Well, the 7th (Almost) Midwest Hot Luck has gone down in history as another
grand event! We met today at the home of Big Tom and Cindy Price, who were
gracious and generous hosts. Jim Campbell had sent a delicious selection of
his products (speaking of generous people) and they were enjoyed by one and
all! The Red Savina Garlic Sauce was a special hit, being put on pieces of
grilled steak and causing major lip smacking!! We were pleased to see Scott
and Chery Parkhurst from KCK, Renee Watson and friend, Diane, from
Minneapolis, and two friends of Tom and Cindy who stopped by for a brief
visit to see what all the hotluck excitement was about. That group plus the
Prices, Gregg and I ate our way through a very interesting spread. It was a
great day with a small but enthusiastic group of people eating lots and lots
of great food. Scott KCK had the great idea of putting a toothpick into a
bottle of Beyond Insanity sauce, then sticking the pick into an innocent
barbequed meatball. Sure heated things up quickly! There was also a tasty
selection of moderate food that the fire eaters doused with hot sauces but
the rest of us enjoyed as is. Tom and Cindy sent us all home with quart
jars of homemade salsa and T-shirts with the famous grinning chile pepper
that graces the ID cards Tom is famous for making.
All in all, it was a beautiful fall afternoon in the Midwest and the company
of good people with similar tastes puts the icing on the chocolate-cherry,
hab cake! Next year, it's Minnesota's turn to host...can't wait!

(I did enjoy a hot meatball and some potato chips that were so hot it's a
wonder the bag didn't melt!)
