How To Build A Chile Mister
Instructables has a short piece on how to build a spice mister - which is basically a small spray pump bottle filled with hot sauce. Less potent than a typical pepper spray that you would use for self defense or crowd control, this ingenious little bottle is for quickly applying hot chile pepper sauce or even capsaicin extract to a large area when cooking or eating.

Recipe: Boneless Buffalo Wings
When I wrote the Love Hot Wings and Buffalo Wings? Here Are 15 Different Recipes You've Gotta Try article a few months back, I didn't even realize at the time that I had left out a mention of boneless buffalo wings. Yikes! Since I'm a diehard devotee of Buffalo Wild Wings and the awesome boneless wings they serve, a recipe on how to make these tasty little guys is long overdue.
Why boneless? Everyone knows there's nothing like sucking the meat off a succulent, perfectly-cooked, bone-in chicken wing. Going boneless, though, has it's advantages. For one, you get considerably more meat per bite. Second, although they are smothered in sauce, there's no mess on your fingers as you eat these babies with a fork.
What makes boneless buffalo wings more than just glorified chicken breast nuggets is a good breading. Here's a recipe that will give you a zesty breading that, when combined with a spicy sauce, will give you a taste that is a cross between Buffalo Wild Wings and Chili's. (Read More)

Recipe: Ott's Buffalo Bean Soup

Well, here's a recipe for a buffalo bean soup that's anything but run-of-the-mill and watery. Using Ott's Wing Sauce, this is a thick, hearty delight that would please the palette of both chileheads and soup lovers... (Read More)Permalink

The Best New Way to Make Eggs - The Ziploc Omelet
I've come across the coolest new method for cooking am omelet - place it in a Ziploc bag and boil it. The gist of it is, crack two eggs in a quart-size Ziploc bag (a sandwich bag would be too small, a gallon size too large), add ingredients such as cheese, peppers, onions, or ham, shake the bag up, seal it, and place it in boiling water for 13 minutes. What comes out is a steaming-hot, perfectly-cooked, rolled up omelet that you can top with hot sauce and extra cheese (if you prefer).

Pictures of Actual Food Compared With Their Package Photos
German website Pundo3000.com has taken photos of one hundred different, locally store-bought, food products and compared them side-by-side with the doctored pictures that are on their packages.
Here's a German paraphrased translation of the web page, thanks to http://babelfish.altavista.com/:
"100 products were compared with their advertising photos. All products were bought, the packaging was photographed, the actual products were removed from their packaging and prepared and photographed, too. All the products were then eaten.
With this project it was not our intention to descredit any products or brands. Our only purpose was to critically evaluate the packaging advertising with the inside contents.
Videos featuring advertisement against reality: YouTube and MyVideo." (Read More)

Blair's New Pure Death Sauce
A new sauce has just been made available on the Blair's Website: Pure Death. No, it's not one to top the 750,000 SHU threshold of Jersey Death. Blair promises this one to be around the same as level as After Death, which measures just shy of the 50,000 mark (still pretty darned hot). Unlike a lot of liquid super scorchers on the market, Pure Death contains no extract, and gets it's heat from the pods of bhut jolokia and orange habanero peppers... (Read More)Permalink
