Reddit reviews The Hot Sauce Cookbook: Turn Up the Heat with 60+ Pepper Sauce Recipes

I pick wrath. I love that fiery taste.

Well, as long as you keep homemade sauces refrigerated, they will degrade in taste quality well before they reach a stage where they are unsafe. It's just like any other food you would make: refrigerate what you can consume within a week and freeze the rest.

Sauces that have plenty of salt and/or vinegar have longer shelf lives. A really good recipe will tell you how the sauce should be stored and how long it will hold. I recommend starting with a good hot sauce cookbook, such as The Hot Sauce Cookbook by Walsh or Hot Sauce! by Thompson.

Once you decide to make a larger batch and can it, then food safety becomes more of an issue, since you'll be holding at room temperature for extended periods. At that point, the US Department of Agriculture's got you covered, with their excellent website on home food preservation.

There's a good base recipe in Robb Walsh's The Hot Sauce Cookbook. Search your local library online; you might luck out.

Riddle the First
a toast!
There's this emergency candle. It has three wicks! How else would you make toast, if not over an open flame? And everyone knows how much more pleasant it is to study by candlelight. Found here

Riddle the Second
a broom?
On the arts-and-crafts list there lies a "bookbinding brush," to use when making notebooks! Not only does it look like a miniature broom, but every student needs a notebook to take notes in! Found here

Riddle the Third
a hat!
On "Chris's List," There is a lovely bundt cake pan. This lovely bundt cake pan could serve as a beautiful hat! As long as you don't mind looking like you've been caught in a whirlwind! And, it always serves to have something sweet to bribe your teachers with. ;) Found here

Riddle the Fourth
a book!
I have a whole wishlist full of books. The one I'd like most right now is The Hot Sauce Cookbook. It's about how to make hot sauce! Keeping a student entertained during holidays is the best way to avoid chaos at school! Found here

Riddle the Fifth
a trunk!
In the arts-and-crafts list, there is a beautiful wooden box. It's just the right size for a few novels. And just the right size to hide under those school books so no one finds those ahem special books. Found here

For Bonus Points
a cape!
On my "Arts and Crafts" list, I have an unfinished lighthouse. Just like the ones on CAPE Cod! A cape is necessary for those brief naps in the library. Better than a sleep mask! Found here
