    I'm missing something.  This is bizarre.

    event Zestfest 2016

      My god, what revisionist history!  I said (and apologized) that "Texas Creek" sounded somewhat like a winery.  It was a marketing observation.  I regret that, but it wasn't anything diabolical.     And Sicman's t-shirt is awesome, it's on its last legs though.  If I remember, the only "issue"...

    event Zestfest 2016

    When I was last somewhat active on this great website, Zestfest was a hot topic.   Ann, Creator, Sicman, etc, etc.  Just wondering what has ensued in the last few years.   I did a double-shift judging today.  Zestfest is THIS WEEKEND.  I had hoped some competitors and/or exhibitors would have...

    condiment Easy Salsa

    This is a great thread, but I don't see much of what I am proposing to do later this week.  That's roasting or grilling the tomatoes... as well as the peppers, onions and garlic.  A roasted tomato would lose a lot of juice and have a more complicated smoky flavor, no?   And the other ingredient...

    Vertically Integrated Companies

    This is a really interesting thread.   I see two sides;   1) The Henry Ford model where you buy rubber tree plantations in Brazil (auto industry, of course).  You have complete control but, switching to peppers, you're in the agriculture biz.  Do you want to acquire land to be a serious player...

    Short introduction

    Welcome from Texas - I will be interested in reading your take on things from a different locale.   :welcome:  :rofl:

    Surely been asked before...

    I suppose this is the proper forum (?).     Question: what hot sauces need to be refrigerated after opening?   We probably agree that a basic "Tabasco Sauce" is fine in a cupboard (or, in my case, desk drawer).   That's why I'm asking - I like a few bottles of sauce at the office.     But we've...

    The Doctor is Back

    No, it's me.  Had it taken at JC Penneys.   Kidding, good catch!  He's still alive, selling signed pictures on his website.

    The Doctor is Back

    I was active on this website 4-5 years ago, before and after Zestfest in Irving (2011?).  I was a judge and met some wonderful folks, both on here and at the Show.   I had to cancel the next year, as my company went bankrupt, I was let go, had to interview, etc.  And I didn't make the time to...

    event Zest Fest 2013

    I had to cancel my judging. Otherwise, I would be happy to post from the banquet. I was laid off a few months ago (company went bankrupt) and I finally got two job offers this morning. So, there was administrative stuff to sort through this afternoon. I'm still going to try to attend the...

    John, are you submitting products for judging? I'm tired of rewarding Cajohn all of the rewards! His stuff is great, and it's a blind judging, but I want something new and fresh. Can you compete?

    event Zest Fest 2013

    I will be there! Not that I really add anything, except a few bucks for purchases and a discerning palate for judging. I'm judging on TUE afternoon and I'll be at the banquet Friday. Other than that, I hope to enjoy the show when I can make some time, maybe Saturday. Looking for a fun table...

    Guess who is back? (Dr P)

    By the way... ain't Bloody Mary's grand? Talk about a blank palette to add our blessed peppers. Every sip is an adventure... you want to shimmy a little and howl. I like to add Old Bay seasoning. I've been in Texas for 20 years, but I'm a native Marylander. Something about Old Bay... that...

    Guess who is back? (Dr P)

    I know.... the Defcon stuff is awesome.... but $9 for shipping two bottles? I had hoped to ship it for Christmas (we're doing wings one day). I'll definitely buy a bottle "in person" (assuming Creator and Ms. Creator have a booth at Zestfest). Sicman, have you got your website up to snuff...

    Guess who is back? (Dr P)

    Thanks all. Hope to see you at Zestfest and the banquet. Ann, you have terrific stuff, can't believe you're not vending. Didn't you have some sort of spicy Worcestershire sauce... or am I being confused? Something like that... as a marinade base would be liquid gold. I'll spend about 100...

    Guess who is back? (Dr P)

    Anyone bringing something special to Zestfest? I hate to be a downer, but I like Cajohn's products. That Trinidad Scorpion BBQ sauce is.... liquid gold. And those "Zombie" dudes have a great sauce for chicken. And the slacker "Hula Girl" guy... that sauce is damn good... like a deeper A-1...

    Guess who is back? (Dr P)

    I simply stopped frequenting this site. And I met some awesome folks through it. I recently got a reminder about judging at ZESTFEST 2013 in Irving, TX. And I'm definitely IN. I'm actually wearing my Sicman Spices T-shirt as a type this... that may have been a throw-away gift, but it meant...
