Hahaha! That is hysterical.

David Tran. One of the truly great men in manufacturing today. What a story this guy has. I love his product, and have been consuming it in large quantities since he first started making it back in 1980.

Holy shit, he looks like he hasn't aged a day!

So have you noticed any change? They mention it used to be made with Serranos but now they use red Japs (pepper, not people.) I don't know but I always thought the red japs were less hot, and a bit more sweet, than the green ones (harvested earlier.) At least in my garden. And Serranos are hotter than japs. Love his sauce though and American success story.

I've got some Jalapenos and Serranos going too.  Will do a taste test later this summer if I can stand it.

Sarah Silverman asked the question "what happened to all the white dog poo"? I find it a valid question becouse I remember having to avoid the turds when mowing the lawn for fear that they would shoot out like a rock and kill someone.

Unfortunately  due to my laziness, squirrels, birds, snails, flooding, and associated varmints the only thing I can successfully grow are various peppers- but only hot kind. Even green and red peppers won't work out and my tomatoes (of every variety are failing, not fruiting, or eaten by something early.) Let me point my laziness here and the record rains (I've heard someone say too much ran is bad for plants?) And I have not used chemicals, fertilizers, or policed the area constantly.) But, it seems, the hot peppers (japs, serranos, ghost, tabasco) are thriving or at least growing. Critters don't like them, I guess?

They used bone meal before...no longer...

[akwilly]

I guess maybe I should eat some bone meal after a night of drinking keystone lights just to make things more normal.

I never trusted Keystone (or Keystone Light, Keystone Ice, etc) because of the "specially lined can." I was afraid if was slight dented (say if a buddy threw one to you) whatever the "special lining" was, some new amazing glass-like polymer no doubt, would come off and be swallowed adding who knows what to your morning after fun from cheap beer, or even cancer! Surely, their ads could not have refereed to the "lining" painted on the outside of the can.....

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles.  It can get pretty frustrating.  The deer made a mess of mine but I've got some bird netting erected around them now.

Hell, it is not for income and not even my primary hobby (though I would love to be able to devote more time to it and have a nice garden and yard.) But the drought and/or floods and water restrictions, amongst other things, make it not feasible. I will say, however, how much more respect I have for farmers and ranchers. That's who I care about with the wide vagaries of weather. I still find it amazing that people, including many relatives, can make a living (much less a profit) from it!
ps: my place, here, is well fenced and so no deer. But older house, and country place, forget about it. Especially in the drier times deer will eat about everything and very hard to deter (though a big dog if kept outdoors can work well I'm told.) Oleanders and rosemary are about the only thing they won't eat. Even eat cactus, especially when budding or young. Sprays (made from predators can work but you have to reapply so often. And $. Homemade stuff can work but again time and reapplication.) Electric fence....? Don't buy the thin gauge stuff at Home Depot or local garden store but go to a ranch supply store and get some heavier gauge and other fencing along with it, if you try it. Otherwise have fun freeing deer, and picking up wire and posts strewn all over your property!

I just have a small plot so the netting works fine, if a little inconvenient and ugly.  I was hoping to eventually generate a little income in the local weekly markets, but that's probably out for now.  I keep planning to plant a border of herbs and lavender to keep them away.  I don't know, I've watched these deer grow up and 'know' the whole family.  One has a bad limp so I try not to alarm him too much.  I think he might have tripped in one of the holes while i was doing some digging last year.  It sounds like you've had some experience with that thin gauge electric fencing, and presumably a few good meals.

[onan]

some kind of hot sauce.

Why am I googling for you?

[PB the Deplorable]

Sriracha, I go through my fair share as well

[onan]

Yeah, why that is considered hot is beyond me.

France using those Mistral warships as leverage against Russia is rather lame. Obviously they were pressured into doing this but what a bunch of douches.

http://sputniknews.com/world/20150710/1024446687.html

The penalty is almost the full price of the two carriers. If they pay the fine they should just buy the damn boats. Otherwise they're just pissing away ther money.

[b_dubb]

It tastes like spaghetti sauce. It's hot sauce for children.

onan you were Googling for me because

1) I didn't really care about the answer
2) You're a helpful dude when you get right down to it

Well, it`s definitely lost some punch, but probably gained a bit more flavor. I remember the days when, Mr. Tran, himself, would come around  the various Pho shops on University and El Cajon Blvd., supplying the owners with his concoctions. Come to think of it, I probably consume as much, or more, of his other lesser known product -- sambel oelek.

Back in the olden days, I was very close with a significant portion of the Vietnamese and Laotian community in SoCal. Mostly former guerrilla and specop peeps from the war who had made their way here. They were fond of throwing these amazing parties that I was -- all too frequently -- practically coerced into attending.


LOTS of imbibing and great SE Asian chow. We probably kept Mr. Tran in business with our sambel oelek and sriracha habit, or as I called it then, "rooster sauce."

[FightTheFuture]

Yeah, why that is considered hot is beyond me.

It`s not supposed to be that hot. Although, in the early days, it was quite a bit spicier. I put it on practically everything, including coconut milk ice-cream.


If I want more heat, I opt for my own homemade sauce made from fresh picked South Carolina Reapers.

I get ya on that. My liking is for something that makes me sweat. I like the numbing tingling and the chance of needing a big gulp of ice. But I don't claim to be an expert or even an aficionado. My son goes through a bottle of Sriracha every other week. For me there is little better than a very spicy chipotle flavor.

Russia's already paid for them. That's the fucked up part. 1.5 billion I think.
