New Best Friend,Tabasco

I had a Dr’s appt. this morning so I’m home tonight and thought I would do another post. No one is paying me for this but just wanted to let every one know about our new best friend. We got a free sample of this and thought it was good so we bough a bottle. As those who read my blog know we like spicy and hot stuff. My wife has ruined me. She can eat something hot and say its not and when I dive in I get burned. However, over the years my taste buds have become immune or adjusted to the heat. I still cannot eat as much as she can but it’s much better than when we were first married. This is hot but it is great over a hamburger and hot dog

Radish Spread

As my wife and I were walking threw the grocery store she is looking at things and how they would look as a painting. This is what happened to the radishes. I had no idea on what to do with them other than eat in a salad but I found this recipe on the Zaar. We were going to my jam session and this is what I brought.

Two Potato Moussaka

Well we survived the hurricane but now we are soaking wet. We have had a little over 7 inches since Monday. The wife and I did go out to eat at the Thai House for our anniversary. I must say we were a little disappointed as we both got something different. Mine was supposed to be mild and hers hot. They tasted the same and no way near hot or we have burnt out taste buds. The dish we cooked back in Jan. Thai Shrimp Soup was a lot tastier, especially for the price.

This is a dish we fixed that we thought was pretty good and makes a good bit so if you have more than 4 people to feed. Again thanks to Recipe Zaar.
