All of this discussion of hot sauce combined with my love of Caribbean cooking led me to order a 3 pack of Jamaica Hell Fire. I developed a taste for it when I was living in Miami and haven't been able to find it since.

It comes in 4 strengths and since it's been a minute I'm starting with the 2 in 1 the highest is 4 in 1.

Since really learning how to cook I really learned how to cook with hot sauce/hot peppers. If used in the right amount it will give a little kick and enhance the flavors what you're cooking with. Too much it becomes a dominant flavor that over powers the more subtle aspects of the food.

Ironically I'm a smoker and that's supposed to dull your sense of taste a little.

I've got the first peppers out of the garden. I made some refrigerator pickles with some fresh jalapenos and cayennes. Then, my wife and I almost died when we ate some Thai chilies straight off of the vine. Our tomatoes are going completely nuts. It's been a good year for our garden.

Put a new roof on my house 20 years ago. We live in a region that gets a lot of hard rain and wind during hurricane season and an occasional foot or so of snow. Ten years ago I patched the first leak since the 1999 replacement. Patched about 3-4 more over the past 5 years, then four in the past 6 months. I had hoped to get 30 years out of the last roof. Kids would be through college by then, with oldest finishing high school 2020. Alas, had to bite the bullet and hire a roofer. Super quick and relatively painless. Found the guy who works with the contractor who did our remodel/addition 5 years go. Did the work for less than we paid for the same job 20 years ago.

Considered metal until 2 different estimates came in at 4 times the price of the most expensive shingles.. Went with the best shingles..

Bring on the rain LOL!

I think I got a warning from the mafia:

This song perfectly encapulates the population of this thread:

RevJ plays bass, NoSwitch is a ginger*, DrFeelgood is Australian, Pathtek4 is constantly on smoko*, I love bad music, and Shorty's Kid wears yellow DHL jerseys frequently*

*I have no verification for any of the footnoted facts

Hahaha i discovered that song only a few months ago, so weird. Its the song of my people

[NoSwitch]

Is there a version with subtitles? My Australian isn't that good.

One, two, three, four
So let me set the scene
It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees
The Queensland harsh summer heat
Had me sweating buckets up and down my street
It was there I spotted the bloke
Perched atop of his milk crate throne
He eyed me off as I approached
Then he said
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
So it's Tuesday morning
And my Centrelink hasn't come through
So I pick up the phone because I've got some abusing to do
But all I get is elevator music
Waiting on the line
On hold all the time
All I get is elevator music
Waiting on the line
'Til I get a reply
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
Ah, ah what time is it?
Is it Smoko?
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I made my first batch of Gumbo:

Looks tasty. I got some old school New Orleans peeps but have yet to connect for some legit bayou soul food down that way.

I just got a cool Tribal Gear/Dog Town collab t-shirt.

Nice shirt, Rev!

[Rev J]

Thanks. I'm a big fan of the Tribal stuff. It appeals to my Watino (wannabe Latino) side.
