Liquid Fire

This last month, my mom visited my older sister in North Carolina who was having her baby. When she came back home, she brought back a present for me: Blair's After Death Hot Sauce with Liquid Fire. I have always considered myself a patron of the world of spice: I've eaten a raw red Thai pepper (I wouldn't recommend it!), but I wondered if I would ever use my new bottle of After Death sauce... The bottle itself is laced with warning labels and cautions. I was eager to see just how hot it was however, and my curiosity got the best of me. I pooped open the box, pulled out the bottle, and unscrewed the cap. I took a single drop of the inside of the cap on the tip of my finger, and barely touched it to my tongue. I couldn't feel anything at first, but after about two seconds my mouth erupted in searing fury. It went numb before long, and I downed a glass of milk to try to quell my pain. It subsided a little while later, and I put it in the fridge without any plans to use it. However, a few days later, we were having tacos for dinner, and I have always drenched my tacos in hot sauce in hopes of making a taco hot enough to satisfy me. I found my After Death sauce in the door of the fridge, and very sparingly put a few drops on my taco. I took my first bite and was amazed by the awesome flavor combined with the searing heat. It was my perfect taco. It hurt like crazy, but it was absolutely delicious! I love habanero spices and sauces now, and I have some seriously spicy tacos nowadays. The slogan of Blair's Hot Sauces and Spices is "Feel Alive", and I definitely feel more alive. -Sam G.
