According to the Chinese zodiac we are about to begin The Year Of The Dog. To celebrate, I bought two bottles of Lucky Dog hot sauce. They are delicious concoctions created by a guy who was making hot sauce as a hobby and then turned his passion into a small business. All of his sauces are nice combinations of fresh, wholesome ingredients. No chemicals.
While stocking my cupboard, I also added a bottle of Homeboys hot sauce. New to me, Homeboys also uses natural ingredients for pleasant flavors, some packed with heat. I found these sauces at a local hot sauce store. It's good to shop local.
What are you doing to celebrate The Year Of The Dog?
We are in Florida on our annual 'warm up' tour. We have eaten at a small fish house chain called Pinchers and they had a hot sauce known as 'One Pepper' which is made from habanero, scotch bonnet, garlic and vinegar. It was smooth and packed a punch. I think that 'One Pepper' is specific to the Pinchers chain of restaurants.

We have hit a few more Florida fish joints that have their own brand of hot sauce. While I think that Pinchers one pepper was the hottest I had a nice hot sauce at the New England Fish Market that was hot and a bit sweet and also a nice hot sauce at a place called Mulligans in Jensen Beach. I think I will stop at the Fish Market and buy a bottle before I head north.
DeleteOH boy, I just looked up my fortune for the year and its looking like it might be a rough year for me. Im a dog! I guess I will spend the year trying to stay one step ahead of it all LOL. My guys love them some hot sauce! I wonder if we have a hot sauce store here...
ReplyDeleteOh man, thanks for sharing! We are big dog lovers (as you know) and also hot sauce fans, so I'll have to check out this company. Love to support small businesses, always!

Nice. I love shopping local. I also love that these don't have any chemicals, and they sound yummy. Now, I have to think of a way to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteI love supporting small businesses. I can't get over the cool packaging on these. I might have to give this a try. My family loves hot sauce!
ReplyDeleteGood hot sauce is a must :)
ReplyDeleteSounds yum! I wish I could tolerate spice better, but my husband likes it,, and I love to support small business..so I will look for this !
ReplyDeleteI make free range turkey burgers every now and then, and they could use some flavor!

I feel the same way about my beloved Juno.
DeleteOoh, sounds tasty! This week's Style Imitating Art is a brilliant picture of some dogs round a table which was chosen to celebrate Lunar New Year. I am going to do an outfit based on it! You should too! have a look at www.14shadesofgrey.wordpress.com!
ReplyDeleteLove the labels but sure aint going to try what's inside the bottle. When we went to New Zealand in December I tried to take only things that were Made In South Africa ... Here we say "Local is Lekker!"
