The doctor had an aluminum sort of splint/appliance which he taped me into and it held the fingers in place. Wore that for a week then he switched me to one that just kept the finger with busted knuckle from moving.

Then to Capital Airport and the silver bird to one of the three Washington aerodromes. DD> People in this area like beans (except kidney beans) in their red DD> chilli.

But, but, but bell peppers have NO HEAT. Unless it's a "Mexi-bell" that resulted from a cross-pollination with the bell pepper's cousin a real chile .... most often a jalapeno. She may have gotten one of those once and the heat is now psychosomatic.

Just a bottle of Cholula or Trappey's Red Devil. And NEVER EVER Tabasco which gives a sour vinegary pong to the chilli. I want the offered add-ins to enhance the flavour not cover or obscure it. Do you offer Texas Pete hot sauce which is made not far from you in winston-Salem? It's the 3rd best selling hot sauce in the land. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Dirty Dave's Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Chilies Yield: 48 Servings 1 1/2 lb Finely ground beef 1 1/2 lb Minced beef heart 1 lb Suet 2 tb Minced garlic 1 tb Yellow mustard 6 oz Water 6 oz Tomato paste 3 tb Chilli spice mix Salt & pepper Render the suet in a large skillet and cook the hamburger and beef heart until the meat has no pink left, stirring to break up any hint of lumps. Add the garlic and mustard. Mix the tomato paste with the water and add to the skillet, stirring the while. Now stir in the chilli spice and salt and pepper as you wish. Continue to cook until the mixture is done. Place in a stainless steel steam table vessel for serving over good quality (preferably all-meat) hot dogs. Stir sauce before dipping onto the sandwich so as to incorporate plenty of red "oil" to soak into the good quality buns. Top each Coney dog with yellow mustard (unless it's for me) and chopped onions. And plenty of napkins to catch the oil that wants to run down the customer's arm and stain his shirt.
