Oddest thing. I woke up Saturday and after making my pre-breakfast run to the grocery store, found that I was craving spicy hot food. A LOT.
Strange because although I like spicy food every once in a while, I can't tolerate it as much as I could in my younger days, when I could sit there and eat whole jalepenos.
This time, though, the craving hit hard, and at the very worst time--never go to the store hungry, but more especially, never go nursing a craving. In addition to the paper towels and toilet paper and salad dressing, I found myself purchasing a jar of Vlasic Tabasco Mini Kosher Dills, a small tub of Mrs. Stratton's jalapeno pimento cheese, some of those Cheezit twisted-together things in the hot wing and bleu cheese flavor, a pound of Jimmy Dean hot sausage, and a bottle of pepper sauce (which we've actually needed for a while, but I had always forgotten about.)
I don't think I've every had a breakfast consisting of a spicy pimento cheese sandwich with spicy dill pickles before. Sure was good, though.

I recently picked up a jar of those without noticing the "hot sauce" logo - mine were actually Texas Pete Petite Kosher Dills. Imagine my surprise when I bit into one of those things.
I threw the jar away and made sure to steer clear of the jumping cowboy on my next trip to the store.

If you ever find yourself similarly fooled in the future, be sure to let me know first before throwing them out!
