Not everyone is responsible

Being a responsible user of any product or service is important, and this applies to Tabasco sauce as well. Here are a few tips for being a responsible Tabasco user:

  1. Moderate Usage: While Tabasco sauce can add a spicy kick to your meals, it’s important to use it in moderation. Too much can overpower the flavors of your dish.
  2. Respect Others’ Tastes: Not everyone enjoys spicy food, so it’s important to be considerate of others when using Tabasco sauce. If you’re serving a meal to a group of people, offer Tabasco sauce as a separate condiment, allowing individuals to add it according to their own preference.
  3. Store Properly: To ensure the longevity and quality of your Tabasco sauce, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This will help maintain its flavor.
  4. Dispose of Packaging Responsibly: When you finish a bottle of Tabasco sauce, be sure to recycle the packaging properly. Follow your local recycling guidelines to ensure it doesn’t end up in landfill.

Remember, responsible Tabasco use not only helps you enjoy your spicy meals, but also helps create a pleasant dining experience for others. Enjoy your meals responsibly and spice up your dishes in a considerate way! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

[Tabasco]: A brand of hot sauce made from Tabasco peppers that is popular for adding heat to various dishes.

Start out with hot sauce then go on in the responsibility chain until you’re the boss.

August 8th 400 wild fires

The province has had an increase of fires burning after the long weekend. However the culprit is by in large the lighting storms that was followed by rain downpours. Although part of the natural cycle the severe nature of the exchange is worth noting. Here the BC fire service is doing well in its response in air attack on start ups wether lightning or human caused.A chance for life again in BC and its natural beauty? We hope. We note the above profile and the recent response by several aircraft on a fire here in Merritt recently. Now these are subject observations however subject observations can go to subjective support. We will leave the statistic to another day a crown a holiday weekend as a success in human moments.

Thank-you fire fighters! Still the Chinese proverb “Opportunity is the other side of crisis” You all have a right to seek oppportunity when dealing with crisis.

So hope as your guide and support for the others that are also seeking live, laugh, and love as there is a tommarow.

May the friends you make be worthy of you!!!!

Built by Leonard Male the activity consists of two boards and four bean bags. The object is that three ends and the person that gets the most in the hole or closest to the hole is the winner.

👀👄Environment Canada…

At 4 AM this morning, the temperature is at 10 c, 77% humidity. This little community at about 600 m above sea level in the South Central interior British Columbia is fairly lucky. The few thousand people that are living out their lives in this little nook of the world have had few extremes, but more acquaintances then naturally would occur in such a small population base. Connected to the world as a through Fair for what was known as beautiful British Columbia to the world and the visitors that have come. We consider ourselves lucky in a perspective that has seen little disaster little upset and little trauma. However that doesn’t mean we don’t grieve and feel connected to the world and it’s tragedies. As we truly are citizens of the world that is getting smaller and smaller.

So, let’s enter the last month of Summer together in thought and spirit wherever we are, with a blank slate and good thoughts for well-being.

Dec 2023 El Nino

The El Nino developing this year is projected to be the 4th strongest in recorded history. Peaking in December water 💦 temperatures in the Pacific will reach the warmest for the year. Leaving three scenarios on how that will affect the extremes of our weather, depending on the atmosphere the jet stream, whether or not there will be an Alberta clipper…

Boiling earth.

The UN Secretary general”s recent warnings of a boiling Earth along with temperature”s reported of sea water off the Florida coast at triple digits Fahrenheit are alarming. As it should be however blame can be short of the right kind of action to cope with what may be coming. So be prepared to face whatever comes it’s not completely certain, as adults and keep your accounts short and your perspective keen We will see you in the great by and by.

Have a great August. KDG
