@ms.sss what's your favorite hot sauce?

Oh that's a tough one. I do love me some Franks Red Hot Buffalo sauce. But I also like wasabi/horseradish-based hot sauces. And chili oils! And Korean pepper pastes! I don't think I can just choose one...

I have to take it easy now though, as it no longer sits well with me , which makes me really sad.

I totally miss extra-extra-spicy vodka ceasar's with extra celery salt on the rim (I used to ask them to just leave the Tabasco sauce bottle with me, LOL)

What about you?

Mmm all of these sound delish [emoji39] too difficult to choose my favorite lol usually I get whatever looks good at the grocery store. I also like adding fresh hot peppers to salads and meats. I guess I'm lucky I can still eat them!
The only thing I cant tolerate since surgery is carbonated beverages, it gives me severe pains and I throw it up.
I hate plain Water, so really had to work hard to get used to other drinks. Now I add lemon juice, cayenne pepper (lol another favorite spice), and some sweetner to water. I can only drink if it's very cold or hot ( not room temp)

My heat tolerance went way down after surgery too. I'm a wimp now. And I used to cook with habanero, thai chilies, jalapenos, serranos, wasabi, horseradish, Frank's etc.

Speaking of learning something new, @chayarg,you have inspired my latest fave drink!

I tried the cayenne in cold Water yesterday --> it didn't mix in very well and I accidentally drank some clumpy fire bombs of powder that I needed to down some milk to put out.

Then an hour or so later (I needed to recover!) I put some in hot water, it was ok, but nothing I would be interested in re-creating.

Then this morning, I was having my coffee w/ stevia in it and thought hey, this could use some kick, and voila! My new fave drink was born.

Add a squeeze of lemon to that, and a bag each of green tea and Earl Grey + a shot of ACV and you have MY favorite morning drink.

Fear unsubstantiated! It was like I never stopped. I forgot how good it feels after a run. I can already feel that I am going to be hungry today though...
