7.1m is ridiculous and completely unnecessary. 

100% true...it's obnoxious & can't have ANY flavor at that point
i had a mishap w/ dave's insanity sauce once.
never had it b4 & put @ teaspoon on the side of the plate....ate most of it w/ my 1st forkful of stuffed peppers....
i was on the floor, in the fetal position,stripped down to my long underwear w/in 5 minutes. the wife had to bring me a glass of milk & a slice of white bread....
i hate annoyingly/unnecessarily hot sauces...
(btw, a buddy took the barely used bottle on an ice-fishing, guy weekend....he said they were eating it on crackers, trying to one-up the next guy....they finished the bottle....how's the rectum doing???)

That'll learn ya.

Yeah, flavor.  There is really none.  Its too diluted by the time you bring it down to a tolerable level, even if you like extreme heat.  Heat is not flavor. 

If you want flavor, you've gotta make the food flavorful in whatever way you want without the stuff, then add the stuff to bring the heat.  You can't rely on the stuff to bring the flavor at all.  I usually use some kind of green bell pepper to bring a recognizable taste to it.  You can usually taste that around the heat.  It kinda ties the theme together. 

Sometimes I'll go old school and use real habaneros and forgo the bottled heat.  But that fucks up the deal for the women-folk and kids.  Its usually better for everyone to make the pot nice, and then corrupt your own bowl from daddy's bottle of pain.

some of the hot sauces i love, are the ones that have an ok level of heat, mixed w/ mango or some such fruit-shit = hot & sweet (''fifi's nasty little secret'' was a good one, but i don see it no more)

and, spot-on w/ the heat level, when cooking for multitudes...i got yelled at for chili only I would eat....gots ta add your own alarm-levels...

I gave up eating pasta with meat sauce.

Now I eat meat sauce with pasta under it.

I like noodles, they're arite.

But a few years ago, I gave up noodle/sauce conformity.  No longer will I subscribe to the appropriate noodle/sauce ratio.  Because I love sauce.  There, I said it!  Fuck the traditional pasta dinner, with a generous layer of sauce o'er top, and a polite sprinkle of grated cheese.  I will not be bound by those chains, and your ill-conceived notions of what constitutes a proper portion. 

How can it be, I ask you, that chili - in all its splendor and glory - is meat and sauce, with beans mixed in?  And yet the same dish a mere continent away is reversed to pasta with sauce as flavor?  BULLSHIT!!

Treat the pasta as chili treats the beans, and you will see life in a whole new light.

Best steaks of the summer, on the grill. 

I got three excellent Delmonico cuts, one inch thick.  Hammered 'em a little.  No marinade, but a little steak seasoning shit, sprinkle sprinkle. 

Then, some potatoes sliced into the tinfoil packet, onion pepper salt butter butter oregano parsley butter oil salt onion butter pepper and butter.  Burned 'em, exactly perfect. 

Corn on the cob, obvious.  Its fuckin summer. 

Man, those steaks were amazing.  I hooked up the old white-haired nigga rare, perfect.  Medium-well for everyone else.

Leftover pizza from last night.  Not great, but I haven't felt like cooking.

I made an exquisite meat sauce for pasta tonight, with meatballs.  Its heavy on green peppers blended smooth to give a green gardeny flavor. 

I'm gonna serve it to my peeps tomorrow, with big hunks of Italian bread, a green salad, and broken angel hair pasta.
