The Old Man invited me over to learn the secret recipe for his hot sauce. (Well, actually the mama-in-law did because while he and I can communicate just fine in person, phone calls are nearly impossible.) So now I have detailed notes ("add 3 ladlefuls of oil") about how to make the prized hot sauce.
But it is a secret, so all I can share with you folks is that it looks a lot like Sloppy Joe's filling when you're cooking it.
Also, public service announcement: it is most definitely not vegetarian. Not one, but four of the 10 ingredients. At around 40% meat, no wonder this stuff is so tasty.
To which I say: Vegetarian friends of mine, well...you made a bad choice.
What I can tell you about is how I got to go on two trips to Home Depot last night. And not because Man and I are totally focused and/or obsessed with home repair and such (I neither confirm nor deny this).
In reality, I first had to drive the Old Man over:
Those are bendy toilet pipe-hoses. Theirs started leaking and, somewhat surprisingly, he did not have a spare in the basement. Yes, he did check before we left.
Then Man and I had to go to Home Depot (and Lowe's).
We didn't actually come for paint. We came for these fun styrofoam tube insulation tubes for hot water pipes. But, I was a little busy attacking my husband with 8 foot long styrofoam tubes and forgot to take a picture of what we actually bought.
And in completely unrelated news, irascible is the word of the week. It occurred to me this morning that it is pretty much the only true adjective for heart burn. Also, it makes me happy that I correctly remembered this word since the Otter keeps noming my vocabulary. ('Ladleful' was a close second despite the fact that the Otter has apparently nommed this out of Google's vocabulary.)
