tabasco

figured tabasco would enjoy, as well as others......



Tabasco - Multi-tool in the Mountains
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's more than just Hot and Spicy (Information mostly taken from a US Army article):

- Since 1993, an individual jar of Tabasco sauce has been included in each military meal.

- Cayenne is a main ingredient in Tabasco. The capsaicin in cayenne blocks a chemical involved in the nerve transmission of pain.

- Cayenne is also rich in salicylates, natural aspirin-like compounds. Have a headache and no aspirin? Massage a balm containing Tabasco into your temples.

- Your Tabasco sauce may be used as a gargle for sore throats. The most amazing and effective treatment is using 10-20 drops of Tabasco sauce in a glass of warm water.

- Your Tabasco sauce may be used to prepare a liniment for sore muscles. Capsaicin can dramatically reduce chronic nerve pain. Studies have proven its usefulness for arthritis, shingles, trigeminal neuralgia, and diabetic neuropathy. It appears to act by decreasing the concentration of the primary chemical used by nerve cells to transmit pain signals. Several weeks of regular use may be required to achieve this effect.

- CAUTION: Cayenne pepper is a natural blood thinner. Do not take it before surgery or dental treatment! This also brings up the issue that it might mitigate certain types of high altitude sickness due to it's blood thinning capability.

- In a bare base situation with minimal civil engineer support, your Tabasco sauce may be used to create a home-made insect repellent to keep pests out of your tent.

PS. We had tabasco with us on Denali......it also makes the freeze-dried stuff more edible

Nice. Me and the Mrs. (who was not yet the Mrs. at the time) did Denali 15 years ago. So perhaps you guys can talk about that next time and avoid the CT, NY and NJ subjects...

I recall that I somehow actually took a liking to the freeze-dried black beans. I suppose exhaustion, altitude and extreme hunger might have had something to do with it. I don't think I've ever enjoyed pizza and beer more than the meal we had at Lynx Creek Pizza on our way out of the park. And I'm pretty sure it's not because it was all that good.

And...

Weight loss
Some animal and human studies show that Tabasco may increase the body's production of heat for a short time. It may also help to regulate blood sugar levels by affecting the breakdown of carbohydrates after a meal. Based on these studies, capsaicin is being investigated to see if it would be useful in treating obesity.

Heart Disease
Tabasco may help prevent heart disease. It may stimulate the cardiovascular system and may lower blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It also helps prevent clotting and hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis).

Infections
Tabasco acts as an antioxidant, protecting the cells of the body from damage by harmful molecules called free radicals. Tabasco also may help prevent bacterial infections.

Lung Disease
Tabasco may also make mucus thinner and help move it out of the lungs. It is also thought to strengthen lung tissues and help to prevent or treat emphysema.

YOU MIGHT BE A CAJUN IF YOU START AN ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH A ROUX...

YOU MIGHT BE A CAJUN IF...
Watching "Wild Kingdom" inspires you to write a cookbook.
You won't eat a lobster because you think it's a crawfish on steriods.
You take a bite of 5-alarm Texas chili and reach for some Tabasco.
You pass up a chance to meet the president to go to the Crawfish Festival in Breaux Bridge.
Your children's favorite bedtime story begins with, "First you make a roux..."
You're asked in school to name the four seasons and you reply, "Onyons, celery, bell peppers, and garlic."
You think the "Fab Four" are "Paul Prudhomme, John Folse, Justin Wilson, and A.J. Smith".
You let your black coffee [coffee with chicory] cool and find it has gelled.
You describe a complete breakfast as some deer sasuage and a yard of boudin.
None of your favorite vacation spots are north of Abbeville.
You sit down to eat boiled crawfish and someone says, "Don't eat the dead ones" and you know what they mean.
You refer to Louisiana winters as "gumbo weather"
You gave up Tabasco for Lent.
You learned bourre' the hard way - holding yourself upright in the crib.
You don't know the real names of your close friends - only their nicknames.
You can look at a rice field and can tell how much gravey it'll take for that much rice.
Your high school's rendition of the national anthem begins with, "Jambalaya, crawfish pie, filet gumbo..."
You stand up when they play "Jolie Blon."
You consider Breaux Bridge the state capitol.
You think the Mason-Dixon line is at Bunkie.

Tab Benoit is rumored to be playing Ruby's Roadhouse that weekend. Not posted on his website yet.. but it is likely:)

[BigBopper]

Ruby's music calendar shows "After8" on 7-11 and "New Orleans Rhythm Conspiracy" on 7-12. What's the rumor say about who Tab might be playing with?

Hello BigBopper! How are you?

hahaha. my phone has been located and is good hands. I went out to NOLA Thursday and as usual--- the amount of fun I had can be measured by the amount of items I left behind:o

[BigBopper]

I can certainly relate. That's why I buy my sunglasses at Walmart. Now, if I could just find the brain I lost last night.

No shit? Would be nice to know what the configuration would be for that night. Don't think they could fit too many injuns on that stage
