I made the salsa a few months ago after harvesting the last of my habaneros, sarranos, and tomatoes out of the garden. At a recent Christmas gathering I decided to get it out and try it (was canned). WOW!! Good flavor, and surprisingly SMOOTH heat! The salsa ended up having, in order of...

If you are married, you should ask your wife what to get for the female, maybe even have her go purchase and wrap it!

"Female Owned" in an ad is a huge red flag because the aforementioned female believes that somehow, by virtue of the gender of the driver, the car is in superior condition. Dare I, a Neanderthalic male hominid, question such beliefs? Happily, this type of flagrant disregard for rational...

I figure if I can get away with it without shortening the life of the car, I'll be ahead by 1. Disposing of used oil in a convenient way 2. More miles for my fuel dollar 3. Slightly better power 4. Offset effects of E10 in my ol' Buick Assume that A. The oil is not totally chemically spent...
