OK, what’s this about? Who is the cook and why should I know him?

A kitchen scale Tabasco factory.

I’ve always hated the smell of vinegar.

That is an interesting look you gave Tank in the first panel there, Mr. Hinds!

Best to stew your peppers in vinegar on the grill outside, – preferably, with the breeze blowing towards the neighbor you can’t stand.

Not near as bad as grinding fresh horseradish.

I’m trying to imagine what that would taste like. Yeow.

Depending on the pepper, the volume and the concentration, the fumes can be unhealthy. When I’ve experimented with chili paste blends for my Texas Red, I’ve had a few instances where things got uncomfortable. Made for some good chili, though. ;)

I have to admit my wife’s cooking has seriously improved. ……Last night I had the best slice of soup she’s ever cooked.
