The Hot Thai Green is awesome on fish and rice(and wings, of course). Thai food is probably my favorite cuisine now so I'm looking forward to that one. Might actually save me a lot of time cooking certain things because the thing about Thai food is there there are sometimes a lot of ingredients in small amounts, including a lot of finely chopped (and sometimes not easy to procure) herbs and vegetables. Copy that on the other two. Really curious about the Pirate's Lantern. The Hell Fire seems like it might be a little more familiar to me based on other hot sauces I've tried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to get real nerdy about this stuff. Like putting together a weekly menu or contemplating what sauce pairs well which food. I’m not sure if I’ll be the type of person to bring it to a restaurant or a get together. I’ve already got another cart full of sauce ready to be ordered when I get paid again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very creative, especially with sweet hot sauces. I need to branch out more and try Mexican hot sauces on Thai food and Thai hot sauces on pizza, etc. I'm not a BYOHS person but I do love keeping one or two in my desk drawer in the office. My current jam is towards the top of my heat comfort level but has really nice habanero flavor to match: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened the FoodMax in 1987 when I worked for Bruno's. It was the first store I was store manager of. Great store and we did a good amount of student business even though we were as far away as we were. Used to see Bo there from time to time. John Zenor is an AP sports journalist and he was one of the clerk's at the store when I was there. When Super Foods closed we hired some good people from there. I managed it for 4 years before I moved back to Bham. I missed that store though. I guess because I put so much blood and sweat into it, but no tears. It was all good. Ha! I worked at the Discount Foods place behind the mall. We all moved to FoodMax when it opened. I must have worked with you! I was a cashier and worked in the office.

Tears falling down my face—it burns so good. A little drizzle of Hot Thai with a drop of Garlic Reaper sent me to the moon.

Our waterways have remained open so there has probably been an increase in boat traffic. How has the transition been for you? My wife is a teacher at a parochial school and boy did this catch them off guard. That said, they have done a remarkable job shifting gears. Transition pretty good...our young system was built on technology...school system able to provide for inequities, which was our prime concern. Miss the hugs, the collective AHA moments, the celebrations (doing Mothers' Day Spa virtually tomorrow...best we can do), the eye to eye contact, and the spontaneous, humorous moments. Miss knowing they're safe and okay. DO NOT miss the 45 minute one-way commute or the "90% female environment." REALLLY don't miss the regimented schedule, the meltdowns (2 sweet high-functioning Autistics...one, bless her, but she's come so far), and the micromanagement that rears from time to time. 🤣🤣🤣 It's really been good in a big pic sense. I am very, very fortunate...super-blessed. Our nearby lakes have been an oasis for many. We're tackling backyard projects to make one here. 🤗😁 What age does she teach? The one thing I'll always envy about teaching in a parochial school is being able to comfort and do life from a faith perspective without worrying about fetters. When is her "last day"? Ours was to be June 2 due to late construction start...then May 29...now, May 22, "for all practical purposes"--admin. No one is complaining. 🤫😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,425 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I am not familiar with Banksy, who may or may not be, more than one person. Street graffiti can sometimes be amazing to look at. This should be a billboard across the US. Thank you will never be enough. Thank you to all on here who may see this: @passthebiscuits, @autigeremt @DAG, @McLoofus and others that I can't recall by name. IMO this medical personnel action figure should come with interchangeable outfits for law enforcement, EMTs, essential retail worker, firemen, food delivery persons and a COVID 19 patient who is bravely fighting for their life while contributing to the research needed for a vaccine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I don't belong in the conversation with those other folks but it has been difficult in some ways coming into the office- which shares a campus with the region's largest hospital and is surrounded by various medical practices- every day since this all started so, genuinely, thank you.

AUDub 11,148 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 So, Nugget is still kicking and is actually having a slight bounce back. I took to hand watering and feeding him fruit with almond butter just to get him some nutrients in him and it seems to be helping a lot. Actually getting up and moving around a bit. He doesn't seem to be suffering otherwise I'd be hauling him to the vet for the big sleep, and feeding him diligently has helped a lot. Maybe he's got a few weeks left in the tank with a softer diet. Going to get him some Ensure at the store today and see how he likes that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
