Preliminary Taste Tests...

• Nerve Agents:
Initial flavor- kind of tart, but quickly followed by reasonable heat. Maintains tangy flavor in mouth though. Texture- Thin paste.

• Municipal Waste:
Initial flavor- Artichoke heavy. A little sweet, but that’s more of an afterthought. Milder but still warm. Texture- Clumps of artichokes in sauce.

• Battle Master:
Mild, but a little burn on the lips. Good taste that reminded me of Tapatio. Texture- very runny.

• BloodQuest:
Oh man. Initial taste is almost like spaghetti sauce, but it quickly turns up the temperature. Maybe too hot for typical use. Definitely spike some salsa with this for a pleasant surprise. Or use in cheesy dish. Flavor is great though.

So I started making hot sauce

Yesterday I blended my first batch of hot sauce. Here is the recipe I used for the base, but I'll be adding different variables in smaller samples to try and tweek the flavor:hotness ratios!

Hot Sauce Base:
2 cups White Vinegar
3 Yellow Chili Peppers
5 Serrano Peppers
4 Habanero Peppers
4 cloves of Garlic
1/2 Tsp. Cumin
1/2 Tsp. Oregano
1/2 Tsp. Basil
1/2 Tsp. Black Pepper

All ingredients were then blended ferociously into a soupy substance, brought to a boil, and then simmered for 15 minutes. I immediately put the sauce into the refrigerator and am now trying some different flavors out.

More to come!

It's a gameface quote, and you can probably put names and faces to it in your own life. It always gets me...

Ashton's recipe for something that probably already has a name:

Heat up a skillet with some olive oil
add 1 sliced squash, 1 sliced zuchini(or whatever its called)
dice a few cloves of garlic, unless you are a vampire.
throw em in
dice 1 roma tomato(probably works w any tomato though) and throw it in after gords have been chillen for a hot second
wisk two eggs(assuming that means the same as beat) and dump it in.
Then, as the eggs are coming to an omlet like consistancy, dolop on a couple spoons of salsa (use hot unless you are a total wuss).
let things mix up a bit and turn the heat off when its ready(i trust your judgement).
salt and pepper to taste.

cheese would probably be good on this, but i didn't add any this time.
fresh green beans might fit in well too. fuck it

enjoy your evening on a patio or porch if you got one. dream about it otherwise.

pairs well with crappy beer, or probably a good lager.
