Hicks of Sandy Lake, PA. Unlike some sauces of this ilk it is not only quite hot, but it has a good taste. lusy! My darling lusy! Oh, welcome back, welcome back! HUG! KISS!!! You can't think how delighted I am to see you again, my lovely, loving lusy! [throwing my arms around you e] Being your slave what should I do but tend Upon the hours, and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend; Nor services to do, till you require. Nor dare I chide the world without end hour, Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you, Nor think the bitterness of absence sour, When you have bid your servant once adieu; Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought Save, where you are, how happy you make those. So true a fool is love, that in your will, Though you do anything, he thinks no ill.

Thank you, Max, for your welcome. It's good to be back. And Jackie ... gosh, what can I say?! A lovely thought, my dear, and I do believe I have been out-sonneted! Catch up with you again soon. lusy Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Brain Freeze #68842 05/11/2002 2:01 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky I do believe I have been out-sonneted!

Indeed! My friend Roshan, on his last visit here, brought me a bottle of an Indian orange hot sauce. I took a teeny-tiny bit and about blew the top of my head off. I couldn't believe it when I saw him swallow a teaspoonful with hardly a blink! I reciprocated by introducing him to fresh horseradish, a New England brand called "MR." I ate a tablespoonful on a small piece of bread and while it did clear my head it was no big deal. However, when Roshan had a tiny bit on a piece of bread he had the same reaction to horseradish that I had to his orange hot sauce! Chacun a son gout or whatever!
