild if I could. They're outta
stock.  Smoked Savina, that is.  ;-)

Hot regards,

Riley
