Saute with onions and peppers until slimy. Put in a pyrex dish, cover with Parmesan and bake.

If the area ever has a good shake like the New Madrid of the early 1800s all those ‘islands’ will liquify and sink to sea level or below....however I am quite fond of Tabasco but not concerned about it disappearing for many generations...

I don’t know, I haven’t found anything on eggs quite as perfect as Tabasco. I’ve tried other stuff, but all I want is a burst of heat and flavor (it does have some flavor) without a lot of other stuff mixed in.

I don’t know about “Crystal”.

Because that is the only way one can show that today is significantly warmer than yesterday. The amount of increase one would have to add to today’s temperatures would be an obvious fabrication. So, NOAA has recently gone back and adjusted the historical data to show that the 1930s were not the hottest decade. The people who downloaded the data sets over the years, have reported that this is a wholesale tampering, i.e., each time the data set is released, almost all of the data points are changed. Note that the only way “today” is warmer that 2000 is that they lowered the temperature in 2000 and raised the temperature today.

So, there actually in “Man-made Global Warming”, but it is only in the recorded data, not in the real world.

You sure have a judgemental opinion of people who merely enjoy different cuisine than you do.

With thousands of square miles of land already lost along the coast

Damn this is news to me, I wonder do they have any actual evidence or is it just another case of a liberal with an agenda pulling alleged facts out of their ass?

I guess the 100 years of paving the Mississippi River, thus mitigating seasonal flooding (and the massive transfer of silts and clays into the Mississippi delta) has nothing to do with the gradual submergence of the land masses in the delta?

Nope. It must be climate change.

Nothing passes my lips as food unless it's been liberally splashed in Tabasco sauce.

I grew up with a bottle of Tabasco on the table and favored spicy Mexican food as a toddler.

I have tried hundreds of brands of salsa picante over the years but Tabasco is still my favorite.

One of the great joys of eating is adding my own spice to it.

I carry an emergency stash in my car trunk just in case the establishment I’m at doesn’t have it.

Tabasco to me is good for cooking, a little thin for a table condiment plus the heat sort of lags and isn’t evident right off. Crystal is another good Louisiana cayenne pepper sauce that’s a little thicker, maybe the peppers are roasted longer or something but it packs a nice hot punch without overwhelming and it’s very slightly smoky and sweet. It’s my go-to table condiment hot sauce, unless we’re talking collards, turnip greens, mustard greens and such, in which case I go for the more vinegary Texas Pete. Not a thing wrong with McIlhenny Tabasco it’s awesome for making gumbo or jambalaya, or even Spanish Rice. It’s just more of a cook’s seasoning than a table hot sauce.

Well, Tabasco is certainly my table hot sauce but I’ll have to check out Crystal - a weird name, sounds like some kind of artificial sweetener.

Well, well. A fellow traveler.

At least I don't need to explain that embarrassing peccadillo to you. I personally like to keep mine in the glove box.

Only hard-core users have these dark secrets they keep from others, lest we be judged eccentric or just plain odd.

So let's not risk our exposure to ridicule any longer by agreeing here and now to never speak of this odd practice in public ever again. Agreed?

:-)

"Saute with onions and peppers until slimy. Put in a pyrex dish, cover with Parmesan and bake."

That actually sounds reasonably palatable. I think I would want to sprinkle on some Tony Chachere's seasoning before putting on the Parmesan.

A real taste treat is to take Tony Chachere's and sprinkle liberally on top of a "bake-it-yourself" pizza, then cook per instructions.

WHY would liars release obviously doctored data? IMHO, it is because they think the average citizen is stupid enough to buy it.

Why would the seeds have to be produced in the U.S.? Why can’t they use the seeds they grow in Latin America to grow crops they grow in Latin America?

Basically, quality control and tuning.

Okay, I'll take a stab at it without looking it up.

I know it is the past verb tense of can. But it has meanings about the future.

Indicating something might happen but not necessarily probable or likely. Just possible. Not guaranteed or having a certainty of happening "but it could".

In regards to climate change, when the believers say such-and-such "could" happened, that also means such-and-such could also not happen.

Climate change is also responsible for my nausea.
