We are definitely soul-mates, Alex! I must have at least as many pepper products as you....I just gave a box-full (20 jars?) of half-used goodies to my brother-in-law (because I've lost track of Randy!). I also have begun limiting my accessions to Big Lots and flea markets....bought a bottle of Tabasco "Hot Ketchup" yesterday at the flea market....it's pretty good, but...similar to my own concoction, made by adding a few TBSP of Al Kulsa's "Bottled Hell" to Brand-X ketchup.
