O.C VIA CASA SILVA

WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE POLICE ACADEMY, ONE REQUIREMENT IS THAT YOU ARE SPRAYED WITH O.C. SPRAY. (MOST PEOPLE JUST CALL IT PEPPER SPRAY) UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT THE LITTLE CAN YOU SEE OFFICERS WITH.... THAT WOULD BE TOO EASY. THE POLICE ACADEMY USES FIRE EXTINGUISHERS THAT ARE FULL OF O.C. SPRAY TO SHOW YOU THAT, YES, IT IS GONNA HURT LIKE A MUTHER AND YES, YOU WILL WISH YOU WOULD DIE... BUT, IN THE END, YOU WILL BE FINE.

THAT IS, ONCE YOUR SNOT STOPS LEAKING DOWN THE FRONT OF YOUR BODY, YOU STOP HACKING UP YOUR LEFT LUNG AND YOUR EYES ARE ABLE TO REMAIN OPEN FOR LONGER THAN 2 SECONDS WITHOUT INVOLUNTARILY SHUTTING FROM THE MASSIVE BURNING SENSATION THAT YOU FEEL. I USED TO THINK IT WAS CRAZY TO HAVE TO DO IT. AFTER ALL, IT IS NOT LIKE YOU GET SHOT WITH YOUR GUN TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU CAN SURVIVE THAT TOO...... SO TODAY...

TODAY, I TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE VIA PEPPERS. I ALSO TRIED TO KILL TOMMY, ACCORDING TO HIM. I AM SO ADDICTED TO RUTH'S HOT SAUCE THAT I AM LITERALLY MAKING IT EVERY 4 DAYS...BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM...

I CAN NOT GET IT EXACTLY LIKE RUTH'S. MINE IS FLAMING HOT AND JUST NOT AS GOOD. SO TODAY WHILE I AM TRYING TO GET THE CHILI DE ARBOL TO GET PASTY IN THE BLENDER... WHAT DO I DO? I STICK MY FACE RIGHT INTO THE BLENDER AND THE CAT BUMPS ME, BECAUSE I AM ON THE FAMILY ROOM FLOOR... I CAN EXPLAIN WHY... BUT STILL.... I INHALE PEPPER PASTE, SEEDS AND FUMES AND NEARLY FALL OVER INTO THE CORNER OF OUR ENTRYWAY TABLE. HOLY COW... POLICE ACADEMY HELL DAY FLASHBACK... SERIOUSLY...

I AM HACKING UP MY RIGHT LUNG, SNEEZING, TRYING TO FIND ANYTHING TO COVER MY EYES AND STOP THE SNOT.... ALL AT THE SAME TIME.... ALL THE WHILE I AM HOPING I DON'T TRIP OVER THE BLENDER THAT IS SITTING ON THE CARPET BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO WAKE UP PUDGIE FROM HIS NAP... HIS NAP THAT IS TAKING PLACE DIRECTLY ABOVE THE KITCHEN.... BRILLIANT MOVE ON MY PART LET ME TELL YOU.

THE WHOLE TIME THIS IS GOING ON, I AM OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT THAT WHEN I BOILED THE CHILI'S, THE SMELL HAS GOTTEN UPSTAIRS AND NOW TOMMY IS COUGHING AND SNEEZING AND HIS FACE IS LEAKING WHILE HE IS TRYING TO GET READY FOR WORK.... THEN...

SHANEN CALLS ME TO GET KYLEE AND I AM LIKE... "HELLO, JUST TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE BY PEPPERS HERE"! I HAVE ALWAYS SAID... MY POOR HUSBAND SURELY DID NOT MARRY ME FOR MY COOKING! GEEZE... I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW BAD OUR HOUSE WAS UNTIL I WENT OUTSIDE AND BACK IN AND STARTED THE HACKING PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN! THE SAD PART IS... I AM GONNA TRY AGAIN TOMORROW... WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN.. AND WITH A NEW BLENDER.

SO FOR ALL THE INQUIRES ABOUT RUTH'S AMAZING HOT SAUCE.. HERE ARE THE DIRECTIONS:


Ingredients:

1 cup boiled and drained chile de arbol
1 32/36oz Can of Green Whole Tomatillos
1 Medium Garlic Clove
1 1/2 Tablespoon of Sea Salt or 1 Tbl. Spoon regular salt
1 to 2 Fresh Squeeze Limes depending on size

Directions:

In blender, blend chilies to a paste consistency. Mix at medium speed: drained whole tomatillos, garlic, salt and limes, if salsa is too thick, add tomatillo juice. If salsa thickens in a day or two just add little water.

I like the Dos Ranchitos chips from Food City with the hot sauce the best, but My Nana's are a close second in my own opinion!

ENJOY!

THANK YOU RUTH!!!
