I’ll counter that Franks or Crystals is crap for general consumption compared to Tapatio or Cholula, unless you’re just looking for color tinted acidity.  Read more

Love me some spice, but it has to have flavor. In my younger days, sure I would go nuts with my roommate over who could handle the higher heat levels (this was when habaneros were still the hottest pepper widely available) regardless of flavor. Those were also the days when the hottest sauces were made with extracts… Read more

“There are studies that show the men who engage with hot sauce do so primarily for the recognition and praise of being able to ‘handle their heat,’” Read more

I’m a big hot sauce fan, but for the flavor first, then heat. I’ve found myself enjoying the tabasco scorpion pepper extra hot sauce, but I literally only need a few drops on a plate of food. It brings a lot of heat, but has a nice balanced flavor to go with it. Read more

I’ve never got into the whole extreme hot sauce craze. Once I moved to Texas, realized that hot sauce/salsa was a much bigger deal so I have now been corrupted into eating a lot more hot sauce than I used to (eggs or breakfast hash without hot sauce just doesn’t seem right anymore!), but all those crazy extreme ones?… Read more

Huge hot sauce fan my self but never got the ol outhouse two step or mud butt from it.  I HAVE however got the ol ring of fire where your asshole is set on fire the next day after shall we say expelling the spicy shit form the day before.  Now the ring of fire SUCKS, like you want to sit on an ice cream cone of bend… Read more

“30 cents per gallon? Five beverage purchases? Linked accounts? I am draping red string across my home office trying to figure this one out. On one hand, I’d love to save 30 cents per gallon to fuel up my sweet, sweet Honda Fit. On the other, are the savings really that meaningful when it takes me five coffee… Read more

My only input into this is that I hate businesses that sell day old cookies or more. An employee at a local business tried to argue with me that their cookies made 5 days before were fine and good for 7 days. To note, I have purchased their cookies several times and knew that ranged a lot in freshness.  Read more

I can put away 2 Crumbl’s in 1 sitting.  Oops. Read more

Their pineapple whip cookie is heaven.

I do agree their cookies are massive, but I can make them last 3 or 4 days so i get my money’s worth Read more

I haven’t had a Crumbl cookie yet, but I’ve heard they freeze well, since they’re too damn big to eat a whole one in one sitting. Read more

I have some first generation MREs from a very long time ago and they are the varieties that weren’t palatable when new.

You know the people who really need a go bag? Parents of trans children who live in republican controled states. Because they are in the quietly pack up your life and slip out under cover of darkness phase of the march towards Fascism. The grab your bags and run for your lives is the next one.

I keep an emergency kit with a week’s food rations, and a spreadsheet with expiration dates so I know when to rotate things. (I group things bi-monthly so I’m not looking at the dang thing all the time.) Consider adding some dedicated breakfast-type foods such as oatmeal to your kit, along with higher-test caffeine… Read more
