A lovely spicy sauce recipe, This was our dinner two nights ago that I came up with on the fly. My husband thought it was my best yet, and actually said, You should submit this ! LOL - He's catching the spirit of this. Read more . Warning - very spicy in a hot way - Because we like it really hot, but you can tame it to your tastes.... Ingredients:

mild) |

sauce) |
