Hot Sauce?

LOL, for gods sake, use a Netty Pot. 

Seriously, I didn't even know what that was until my wife made me do it. But anyway, that's not why I'm replying.

The best way I've experienced to try a new hot sauce is with a Ritz, piece of cheese and 1 drop. If it's week, then 2 drops and so on. A sip of wine also helps clean the palate between sauces or experiments.
