I want to advocate that everyone carry a small personal supply of that lovely spicy sauce, ade from the Tabasco pepper.

First of all, it's a minor item. You can put a small bottle on your keyring for easy access. And the benefits of enormous! Your soup isn't spicy enough in the cafeteria? No spices on hand? You've got Tabasco! Use it at that fancy restaurant just so as not to have to wait for the server to fetch some. Spice up that taco stand taco when you've walked away without the proper condiments. Play a trick on an old pal, and put it in your boss's coffee when he isn't looking. The possibilities are endless.

Everyone should carry Tabasco at all times. And the best part is, at under 3 ounces, you can carry it on the plane too! No more bland airline food for you.

I knew a guy who carried Tobasco sauce around in a holster, it was kinda weird. Having said that, I love Tobasco sauce on so many foods, but I wouldn't be able to choose between traditional and chipotle. Also, I've heard really good things about garlic.

I believe my boss puts hot sauce in his own coffee. And everything else. But he finds Tabasco isn't hot enough in most cases. He uses Frank's, sometimes, but only as a replacement for salt. There is a variety of hot sauce in the cafeteria at work, most of which are much hotter than Tabasco. We seem to have a faction of hot sauce aficionados.

You should add it to that jambalaya Brinestone makes. She may already use it.

I find Tabasco of limited utility. It's too sour for most food. I like to have a variety of hot sauce on hand. Sriracha is probably the one I go to the most often. For eggs I like Cholula. For an hour or so of regret I have used After Death sauce.

The tiny bottles of tabasco sauce that come with military MRE's are very much so prized by me, like golden coins or tiny diamonds. The long-haul trail food — the stuff designed for absolutely minimal weight, vac-sealed and mostly freeze-dried — will mercifully cut tens of precious pounds off of your overnighter pack, but can get real bland real fast if you don't have something to spice it up with.

It's already got cayenne pepper, so I'm not sure what Tabasco would add except for the vinegar flavor. Maybe she should just ramp up the cayenne.

Jambalaya shouldn't include cayenne pepper.

The favorite hot sauce in our house seems to be Bat's Brew. So far we've only been able to find it in New Orleans, but we've picked up a supply every time we've been there. Since we have no Louisiana trip planned in the near future we might have to try to find it online when the current 6 bottles run out.

RA: I've accepted that people don't see this issue as I do, but I posted a lot of info (including 1/72 Americans being attacked per year) and ended up getting bogged down in a discussion of how to judge the concept of "convenience".

I didn't come at this argument in the way I would have ended up liking to do it. My title choices were unfortunate, and if I had gone with the less bossy and absolute way that I ended up going with, I imagine it would have gone much better.

It probably comes as zero shock to anyone here that I didn't foresee the opposition nor the negative attitudes that my unasked for advice got me.

Live and learn.

I'm still very much committed to spreading the word that there is something that we can do to help keep us safe which is easy, cheap and effective.

Sure some of these points are disputed...but it is what I believe and I will keep spreading the word and fighting for what I think is right.

I do appreciate the discussion, it does help me refine my message.

Oh, and since people are talking about Jambalaya...I thought I would post my own original recipe. It's not "traditional" by any means, I just call it Jambalaya because it is a spicy sausage dish served with rice.

Ingredients:

1 extra large (or 2 medium) videlia onions
1 can black olives
1 large can sliced mushrooms
1 jumbo can of diced tomatoes in juice
1 small can of tomato paste
1 clove of garlic
1 package of spicy Italian turkey sausage
2 cups of brown rice (serve jambalaya on top of rice)

Slice the onions up into strips, cook in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat...add the diced tomatoes with juice...add in mushrooms, drained...slice and add the garlic (being boiled in tomato juice makes the garlic very pleasant and not overwhelming at all) drain and cut olives in half and add. Add salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper to taste (stir into the liquid and sample). When adding the sausage, twist each sausage at the center and push out the contents from the casing into the skillet, covering each half sausage in veg and juice to cook. Without the casing the sausage cooks quickly...about five to ten minutes. Pull out the sausage with tongs and slice it up into bite size pieces. Add tomato paste last...add in a spoonful at a time to thicken sauce to taste.

Serve on top of rice. Makes 4-6 servings.

Look, all you have to do is state for me any opposition to my Tabasco arguments that I may have missed, and I will address it. I can't possibly address it if you don't state it in a way that compels me to answer.

How's it going controlling those violent fantasies Orincoro? Does being a bully online help? If so, please continue, I'd rather you act like a horse's ass here then commit an act of violence in the real world. Although if you ever do, I sure hope your potential victim is carrying pepper spray!

Can the guy who has threatened to punch people and confessed to wishing others be attacked after they didn't agree about pepper spray lecture people on violence fantasies some more?

(Admittedly, you copped to the wishing harm thing right away, and that kind of thing isn't uncommon-I've had fleeting thoughts like that too. Nonetheless-pots and kettles, man.)

Don't get me wrong, authenticity is overrated. My own jambalaya recipe is an outright abomination if you asked my grandmother about it. If it's delicious, I wouldn't worry about it.

The definitive jambalaya recipe is in a cookbook downstairs, but as far as I can remember, the only dry seasoning is a tablespoon or so of cajun seasoning (like Tony Chachere's or something similar). Now, to be fair, cajun seasoning does contain about 1 part in 10 cayenne, mixed in with a bunch of other seasonings. So there would be trace amounts of cayenne in a traditional jambalaya. Most of the flavor comes from the veggies (the cajun trinity), the meat, and the chicken stock.

Of course, it's also pretty difficult to even pin down 'traditional' jambalaya, because it was a bastard offspring of paella and developed organically along those lines over 300 years ago.

So, like I said, if it's delicious don't fix it. [Smile]

Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
 
I have no idea what you are talking about, but I know a bully when I see one, and you fit the bill. Don't like the label, change your behavior.
 
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
 
Wait a second, I thought the formula was, "Don't like the behavior, insist the other person stop talking to you." Anyway, as for not knowing what he's talking about...I was how long ago that you outright stated he's got violent fantasies, and implied that bullying you was what was holding him in check (with a nice pat on the back for yourself for that public service), and *then* went on to imply that if/when he victimizes someone, acting on these violent fantasies, hopefully they can defend themselves?

Actually, that wasn't long ago at all. But I suspect because you didn't explicitly state much of that, you'll (again) deny having said or suggested it. Orincoro making fun of you with a thread gag: bullying, mean behavior. Stone_Wolf suggesting Orincoro is a barely restrained nut: completely fair.

Anyway, the funny thing is, Orincoro *did* change his behavior, at least from the norm, for quite awhile. So far as I (and several others, people who aren't me and thus whose words aren't automatically discounted), nothing came of it but yet more not listening.

You're probably right, though. He's just a bully seething with violent impulses barely contained.

...just *how* is it you recognize that so clearly from so little and limited interaction?
 
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
 
Rakeesh: You aren't exactly striking me as somebody attempting to have a positive interaction with Stone_Wolf. You might want to consider how you might change that.
 
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
 
Here, I'll emulate his style then: Stone_Wolf, I'm sorry you're uncomfortable with having it pointed out that things you've said contradict one another. I hope that if this makes you angry enough to lash out in real life, whoever your victim is has some defense mechanism to stop your potential violence.

Positive interaction like *that*, BlackBlade? Man didn't like what Orincoro was saying. Fair enough, goodness knows that's so very often *me*. Suggesting he has violent fantasies that it's a struggle to repress? Not fair at all. Bad form indeed. (And then there was the whole suggesting I was lying when I brought up the punch and wishing people would be attacked thing.)

Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
 
Neither. I'm pointing out the...problem of him taking shots on this issue, having not long ago said some things that could, on the basis of Internet interactions, make *him* appear to have violent thoughts. I don't actually think he does, but he's not well-suited to throwing rocks on this issue. Which he did, quite self-righteously. Which was irritating.

Put another way, on what grounds does someone who admits they might've punched someone (which reads as a threat to me, and probably to most people. Or at least threatening, and in any event that sets aside the fleeting, regretted 'wish something bad would happen to some people) over an Internet discussion have to get critical of someone else for admitted violent fantasies?

Not much ground at all.
 
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
 
The difference is I was "quite self righteously" offering to accept his mockery if it helped him lesson his violent fantasies, where he started this mock thread after I said that unwanted violent feelings were starting to arise in me and that I needed a break to help get rid of them. He is deliberately making the situation worse.

And you are simply ignoring me when I continually and courteously ask you to leave me alone. Would you please just lay off? I would really appreciate it.

I look at it very differently. Without getting into the issue of Orincoro, I look at whether the accusation has any truth in it, as well with what intent it was made with. I try very hard to not pay undue credence as to whether or not a person personally has mastered a concept they are telling me I ought to learn.

It's too easy to excuse bad behavior by simply finding some sort of uncleanliness with the person who told me that I was dirty. While hypocrisy is a real concern, and something to be criticized, I do believe that if somebody is forthcoming about their shortcomings, they are not disqualified from identifying those shortcomings in others.

Yes, you do. And now you've shown once again how much a weasel you are.

quote:
How's it going controlling those violent fantasies Orincoro?
You said this in reference to something I said, in a very different context, about myself. You did this in order to paint me as a monster who is using this forum to bully you. You see, people do this, referring to admissions of personal insecurities that other people have made, in order to *bully* them, and remind them that they have made these admissions, and to imply that one is not afraid of using these admissions against the person they are speaking to. That is bullying behavior.

The weaselly part is doing this, and then saying something like: "what? *You* were the one who admitted that you were like this." In a separate context, I talked about myself. You know far less than you think you do about what that means- particularly what it implies about my motivations, and particularly in a separate context from the one in which I discussed myself. You are acting the coward now, not owning up to obvious attempt to manipulate and intimidate.

quote:
I never threatened rivka. I said I was thankful I didn't have an opportunity because I might have had a momentary, and regrettable lack of control.
And I didn't even use it against you. Because I understand what that feels like. Even if you *were* making an emotional appeal (not for the first time) to others to dismiss the weakness of your arguments because it was making you feel bad. That I don't do, because it's weak, and childish.


quote:
but I know a bully when I see one, and you fit the bill. Don't like the label, change your behavior.
More bullying. You threaten to call me names as if it hurts my feelings. You threaten to use what I've said out of context to defame me, and you admit the tactic by offering to stop, only if I play nice. You aren't smart enough by half to intimidate me, and you're only making yourself into the fool here. I'd give it up (well, I wouldn't actually, but then, I'm better at this than you are). You feel threatened, and I understand that. You've reacted to all challengers as if disagreement threatened you- you're passive aggressive, you appeal to emotion over reason, and you deride the character of others who disagree with you, while ignoring their reasoning. You are consistent in this flailingly obvious strategy to dominate the conversation, when you are the weakest participant in it- by changing the rules to suit your purpose. That's the coward's way.

You see, through all of this, there is a difference between me and you. I base everything I say to you on what you've represented. The quality of your arguments, the quality of your reasoning. These are the salient points. THe conclusions I make about you are drawn from how you act. Not what you say about yourself personally. If you tell me you're an outstanding citizen and a patriot- that is meaningless to me in dealing with your reasoning. It affects nothing about what you have to say. But I said one thing. One personal thing about myself, which was provided as context for *sound reasoning* on my part, and you used that. You jumped on that personal detail to diminish me as a participant in a conversation. And you think that gives you an advantage? You think something I say about myself makes me feel weak when you misrepresent it back to me? I'm only embarrassed, for you, at the obviousness of the manipulation. At the fact that you need to grasp at *that* to make yourself feel better about what I've said. Even now, you see, all I have to do is point very clearly to what *you've done here* to impune your motives. That's perfectly sound- anybody can see it, anybody can see what you were trying to do.

quote:

If you don't recognize the passive aggressive quality of that statement, then we have a problem of a different order. If you don't recognize the difference between you stating that you were getting angry and demanding understanding from others in that regard, and me contextualizing my reasoning by referring to myself and my own character, then we have yet a deeper problem. Rather, you have a deeper problem. I understand these differences very well.

You see, this is not one of those situations where I feel threatened, and need to lash out. You don't threaten me. I suspect that I threaten you- that is I think why you are acting this way, and you think that surely, being my equal as you judge yourself to be, I must feel the same. My surmise, you understand. Based entirely on the way you've acted.

I agree. But this is not about identifying shortcomings. This is about impeaching character in a cowardly and disingenuous way.

That turns and admission that I find it necessary to be careful in asserting my own self control, into a dismally passive-aggressive: "so how are those violent fantasies of yours??"

It's puerile, at its base, and an ad hominem attack against an argument based in carefully plotted reasoning- and in that I include mocking his thread. That was an effective way of demonstrating its weaknesses.
 
Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
 
When someone says I'm struggling with negative feelings so much I need a break from even discussing it, when every single person disagrees with the point of the topic, in fact several say that they are now are further away from the proposed idea then at the beginning, that is a good time for mockery. When the someone is all alone and emotionally fragile, that's when you strike...if you are a bully. And when pointed out that what you are doing isn't nice, you shrug and say "-I'm- not known for being nice." And then, even when the discussion is basically over, and you still keep pushing and mocking, not even referencing anything currently said. I'm sure your effective demonstration of weakness wasn't at all emotionally fulfilling as bullying in the schoolyard is.

I maybe wrong about pepper spray, (of course I don't think I am) but my intent was to help people. I may have gone about poorly, but I believed what I said.

You are a bully Orincoro, but you missed me by a good 15 years. You might have been able to really hurt me had you knew me then, but now I'm okay with it, I'm grounded enough in myself to just sit back and say, "Your a bully." and not care what you think even a little bit.

If you in any way hoped your mocking was for my benefit, then you are deeply self delusional. The second you knew I didn't think it was funny, if you had good intent, you would have stopped.

So, don't complain about how I've treated you when you are the one who threw the first stone, the second, third and...hey, they goes the fourth. Waiting on the fifth. Keep mocking, clearly the message isn't getting through (that you are a bully).

(Orincoro might tell you himself how unlikely my agreeing he *isn't* being really mean-spirited is. Given how frequently I've thought, well, the opposite in the past. In fact, I've thought shades of 'pithy little scum bag' of him myself at other times. Not that harsh, but a difference of degree not kind. Or to be more precise, thought that of his behavior online. Just thought I'd point out this ain't a case of me getting tagged in by my old pal Orincoro-I've disagreed with him quite strongly about posting style in the past.)

I'm a big fan of Franks...pretty good on chicken nuggets.

West Indies Creole is my favorite hot sauce. I usually buy 3-4 bottles at a time. It's got super tasty Caribbean flavor and a more than decent kick. Also, the site mohotta.com is pretty rad if you're looking for a variety of hot sauces.

EVerybody's gettin' all fancy on me here. Tabasco people. Simple, yet significant. It's good for any occasion. Are you gonna carry around a bottle of Rosarita del Norte or something? No. Tabasco is where it's at. And don't let the wooden caps on the imitators fool you. They have NO class.

I could probably get more complete and varied use out of carrying Sriracha than Tabasco, honestly. Not sure yet.

I have always thought that the aroma of Tabasco is one of the truly great wonders of the world. I absolutely love to just smell the stuff.

Unfortunately, I don't care for its flavor. I much prefer the taste of Tapatio, Cholula, even Texas Pete.

To Orincoro: While I do not appreciate your mocking me, it doesn't give me the right to call you names and I apologize for doing so.

Sorry, I just don't feel like discussing the REAL intent of this thread so instead I think I will mention that I tried Texas Pete's "Hotter" Hot Sauce. I like it. All the great flavor of the original, three times the heat, which still makes it sort of middle of the road on the heat scale.

:smack: any other takers?

I don't mind hot food from time to time but Tabasco is gross. I always detect a nasty spoiled sour aroma when I open the bottle and it puts me right off.

What else do you do that's wrong?

I think I laughed harder at that than I have at anything at Hatrack in ages.

I really don't like any sort of hot sauce, I'm a total wimp about it.
