Lol, that is too funny. After posting last night I actually found a spare bottle of Cholula in a different cabinet. Score!

It’s kind of funny…my son actually started a Cholulua bottle collection (something about the wooden caps I guess).

Your right about Dave’s though…it’s not your everyday “put it on everything” sauce. I only break it out for special occasions. Nothing like sweating through dinner though!

Scary…Cholulua is one that I almost always have on hand as it has a really nice flavor but isn’t overpowering. Although I am currently out of it and have it on the shopping list.

In my opinion, my only complaint with sauces like Dave’s Insanity is they are usually just about the heat and lack any real flavor. I’d rather have a more powerful flavor with a little less heat than something that just tries to pack as much heat as possible while sacrificing flavor.

I have been kind of hooked on Cholula Hot Sauce as of late. Not too crazy but adds a nice amount of heat. I have also recently been addicted to putting crushed red pepper on just about everything. My wife got me Dave’s Insanity a while back…now were talking

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the comment!

Do you have a favorite sauce? I like to experiment with new sauces and try all different sorts of flavors and heat levels.

Thanks for the good word…you also have a great thing going on over here. The thing I like best is that you talk about normal everyday topics that many people can connect with. It’s like water cooler talk that actually makes you think.

As I read through this post again I caught #5. I am the same way…I will add hot sauce to just about anything. My wife and kids think I’m crazy…but it’s almost addictive for me.

Lol, that would be pretty funny. My Mom tells a story that when we lived in that apartment complex, there was a girl a little older than me that had jumped on me one day at the playground. To this day I kid my wife that she was that girl since we did both live there and she was a little older than me, lol.

The funny thing is that for all we know, it could actually be true. Hmm, maybe I should start writing a script!

I keep getting tagged for this meme and one day I will get around to completing it. In the meantime, I love reading the ones other people do.

“My wife and I lived in the same apartment complex as infants but did not know each other.”

That is insane romantic and if you ever have the time, you could probably pitch an awesome screenplay hinging off that story.
