SC - transporting ingredients

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    I got SERIOUSLY buzzed making buffalo sauce - your basic hot sauce with
vinegar, onions, and spices. When making it in a steam kettle, I could get

horror when I would lean over the kettle, take a really deep breath, and go
"oh, wow!". You could just feel the endorphins cutting loose . . .
