That little stirrer made more difference in my attitude toward testing and the repeatability of my results than any other product I have purchased. It seems almost silly but, for me, it was a game changer.

My lunch didn't make it until lunch time... I got hungry and ate it, it was very good with this hot sauce...

Cholula is my favorite hot sauce but I've never tried the Chipotle flavor. I just use the original. I'll have to give it a try.

There are no Wynn Dixies here anymore and Publix is about 40 minutes away. I have to order the Chipotle on Amazon because none of the stores here have it.

That looks very good. What is the soup called?
Click to expand...
Hot and sour, probably my favorite soup. I rate Chinese restaurants by their hot and sour soup and not their main courses.

Nice, I'd get the roller rocking, skimmer back and drop some chaeto in the fuge. Do you have a fuge light?
