It's about halfway through the SoCal Hotluck. Susie & I are playing tag-team with the store today, she worked the first half of the schedule and I'm picking up the second half so she can enjoy the party too! The Twister board is out on the floor, but nobody's tried it yet (still early!), the food is hot, the beer (TWO kinds of homebrew!) is great, the company is even better! Rich McCormack brought a chipotle beer that is really good! The Red Savina Ale is going over pretty well, although I think it's hotter than necessary. I'll have to cut back on the habanero flakes next time... We have visitors from New Zealand who made Jalapeno Ice Cream (I'l try it when I get back, in about 2 hours, 16 minutes and 20 seconds, but who's counting). Jim Campbell: The Bread, as usual, is a big hit, but this batch is WAY to hot! I tried to send some to New Zealand, but there were some import laws in the way... More later when the parties over! We hope to post photo's on the web page soon. Curt -- Curt & Susie Snyder Hot's Desire 3137 Mira Mesa Ave. Spicy foods and hot sauces Oceanside, CA 92056 by mail order!
