I've been a bit under the weather since Monday evening...only feeling good enough to peak my head outside and go to work just this morning. Tuesday and Wednesday, I treated myself to a 5 splash delight of orange hab hot sauce in a juice glass of Red Gold tomato juice (other tomato juices are just imposters in Indiana). ;-) Oh, boy does that really pick you up and make you feel better! ;-) Ted Howdy Ted, Sounds good - I used to make something similar (haven't for a while). It's basically just a bloody mary without the wodka ',;~} I'd use tom juice if we had it, or just a tin of plum toms, blended and sieved. To that I'd add a generous amount of black pepper, a few squirts of Worcestershire sauce (only _ever_ use Lee and Perrins, folks!), a little dark brown sugar, and either plenty of Tabasco or cayenne or chilli-paste or a mixture. Mix, put into a chilled pint glass (ice it if you like) and drink. Scrummy! I especially liked this for sore throats - hurts on the way down for the first gulp, then sooooothes excellently afterwards. Those pesky bacteria don't stand a chance against such an armoury :-) Shaun still only 2 out of 40 seeds sprouted :-( R -- Desire for Fire!
