Peder and I are constantly reaching for hot sauce! We seem to be the exception to rule in this case. Really odd.

  My husband uses Frank’s Red Hot 🙂 on just about everything! 🙂 Me — I like the more subtle tastes: rosemary, chives, sage, nutmeg, etc.

I hear you! My husband, on the other hand, adds ghost peppers to whatever he can.

  Hmmm I do understand that. My husband orders a side of jalapena peppers whenever we eat out at a Mexican restaurant!

Oh, this just made me smile! and the picture is a great addition. I must admit, that with each passing year I like my Cajun Power Sauce more and more… I’m with you on the rule breaking!
