I use Taco Sloppo "hot" sauce packets in Maruchan Shrimp Noodles -- two or three of the chopped and pureed "Yo quiero Taco Bell" Chihuahua marinade does much the same thing. Not really hot, even for a moderate like me. But, interesting. I may have to road trip to get some more packets soon. All the local Sign of the Bug-eyed Dog stores closed mysteriously about 6 weeks ago. Top five reason speculated about were: 5. Francisee was a doctor and read the part of the Hypocratic Oath that says "First, do no harm." 4. Closed for Spring Cleaning and the roaches aren't back from the laundromat. 3. Owner made too msny trips to Las Vegas 2. INS nailed all the help and sent them back to S.E. Asia And the consensus pick for the real reason all the Taco Bells in Springfield, IL closed ............ 1. The dog's license ran expired.
