Hi @mikepm74. I'm with you; hot peppers are curiously fun. And I would love to give you something that would knock your step father's socks off. Our next venture is creating our own hot sauce called the Second Burn; I'll keep you posted on when it's ready for consumption :).
If you want to give your step dad something to light him up, get Nuckin' Futs hot sauce. I ate more than I should have on a taco once and after half a gallon of milk, hiccups for a half hour and a fiery inferno raging in my mouth I learned to give the sauce some respect. I imagine your step dad would do the same.
Is that something you buy locally? I'm stretching to an assumption since you know Luke that you are here in Middle TN? I may need to try some of that. I bought something off Amazon once that was supposed to make any grown man cry. He just laughed. I think his taste buds are dead. hahaha
"Second Burn" hahahaha.
