I’ve always loved hot sauce.
From the way I used to rain Tabasco down on just about everything I cooked, to my bizarre desire for sriracha on ice cream, it’s clear that hot sauce holds a warm place in my heart.

Confessions Of A Corporate Drone
Work has been brutally kicking my ass lately, which is one of several reasons why I haven’t been updating as often as I’d like to.
It’s literally been so busy that it hurts; to the point that I’ve found it’s exacerbating an ulcer I’ve had on and off for nearly 10 years. For the past few months I’ve been working on a huge project that takes up all of my time (and then some) and I live the project, eat the project and sleep the project. It’s kind of exhausting. Every couple of days I’ll be at my office and some coworker or other will tell me how I look like shit lately. Well, duh! Of course I do!! I’m running myself ragged and not sleeping because of how worried I am over whether it will all get done. And the funniest thing about it is I’m not even working as a project manager anymore, so I’m really not accountable for the success of what we’re doing, but I just can’t turn it off, per se.
Of course, after a tough day at the office the last thing I want to do is stand around and cook for an extended period of time, but since the Everyman doesn’t really cook, that doesn’t leave too many options, otherwise. Especially when I’m trying not to do takeout or delivery more than once or twice a month.
So, what’s a mentally drained peon to do? Come home and whip up a sriracha-laced, crumb-topped, roux-thickened cup ‘o mac and cheese, of course.
And, it wouldn’t be complete without a sweet, refreshing glass of Gerwurtztraminer on the side, either.
