It's red pepper like Tabasco, but doesn't have the vinegar. I've started mixing it with other sauces as well to give them a kick - ketchup, bbq, etc. Even put some on the scrambled eggs this morning.pacatruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125048243775811714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-6693261305393322862007-12-19T19:50:00.000-05:002007-12-19T19:50:00.000-05:00Oh, Ello, I just love your posts!And I've never do...Oh, Ello, I just love your posts!<BR/><BR/>And I've never done a single embarrassing thing in all my life.<BR/><BR/>Really.<BR/><BR/>;)Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-11881018859716504322007-12-19T18:55:00.000-05:002007-12-19T18:55:00.000-05:00That sounds like a blast!

Just mentioning caterpillars should bring it to mind. :-)<BR/><BR/>And I love Tabasco... I love hot sauces period!

My husband sometimes even starts pouring it on before tasting -- a big mistake when I'm the cook, as I often don't tend to take the seeds out of fiery peppers.<BR/><BR/>And the thought DOES count, but that is not an excuse to give someone a used baby blanket with cat pee on it. For the thought to count, it has to be a GOOD thought. If she was pressed for cash, she could have given you an offer to babysit and a couple of bags of Pampers or something. <BR/><BR/>As for turning to the end of a book to find out the ending, I have lived in fear of people finding this out about me, and now I know someone else who does it! I can't bear not knowing whether someone I've fallen in love with is going to get whacked. On a few occasions, I've actually stopped reading the book when I knew it was going to happen. My husband is driven wild by this and I have to be careful not to let him catch me doing it. <BR/><BR/>As for embarrassing stories, I will never forget being asked to give an impromptu speech -- in Japanese -- at a friend's wedding in Tokyo, when both her brother and our boss failed to show up. I got stuck trying to say something I probably couldn't even have managed in English, and kept going around and around, desperately trying to finish the same sentence. Just remembering this makes me weak with shame. I happen to know that she's got this on tape, too, but bless her, she's never once referred to it.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-62294627258509911142007-12-19T16:19:00.000-05:002007-12-19T16:19:00.000-05:00#5 is hysterical!The only karoake I ever did was "...#5 is hysterical!<BR/>The only karoake I ever did was "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head." <BR/>I want to do more.

Actually, I have ...Oh, I've got one, I've got one! Actually, I have a baker's dozen at least, but this one will do.<BR/><BR/><B>Why I don't Drink and Drive</B><BR/><BR/>When I was nineteen or twenty (yes, underage... a little past the statute of limitations now, though) I had a rule about drinking and driving - I was afraid to get completely trashed and drive, so I would only have a beer if I was the designated... but we started hanging out at a bar only five blocks from my house and over time, one beer turned into many more... because it was such a short drive... yada, yada...<BR/><BR/>I left the bar one night with a bunch of friends who walked me to my car. I was completely sober, thank you very much. It was really really windy and we always parked on this tree lined side street - the trees were ginormous, too. So, I said my goodbyes, got into my little ragtop with the rubber band engine, and headed home. On the way, I stopped at a red light and there was a cop at the corner, just staring at my car. And I thought, hey, I'm completely fine, I stopped before the line, no problem.<BR/><BR/>The cop stayed there, through his green light, just staring at me, and when the light changed, I went through thinking, oh, he's pulling me over... but he didn't (he was probably laughing too hard) I went another block, made my turn and went around the alley way to park in my garage, like always...<BR/><BR/>but for some ungodly reason, my car would only go halfway into the garage and then it wouldn't budge. I backed up, tried again, nope, stopped at the exact same place... so I pulled all the way into the alley and got out of the car to look in the garage and see why it was I couldn't pull in... I'm looking all over my bare garage, as if there's some sort of invisible barrier preventing my entrance... nothing.<BR/><BR/>I walked back out to the alley and looked up at my car to realize there was a tree sticking out of the roof of my ragtop... not a branch mind you, a fucking tree. It had to be an overlarge branch that was swept off in the wind where I parked... but the base of it was on my gear shift, I don't even know how I put the stupid thing in gear, let alone drove it home without noticing, and it was at least a good five feet of tree coming out the roof of my car...<BR/><BR/>So there was little drunk girl, on the roof of her car at two in the morning, pulling out the shrubbery from hell, and falling on her ass about three times... The next morning I found a good six inch hole in my top (thank God for duct tape) and I have never had more than one drink if I'm driving since that day...<BR/><BR/>You think you're okay, but not so much... <BR/><BR/>Okay, there's a good embarrassment for you. And Merry Christmas to you!Merry Monteleonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435956005780500310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-6059762550455360212007-12-19T08:58:00.000-05:002007-12-19T08:58:00.000-05:00I'm with you on stories and movies.I'm with you on stories and movies.Bernitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264585685253812090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-34040229743084718222007-12-19T07:19:00.000-05:002007-12-19T07:19:00.000-05:00Ha!
